In addition, a total of 332 trafficking networks were dismantled, the same source points out, noting that these networks are constantly developing their schemes and pooling their services and criminal activities.
In this regard, 14 assaults and attempted attacks on the presidencies of Sebta and Melilia were recorded, involving a total of more than 4,290 migrants.
-On the same note, 18,645 migrants were rescued at sea and were able to benefit from support in terms of assistance, medical support, accommodation and orientation, as part of humanized border management.
In addition, some 6,135 irregular migrants benefited from voluntary returns to their countries of origin, in coordination with their diplomatic legations, as part of the protective approach of the National Immigration and Asylum Strategy (SNIA). .
