Morocco deployed additional security measures amid threats of a new possible migrant invasion of Ceuta this weekend, Spanish outlets reported. Over the past days, reports from Spanish law enforcement officials warned that new mass migrant invasion of Ceuta is allegedly being organized and could potentially take place on Saturday, August 15. Similar warnings were reportedly presented to the government of Italy this week through a new Italian intelligence dossier.
The reports reached the same conclusion that a new migrant invasion of the Spanish exclave is allegedly being organized after an extensive analysis of countless messages published on social media platforms and messaging groups calling for a new mass swarming of Ceuta on the 15th. Although the exact size and scope of the prospective invasion could not be ascertained, the reports nevertheless stressed upon that the risk is “real, but its magnitude is uncertain.” Such event, were it to materialize as the reports warned, would occur merely two weeks after tens of thousands of illegal migrants stormed from Morocco into Ceuta. The Spanish exclave is still reeling from the effects of those dramatic events, with thousands of illegal migrants still roaming through its streets and beaches, causing turmoil and disrupting the livelihood of the city’s about 87,000 residents.
