Morocco to identify and return unaccompanied minors following Royal Instructions

A Moroccan diplomatic source indicated that the Kingdom is prepared to collaborate with its Spanish and European partners on this initiative. The source emphasized that Morocco views itself as a sovereign partner, not a subcontractor, in migration management. The diplomatic source also refuted accusations that Morocco is uncooperative or unwilling to facilitate the return of these minors, particularly in cases like those in Spain.

The source described such insinuations as "fallacious and unfounded," stating that Morocco consistently honors its commitments. The main obstacles to repatriation efforts, according to the source, are administrative and judicial hurdles within partner countries. Morocco insists that its partners must address these internal legislative and administrative barriers if they genuinely wish to facilitate the return of unaccompanied minors, rather than using this issue as a political lever to suggest a lack of cooperation from Morocco.
