Spain and Morocco are working to stabilise their bilateral relationship following a sharp spike in migrant crossings into Ceuta (a Spanish enclave on the northern tip of Africa, bordered by Morocco), which triggered a broader diplomatic standoff between the two neighbours. The crisis has been compounded by accusations from some Spanish right-wing and far-right politicians, who have used the situation as domestic political fodder rather than engaging constructively with Rabat. Analysts warn that inflaming tensions with Morocco risks undermining years of cooperation on migration management and regional security, making a measured diplomatic response essential for both countries.
