Contrary to Spanish propaganda that goes to great lengths to deny its Moroccan character, the city of Sebta was administered by the Moroccan state, founded by the Idrisid dynasty, for more than six centuries. History provides the proof.

After calling for Morocco’s “political and economic destruction” on Cuatro, Taleb Alisalem returned to Spanish television with an even graver charge, accusing the Kingdom of “genocide” on Antena 3. Maghreb and Sahel specialist Beatriz Mesa challenged his narrative, but the channel allowed the allegation to stand without demanding evidence to substantiate it.

Spanish broadcaster COPE gave more than 20 minutes of airtime to historian and Popular Party councilor Margarita Torres, who claimed that the Kingdom of Morocco did not exist before 1957. This claim contradicts historical records showing Spain had signed treaties with Moroccan sultans centuries earlier.

Moroccan security forces prevented collective attempts to cross irregularly into Ceuta and Melilla on Saturday morning, following days of heightened security prompted by viral online calls for mass crossings on Aug. 15. Authorities intercepted 111 would-be migrants near Fnideq, while 61 people have been arrested in recent days on suspicion of promoting irregular migration online.

The Spanish government says it is working with Morocco to reunite minors identified in Ceuta with their families in the Kingdom, with 1,527 identified so far. Presidency and Justice Minister Félix Bolaños described family reunification as a priority after Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares again highlighted Rabat’s willingness to facilitate returns.

The digital campaign orchestrated through Algerian phone lines that drove thousands of young people toward Ceuta could resume between August 13 and 15.

“Morocco has committed, in line with the High Royal Instructions issued to the ministries of the Interior and the Foreign Affairs, to identifying unaccompanied minors to facilitate their return to their homeland,” according to a Moroccan diplomatic source.

A rigorous analysis conducted by terrorism expert José María Gil Garre sheds new light on the true nature of the recent crisis at the borders of Ceuta and Melilla. Far from being a spontaneous wave of migration, last week’s assault appears to have been orchestrated from a digital command node based in Algeria, which methodically exploited an ecosystem of social media platforms. The details.

Believing they were setting out toward a better future, the thousands of young people who forced their way into Ceuta ultimately brought about, unwittingly, the collapse of a powerful illusion. Confronted firsthand with the precarious reality of the occupied enclave and the dead end of a continent in crisis, 95% of them spontaneously chose to turn back. By shattering the European fantasy through direct contact with reality, this mass crossing paradoxically demonstrated a fundamental truth: the mirage of the European Eldorado has faded, and the real opportunities lie at home.
