Moroccan authorities halted an irregular migratory attempt from the southern Moroccan city Laayoune on Saturday morning, which resulted in the death of two sub-Saharan migrants.
200 migrants attempted to reach the Spanish Canary Islands, but Moroccan authorities managed to seize an inflatable boat, a motorboat, and 10 gasoline containers, in addition to arresting 54 sub-Saharan irregular migrants.
Local authorities and security services in the region of Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra have aborted several irregular migration attempts recently, as Morocco’s southern provinces become the favored departures, instead of the traditional northern cities bordering Spanish enclaves Ceuta and Melilla.
On both Friday, March 25, and Saturday, March 26, in the city of Laayoune, 106 irregular migrants were arrested by Moroccan authorities, shortly before they ventured into the ocean for the neighboring Spanish Islands.
In the southern province of Tarfaya, security services have arrested 76 sub-Saharan migrants after thwarting three separate crossing attempts in Naila, Tah, and Daoura.
These operations have allowed the seizure of two rubber boats, a motorboat, and nine large containers of gasoline, of 25 liters each.
