Summary
Thousands flooded into Spain’s Ceuta enclave from Morocco, triggering a chaotic migrant crisis that left 34 dead and strained EU relations. With 60,000 crossing—many swimming perilously over the border—Spain deployed troops and police, while Germany, Italy, and Finland voiced alarm. France stepped up border checks, and locals watched in shock as women and children arrived, some abandoning their flimsy rafts. Around 25,000 returned voluntarily, though motives remain murky—possibly stirred by false rumors. The EU called the influx unacceptable, with Italy even suggesting Spain be suspended from Schengen, exposing the deepening tensions over migration and border control in Europe.
