Many people might be surprised to learn that part of Spain is not on the Iberian Peninsula but is instead in North Africa. The city of Ceuta is a Spanish “exclave” and would otherwise be part of Morocco, from which the city of 85,000 is separated and secured by a high double fence with barbed wire.
Last Wednesday, Spanish troops were deployed to deal with a sudden surge of migrants who, encouraged by Morocco loosening its border controls, breached fences or swam into Spanish territory.
Several thousand persons attempt to enter Ceuta each year, but, in this case, some 8,000 attempted to enter over two days. At least half of them have thus far been returned to Morocco.
Morocco recently has been roiled by internal unrest, as a pro-independence group has become more active, staging protests, blocking roads, and clashing with Moroccan troops.
TREND FORECAST: This comes as no surprise to Trends Journal subscribers. As we have forecast, the COVID War launched by the mainstream media and politicians has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions – possibly billions – of people across the globe. With poverty, government corruption, crime, and violence increasing – even before the COVID War was launched – we had forecast a great exodus of millions from affected nations into safe-haven countries.
The Trends Journal has reported on Morocco’s unrest (see our 10 November 2020 article, “MOROCCO CLASHES WITH FIGHTERS AFTER 30 YEARS OF RELATIVE PEACE.”) In that article, we forecast:
As nations across Africa sink deeper into the “Greatest Depression,” protests, demonstrations, and riots will escalate with civil wars spreading into regional wars. Millions will seek migration to safe-haven nations, which will, in turn, accelerate populist movements, particularly across Europe.
