Morocco Imposes a Law of Silence on the “Drama” of the Dozens of Deaths at the Border
Only a handful of progressive media outlets and parties dare to question the official information blackout while the debate over the sovereignty of Ceuta and Melilla grows.
The Moroccan Government remains silent on the irruption of tens of thousands of irregular young migrants in Ceuta three days after the outbreak of the biggest bilateral conflict since the Perejil island crisis in 2002. Neither the head of the Rabat Government, nor the Foreign Ministry, nor the Interior Department have said a word about the death of more than 70 people who drowned or the overflow of the Castillejos border with the Spanish autonomous city, before the impassive gaze of the security forces of the Maghrebi country.
Only left-wing political forces and some progressive media have dared to break the silence in the face of the drama lived in the rough waters and the wired breakwater of Tarajal, the dividing line with the European Union in the north of the African continent.
