Get ready for another attempt as social media accounts have set a new date, September 30, for illegal immigrants to try crossing to Spain after their thwarted attempt on September 15. Experts suggest strategic changes by immigration networks, orchestrating these waves of migration. Alejandro Ramírez Hurtado, spokesperson for Ceuta’s government, highlighted the need to investigate the orchestrators behind social media calls. Former Education Minister Mohamed Ben Abdelkader accused Algerian intelligence of orchestrating the mass escape to Ceuta.
Professor Abdel Rafie Talidi emphasized the public and planned nature of these migration waves, possibly aiming to damage Morocco’s image. He stressed the vulnerability of minors to social media persuasion and the need for improved opportunities in Morocco to prevent illegal immigration.
Researcher Abdelhamid Jamour noted the adoption of Sub-Saharan tactics in the “Fnideq wave,” demonstrating a collective mobilization for entry into Ceuta. He expects future migration attempts to increase in frequency and intensity, posing a growing crisis for Morocco and Europe.
Stay tuned for updates on the evolving migration situation as authorities brace for more intense attempts in the near future.
