The Exodus Message: “The border is open and you can cross it without papers”
A spontaneous outburst on social media is encouraging a migratory rush of tens of thousands of young Moroccans ‘burned’ by the lack of future.
“If you see these stairs, your dream will have come true.” This is a message that was spread this week on TikTok, before being deleted forever, which showed a video with images of Ceuta. Morocco has been closely following the exodus of tens of thousands of young people encouraged by anonymous voices on social media. “I'm desperate, I can't find my place in Morocco.
There's no room here for me. The messages I received on the screen led me to Ceuta, but I had to return,” Ahmed, a 23-year-old unemployed young man, confessed this Saturday in Castillejos. Towards midday on Thursday, the echo of the posts calling him to go to Ceuta resounded on social media. “The Spanish border is open and you can cross without papers,” was the general message received by Ahmed, which mobilized a youth tide along the roads in the north of the Maghrebi country in an unprecedented migratory rush.
