Recently, Moroccan authorities have successfully facilitated the return of a new group of young Moroccan migrants through the Oujda-Maghniya border crossing as part of ongoing repatriation efforts between Morocco and Algeria. This repatriation initiative, reported by the Moroccan Association for Assistance to Migrants in Difficult Situations, included 33 individuals, among whom was one woman. This marks the second group of young Moroccans to be returned through the same border crossing in September alone.
The returnees hailed from various cities and regions across Morocco, including Taounate, Nador, Safi, Meknes, Oujda, and other notable locales such as Fes, Berkane, Salé, and Jerada. The arrival of these young individuals saw the presence of many family members, particularly mothers who awaited their children eagerly, either along the road leading to the border or in the postal square of Oujda. This emotional scene highlighted the long wait endured by families who had been anticipating the return of their loved ones for quite some time.
This return process coincides with the ongoing efforts of the Moroccan Association for Assistance to Migrants in Difficult Situations, which continues to address various cases involving Moroccan migrants, including those concerning missing individuals, detainees, and the deceased during their migration journeys. The association reported that it regularly receives requests from families seeking information about their children, whether through tracking court proceedings or assisting in the identification process necessary to confirm relationships with the involved parties, including cases of the deceased, such as the recently departed Yassine Dazzaz.
Moreover, the association has maintained its focus on monitoring the cases of Moroccan nationals detained in Libya, responding to continued requests from families wanting updates on the fate of their loved ones or seeking assistance to navigate their legal and humanitarian situations. This repatriation process coincides with the impending launch of the association's inaugural program titled 'Support and Assistance,' aimed at helping the missing, imprisoned, detained, and deceased migrants. This initiative is part of the association's broader efforts to support families and track the relevant cases associated with these individuals.
