The invasion of Europe is not a metaphor, as the whole world can see.
We have been reporting here on TGP on the absolute catastrophe that is ongoing in the North African Spanish enclave of Ceuta, where tens of thousands of military-age male migrants from Morocco and Algeria have invaded the town.
After local authorities lost control of the situation, Spain is deploying its military in a ‘major security response’.
Officials have confirmed that at least nine people died during the crossings.
Fox News reported:
“The Spanish government said the Armed Forces will support the Civil Guard in restoring order after local officials warned the city could no longer handle the influx. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska are expected to visit Ceuta as Madrid scrambles to contain the crisis.
[…] ‘The situation is absolute chaos’, Rachid Sbihi, who heads an association representing Spain’s Civil Guard officers in Ceuta, told The Associated Press. ‘It’s not possible to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants crossing’.
[…] Authorities have not identified a single cause for the sudden surge, though Ceuta officials have pointed to a recent Spanish Supreme Court ruling that limits the immediate return of migrants who arrive by sea without due process. Some migration advocates, however, questioned whether the ruling alone could explain the dramatic increase, arguing many migrants would likely have been unaware of the decision.”
