The Mixed Migration Center highlighted the central role that Morocco plays in the administration of an irregular migration between Africa and Europe, taking advantage of its strategic location and bilateral and multilateral agreements, in particular with the European Union. These partnerships help Morocco meet the challenges of the flow of irregular migrants and human smuggling networks.
Morocco has established its position of management in the fight against clandestine immigration, with praise from the countries of the European Union with its continuous efforts in this area. Where the kingdom experienced remarkable development after having signed agreements with Brussels and Madrid in 2019, accompanied by aid in the context of cooperation between the two parties.
The report of the center published in this march confirmed that the operational partnership between Morocco and the European Union, launched in 2022, has greatly contributed to strengthening the efforts of the kingdom to monitor borders and face irregular migration. Since the beginning of 2023, Moroccan authorities have managed to thwart tens of thousands of illegal immigration attempts and to prevent migrants from reaching Europe through illegal passages.
The report also examined the most important flow of migrants, noting that migration continues through the Mediterranean, in particular the Western road connecting the Moroccan coasts and the Spanish coasts, in addition to the road through the Manish channel which separates France and the United Kingdom.
The report pointed out that the number of immigrants who arrived in Spain and the Moroccan occupied GPA, Ceuta and Melilla, reached around 17,475 immigrants in 2024, against around 16,000 in 2022. These figures increased compared to previous years, because the number in 2019 reached around 29,000 immigrants, while it was 60,000 years.
The report also monitored the flow of irregular migrants to European territory through Italy, in particular North African countries such as Tunisia and Libya. This increase has prompted Italy to sign agreements with these countries to reduce irregular migration.
The report continued to examine the methods of migration through the Atlantic Ocean, because the number of immigrants who crossed this path in 2024 reached more than 46,000 immigrants, with a notable increase compared to previous years. The Mauritanian and Senegalese coasts have become major departure points for immigrants, encouraging the authorities of these countries to improve control in order to reduce these flows.
In the context of the efforts made, Moroccan authorities have managed to thwart more than 45,000 illegal immigration attempts in Europe in 2024 and dismantle 177 criminal networks to pass immigrants.
For its part, Rabat and Madrid have continued to improve their cooperation in this area since the end of the diplomatic dispute between them in 2022, after Spain announced its support for the Moroccan Sahara.
In conclusion, the report has warned the need to constantly update European Union policies to keep up with the pace of new immigration methods, calling for cooperation with the countries concerned to face this phenomenon and reduce its challenges.
