ON THE POINTS OF DIVERGENCE

Angle of disinformation versus security apparatus
Coverage that diverges · with 6 other countries

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Security-focused Moroccan framing: emphasis falls on the repressive actions of Moroccan forces rather than on individual migrant trajectories and circumstances.

Reliance on Spanish official sources (Interior Ministry, INGESA, El Pais) cited without independent contradiction or alternative viewpoint.

Limited coverage of root causes driving Sub-Saharan migration and migrants' conditions of origin; the narrative centers on border management and official responses.
