Morocco Arrests 111 Migrants in Another Attempt at Mass Crossing Into Ceuta: Media
109 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and two Moroccan citizens were arrested in or around Fnideq—a town on the coast of northern Morocco—on Saturday, following social media calls for another mass crossing, according to media reports.
Key points from the situation:
🟠Since the attempt on July 30, Spain has installed a maritime barrier and deployed more than 500 additional police, increasing the total force in Ceuta to over 1,600.
🟠Spain will not allow irregular migrants to stay in Ceuta, travel to the mainland, or get legal status, except in rare cases of extreme vulnerability.
🟠About 5,000 migrants still remain in Ceuta, with some sheltering on the urban beach.
🟠Morocco is monitoring social media posts calling for crossings and has warned it will prosecute organizers and participants.
