摩洛哥警方周六逮捕了111人，他们试图穿越边境进入西班牙北非领土休达[1]。被捕人员中包括109名来自撒哈拉以南非洲的移民和2名摩洛哥公民[1]。此次行动发生在社交媒体呼吁发动大规模越界活动两周后[1]，距离上一次超过72000名移民涌入休达的事件仅14天[1]。那次事件造成至少96人在尝试进入欧洲过程中丧生[1]。
为应对边境安全形势，西班牙已部署超过500名额外警力，使休达总警力达到1600多人[1]。西班牙内政部长费尔南多·格兰德-马拉斯卡表示："我们将继续部署必要的人员以尽快恢复正常状况，防止7月30日的事件再次发生"[1]。此外，西班牙还在边界安装了海上屏障加强防线[1]。摩洛哥政府已警告将起诉组织和参与计划于8月15日进行的大规模越界活动的人员[1]。目前约5000名移民仍滞留在休达[1]。
Moroccan authorities arrested 111 people on Saturday as they sought to cross into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta [1]. Among those detained, 109 were migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and two were Moroccan citizens [1]. The arrests occurred in or near the Moroccan city of Fnideq, situated along the border with Ceuta [1].
The operation came just two weeks after a mass migration event that saw over 72,000 migrants enter Ceuta, resulting in at least 96 deaths during attempts to reach Europe [1]. In response to the renewed crossing attempts, Spain significantly reinforced its border presence, deploying more than 500 additional police officers to the territory and bringing total police strength in Ceuta to over 1,600 [1]. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska stated: "We will continue deploying the necessary personnel to restore normality as quickly as possible and prevent a repeat of what happened on July 30" [1]. Spain also installed maritime barriers to strengthen its defenses [1].
The Moroccan government had warned that it would prosecute organizers and participants of a planned mass border crossing scheduled for August 15 [1]. Approximately 5,000 migrants remained in Ceuta following the earlier surge [1].
