Migration: Despite online calls, no new influx in Ceuta
After calls on the internet for a new wave of migrants to storm Ceuta, alarm bells are ringing in Spain and Morocco. However, the feared chaos does not materialize. And there are explanations for this.
A feared new influx of migrants to the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta did not materialize over the weekend. Despite online calls to mass-cross the border, the situation remained calm after Spain and Morocco significantly increased security measures. Around 300 migrants were stopped by security forces near the Moroccan border town of Fnideq, but this was described as a normal occurrence.
The calm situation was attributed to Morocco's enhanced security presence, with many migrants deterred from attempting to cross into Spain.
