Ceuta Crisis and Morocco’s Role | Morocco News

Over 70,000 migrants surged into Spain’s North African enclave Ceuta in just two days, sparking chaos, drownings, and political firestorms. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez denies Morocco orchestrated the influx, despite evidence suggesting Moroccan forces were “totally permissive” — even possibly guiding people toward the water. In a bold move, Spain asked King Felipe VI to visit Ceuta and Melilla, a diplomatic gambit that stirs old tensions with Morocco over territorial claims. As thousands remain stranded and protests erupt across Spain, critics accuse Sanchez of weakness, while analysts link the migrant wave to Spain’s recent shift on Western Sahara. Sanchez stands firm: Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish forever — and need more state support — turning this crisis into a high-stakes geopolitical chess match on the Mediterranean.
