During recent days, the city of Ceuta, occupied by Spain, experienced an unprecedented migration wave, with approximately 49,000 Moroccan migrants crossing the border within 24 hours—almost half the city's population. In just two days, the total number of arrivals exceeded the city's entire population. Thousands of migrants were filmed climbing the fences and attempting to cross the sea, with at least 18 reported drownings during these attempts. Spanish authorities announced increased military presence to support Civil Guard forces, and accused human trafficking networks of exploiting a judicial ruling that prevents the immediate repatriation of migrants to Morocco, which has contributed to heightened irregular migration. The origins of Ceuta and Melilla's settlement date back to Portuguese occupation in 1415, followed by Spanish control after treaties and historical changes. Morocco continues to claim sovereignty over both cities, viewing them as remaining outposts of Spanish colonialism. These two cities remain subjects of political and historical dispute, raising complex border and sovereignty issues, especially amid ongoing tensions surrounding jurisdiction and migration.
