Spain and Morocco have reached an agreement to repatriate all migrants who entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta irregularly in recent days, according to a reliable source in Rabat. The agreement, confirmed on July 30, 2026, stipulates that no regularization will be granted by Spain.
The influx of migrants, which occurred over the past week, prompted urgent bilateral talks. Both governments have committed to returning the migrants to Morocco, as part of ongoing cooperation on migration management.
This decision aligns with previous agreements between the two countries, which have often cooperated on border control and migration issues. The repatriation process is expected to begin immediately, with Moroccan authorities coordinating with their Spanish counterparts.
No further details were provided about the number of migrants or the timeline for the repatriation, but the source emphasized that the return would be comprehensive.
