Last update: 3 hours agoCeuta crisis aftershocks: More than a week after tens of thousands of migrants surged from Morocco into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta, residents say the situation is still not normal, with thousands remaining and fears of another rush. Human cost at the border: Spain reported about 72,000 arrivals and dozens of deaths during the July 30–31 crossing; a Moroccan rights group put the toll higher, as people swam around fences and some drowned. EU politics and Schengen pressure: EU interior ministers met after days of blame-shifting, while Italy and others pushed tougher border moves and Schengen suspensions—despite Ceuta being outside the passport-free zone. Western Sahara diplomacy link: The same week, Colombia’s new government recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, adding to the diplomatic momentum around Rabat’s claims. US–Morocco influence: Morocco’s Throne Day celebrations with US officials and reports of US backing for Morocco’s Western Sahara position kept the spotlight on how geopolitics may intersect with the Ceuta fallout. Travel & solidarity angle: Italy’s Florence and French towns hosted Sahrawi children in “Vacations in Peace” programs, underscoring how tourism-style hospitality remains tied to Western Sahara advocacy.
