Morocco says it has thwarted hundreds of migrants' attempts to reach Ceuta

Moroccan security forces claim to have dispersed migrants, mostly of sub-Saharan origin, who were hiding in a mountainous area of Castillejos.

Fnideq (Morocco), 14/08/2026.- Police establish a checkpoint at the entrances to the Bab Sebta border crossing to prohibit access to Ceuta, in Fnideq, Morocco, 14 August 2026. Only individuals with authorization to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta are allowed to pass through. These measures are being implemented as the Ministry of the Interior reported detecting anonymous calls on social media urging a mass illegal crossing into Ceuta and Melilla on 15 August.
