Morocco has agreed to cooperate with Spain and other European partners to repatriate unaccompanied Moroccan minors following a migration crisis that left more than 1,100 children stranded in Ceuta.
The decision follows an unprecedented migration surge into the Spanish enclave, which saw a sudden influx of migrants that overwhelmed local capacities and left a large number of children without guardians across the territory.
Moroccan authorities have confirmed their readiness to work with Spain and European partners to facilitate the return of these minors to their home country.
The crisis in Ceuta has highlighted the ongoing volatility of the Africa-Europe border, as the sudden movement of over 1,100 unaccompanied minors created an urgent humanitarian situation for Spanish officials.
The agreement to repatriate the children is intended to resolve the immediate deadlock in the territory and ensure the minors are returned safely through coordinated diplomatic channels.
