More than 1.5 million Moroccans residing abroad (MREs) returned to Morocco this summer via the Spanish ports as part of the Marhaba Operation. These figures are significantly higher than those recorded last year, according to updated data from the Spanish Ministry of the Interior.
The Spanish justice system has confirmed the sentences of one to five years handed down by the provincial court of Malaga against three individuals accused of transporting 200 kilos of hashish by helicopter from Tetouan, Morocco to the peninsula.
After a disappointment in the 1,500 meters, where Mohamed Katir failed to qualify for the final even after leading the race, the Spanish middle-distance hope has bounced back.
FC Barcelona player, Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana , only 16 years old, could wear the Spanish national team jersey in the upcoming international matches. Morocco would therefore lose a gem.
Moroccan textile exports to Spain have recorded a significant decline in the first half of the year, according to data published by Icex Spain Exports and Investments.
Lamine Yamal , 16, could be on the list of players called up by Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish national team coach, for two Euro 2024 qualifying matches in Germany.
Lamine Yamal is set to be one of Barça’s great players. At just 15 years and 290 days old, the player of Moroccan origin became last season the youngest footballer in the club’s history to make his debut in La Liga with the first team. His former coaches consider him a rare gem, an exceptional player.
To put an end to the controversy following the publication by the Moroccan embassy in Madrid of a map of the kingdom including the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, the Spanish government has reaffirmed the Spanish identity of the two enclaves, as well as its commitment to mutual respect in relations with Morocco.
Morocco will not engage in armed conflict with Spain to try to seize Ceuta and Melilla. This is at least the opinion of some Spanish military and diplomatic experts.
Operation Marhaba recorded this year an increase of 10.8% compared to last year in terms of passenger flow. According to official data, some 1,585,693 Moroccans from Europe joined Morocco via the Spanish ports between June 15 and August 15.
Two couples of Moroccans residing in Belgium were arrested on Sunday in Ceuta in possession of more than 200 kilos of hashish hidden in their vehicles.
