Spain says a large share of the migrants who entered the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco have gone back to Morocco. Both outlets report that Spain estimates the number of people who entered during the migrant surge at around 50,000. ABC Australia says at least 25,000 of those entrants have returned, while Al Jazeera reports that 50,000 migrants have returned in total, reflecting different figures cited for the scale of departures.
The accounts agree that Ceuta experiences a surge in arrivals linked to crossings from Morocco and that many of those migrants later return across the border. The reports also indicate that the situation is dynamic, with movements in both directions rather than a one-off influx. Beyond these points, the outlets do not provide additional agreed details such as the time frame of the arrivals and returns, the conditions under which returns occur, or the status of any remaining migrants in Ceuta at the time of reporting.
