  1. Ceuta is in North Africa, not Europe or mainland Spain. Look on the map. This isn't new. This has happened before in 2021 between Spain and Morocco over Algeria and the territory disputes in the West Sahara. Every time Morocco falls out with Spain, they send an influx into Ceuta, just to p*ss off the Spanish government. Ceuta is just a giant fenced off Spanish outpost on the tip of North Africa. There's nothing there, just the town itself. These immigrants have effectively bottled themselves in to an enclave. Even the roads loop around and back into Morocco. That footage is at the Moroccan customs zone at the coast south of Ceuta. There's no where to go after that. Its open ocean. No one is picking them up. They get sent back through that zone when picked up. Its just petty political tactics and rage virus content by the right wing media.

  2. How was this organised and by whom? Seems really fishy that 60,000 men woke up and decided to rush a border in africa (claimed by spain) all at the same time. How was this done? Why is the media not asking this?
