On August 3, 2026, Morocco's Interior Ministry issued a statement regarding recent events in Ceuta (Sebta), a Spanish enclave in North Africa. The ministry blamed digital misinformation and trafficking networks for the incidents, which have raised tensions in the region.
According to the statement, the ministry emphasized that false information spread on social media has contributed to the situation, urging citizens to rely on official sources. It also highlighted the role of organized trafficking networks in exploiting migrants and fueling instability.
The ministry called for enhanced cooperation between Moroccan and Spanish authorities to address the root causes and prevent further escalation. No specific details about the nature of the events were provided in the statement.
