Moroccan Authorities Detain Migrants at Ceuta Border
News summary

On Sunday, hundreds of migrants, primarily Moroccans, attempted to breach the border into Spain's Ceuta enclave but were thwarted by heavy police presence and security measures. The attempts were reportedly fueled by social media calls for a mass crossing, culminating in a high-tension situation at the border, which included arrests and police chasing migrants in the vicinity of Fnideq. Moroccan authorities deported 2,400 individuals considered likely to attempt illegal migration within three days and arrested 60 people for disseminating false information to incite border crossings. Both Moroccan and Spanish security forces coordinated extensive operations, deploying armored vehicles and checkpoints to manage the situation. The region has seen a surge in migration attempts amid ongoing economic crises and armed conflicts in various African countries. Authorities reported that this year, they blocked over 75,000 irregular migration attempts, indicating an increase compared to previous years.
