Moroccan and Spanish authorities discussed collaborating on bringing 100 young Moroccans to Melilla, after a failed attempt to cross to Spain by jumping over a fence on Monday.
According to Spanish media reports, the situation was managed with no need for security reinforcement.
Sabrina Moh, Spain’s delegate in Melilla, said that the situation was contained with the help of the city’s available resources.
However, she stated that if it were necessary to increase the number of troops in the border perimeter, they are in contact with the Ministry of the Interior, “as always”, so that reinforcements could be sent to the city in the shortest possible time.
To prevent jump attempts like this recent one, the delegate recalled that Morocco has also been implementing a system of its own and has a significant security force carrying out operations.
According to Moh, if there are any new changes in the perimeter, the police would keep watching it in cooperation with Morocco.
Moroccan police previously reported that the crossing attempt that took place last Monday is the first in nearly a year and a half following the one that happened on June 24, 2022, during which 23 migrants lost their lives on the Moroccan side.
