Migrants walk towards the Fnideq region in northern Morocco after leaving Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta near the town of Fnideq, on the Morocco-Spain border, following an attempted to cross at the Bab Sebta border crossing, on the Morocco-Spain border on August 1, 2026. More than 48,000 migrants have returned to Morocco from Spain's Ceuta after tens of thousands crossed the frontier into its north African enclave in recent days, Spain's interior ministry said on July 31. Hundreds of people converged on Morocco's northern town of Fnideq on July 30 evening, following rumours that the border with Spain's Ceuta had opened, according to an AFP journalist.
