The Tarajal border crossing between Morocco and Spain in Ceuta has returned to normal operations after a tense weekend marked by attempts from hundreds of young migrants, mostly Moroccans, to breach the perimeter fence.
These attempts were organized through social media, with slogans like "15-9 Fnideq-Ceuta" circulating online.
Despite the pressure, no irregular entries into Spanish territory were reported, thanks to the robust response from Moroccan and Spanish security forces.
The Moroccan Gendarmerie deployed hundreds of agents and vehicles, effectively dispersing the gathered youths.
The situation highlights the ongoing migration pressure in the region, exacerbated by economic challenges in Morocco, where a significant portion of the youth is unemployed and contemplating emigration.
The recent events underscore the need for continued vigilance and cooperation between Moroccan and Spanish authorities to manage the border effectively.
