Morocco has broken its silence regarding the recent influx of migrants into the Spanish city of Ceuta, admitting approximately 40,000 people crossed the border. Authorities also confirmed 11 deaths occurred on the Moroccan side during the event. Despite the crisis, Morocco asserts its commitment to remaining a reliable partner. The statement comes after days of limited official response, with initial commentary primarily from left-wing organizations like the Party for Progress and Socialism (PPS). The large-scale movement of people into Ceuta has sparked diplomatic tensions between Spain and Morocco. This admission marks a significant development in understanding the scale and impact of the border event. Morocco’s pledge to maintain a partnership suggests a desire to de-escalate the situation.
