Moroccan “Migrants” Besiege Ceuta, Spain; Authorities Won’t Declare Emergency
Thousands of Moroccan Muslims have invaded Spain.
The army of criminal “migrants” stormed a border fence that separates Ceuta, a Spanish outpost in North Africa, from Morocco.
The Spanish regime said it could not declare an emergency just because of “migration.” Whether the regime will do anything to repel what might be an invasion of the mainland is unclear.
The scene is reminiscent of what has befallen the hapless Italians who lived on the isle of Lampedusa, another target for “migrant” invasion by “non-governmental organizations,” which just happen to be funded by governments, meaning European taxpayers.
Sorry, Don’t Call 911
Video of the invasion posted to X showed the “migrants” a streaming into Ceuta and swarming across its hills like a voracious colony of angry, marauding army ants. Ceuta’s coast is on the Alboran Sea, the westernmost waters of the Mediterranean, about 18 miles across the Strait of Gibraltar from mainland Spain.
Authorities in Madrid aren’t concerned, apparently. No need to call 911. A Muslim invasion is nothing much to worry about.
“Spain’s interior ministry said it would guarantee the safety of citizens and the integrity of the nation’s border, but that the government could not declare a national emergency over migration concerns,” The Associated Press reported.
But “migration” doesn’t describe what’s happening there, as AP’s report confirms:
“The situation is absolute chaos,” said Rachid Sbihi, head of the association that represents Spain’s Civil Guard officers in Ceuta, who police the border. “It’s not possible to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants crossing,” he said, adding that the border had “totally collapsed.”
Achraf Maimouni, a member of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights in northern Morocco, described the situation as “exceptional.”
“The Tarajal border was opened under unusual circumstances this morning and people crossed,” he said.
The invasion began yesterday by sea. Many of the Islamic invaders attempted to swim to the Spanish enclave.
AP also reported that Spain and Morocco are “closely cooperating” to stem the rush to the border, noting that “Moroccan police are stopping ‘numerous people’” attempting to enter the Spanish colony.
“The scenes of people streaming across the frontier recall the border crisis of May 2021 when more than 8,000 migrants poured into Ceuta in just two days,” the wire service continued:
Juan Jesús Vivas, the head of Ceuta’s regional government, called for the national government to declare a national emergency on grounds of national security, asking for more police and for the army to be deployed on the border.
Vivas said the additional police and soldiers would be necessary “to guarantee the inviolability of the frontier and citizen safety.”
He had warned on Wednesday that migrant reception centers were overwhelmed with hundreds of people sleeping on the streets after more than 1,500 migrants entered the territory in the past week. But thousands more crossed overnight and Thursday.
Some 3,000 “migrants” have invaded Ceuta since July 15.
Criminals Pardoned
The invasion coincides with King Mohammed VI’s pardon of 1,788 criminals yesterday to commemorate Throne Day, a public holiday that recalls Mohammed V’s accession to the throne in 1927.
Morocco’s Ministry of Justice said that “among the beneficiaries, 1,679 are inmates,” Middle East Online reported:
Nine received a pardon for the remainder of their sentence, while 1,668 received a sentence reduction. One inmate had his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment, and another had his life sentence converted to a fixed term. These measures reflect a desire to humanize the justice system and support social reintegration.
The royal pardon also concerned 109 people at liberty. Forty-one benefited from a pardon on their prison sentence or its remainder, ten had their prison sentence maintained but the fine retained, fifty-two obtained a pardon on their fine sentence, and six benefited from a pardon on their prison sentence and fine.
How many of those criminals are in the invasion force is unknown.
The siege of Ceuta — an Spanish possession since 1688 when Portugal’s King Afonso VI ceded it to Spain’s King Carlos II — reprises the invasion of Italy’s Lampedusa, once a Mediterranean tourist spot, but now a stop for invading “migrants” on their way to colonize Europe.
That Camp of the Saints invasion from Tunisia began about 15 years ago, as The New American reported.
Africans quickly overwhelmed the tiny isle about 127 miles southwest of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea, and soon outnumbered residents. Some 9,000 Libyans had invaded by June 2011. By September, the Tunisians were setting fires and otherwise trashing the island, battling Italian cops.
That invasion continues.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says 14,388 “migrants” have besieged Italy this year, with 56 percent landing on Lampedusa, The Dispatch reported.
The website also disclosed that “migrant” invaders are coming from as far as Bangladesh:
Since January, Libya has remained the main country of departure, accounting for 83% of migrant landings in Italy. Algeria and Tunisia together accounted for a further 8%.
The UNHCR said that, between January and June, migrants from Bangladesh made up 30% of arrivals, followed by Somalia at 11% and Sudan at 10%.
The agency also reported that unaccompanied minors represented 19% of all sea arrivals during the first half of the year.
Between January and June 2026, 22% of people arriving by sea were rescued in the Mediterranean by non-governmental organisations, according to the UNHCR.
