#2Moroccan government is doing this on purpose and they are not probably the only country doing it.

#3This article seems very one-sided, as do many others I looked through. The 'why' of people trying to cross seems to be totally ignored.
Very low quality sources say things like:
- The police are shipping people to the border
- These are all criminals that the police are letting get away so they don't have to deal with them
- People are fleeing the absolute monarchy and poor economic conditions
If anyone has any high quality sources about the above please post them!

#4On some of the videos it looked like a lot of the people came just in swim shorts and without a T-shirt. I can imagine if I was a teenager at the border and an opportunity came to check out Ceuta, I would also jump in. Fits also with the fact that about half of the people who crossed the border have already returned.

#5Weird how these streams of immigrants are always young men, and almost never families or groups of women and children actually fleeing some real war or oppression.

#6Those images and videos are fuel to get a fascist elected. There must be something coordinated for that many at once.

This is one is a better article:
"Spain says huge surge across border into enclave has reversed" - https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/spain-morocco-halt-dead...
The context is that could not happen without the cooperation and orchestration by the Moroccan government, and its a kind of warning. Its a warning on recent warm up of relations of Spain with Algeria [2]. Something that is of great strategic concern due to historical disputes over the Western Sahara. [1]
The Spanish prime minister of course is totally compromised, and weak in all fronts.
His wife will stand trial for corruption [3] and he had to cynically support a measure to do regularization program for undocumented migrants that could get up to 1 million getting regular papers. Independently of the merits or not of the program, he did this agreement with the left-wing party Podemos in January 2026. Sánchez leads a minority government and depends on smaller parties for parliamentary support, so reaching deals with Podemos basically allowed him to continue in government.
