Migration crisis in Ceuta: When human misery becomes a diplomatic weapon

Migrants were still trying in vain to reach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on Wednesday, like the thousands of others who entered illegally since Monday from Morocco against whom the European Union has toughened its tone by assuring that it does not would not be “intimidated” on the migration issue. For his part, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez accused Rabat of "defying" Madrid. Since Monday, 8,000 people, an unprecedented figure, have joined Ceuta, taking advantage of a relaxation of border controls on the Moroccan side. This unprecedented wave of migration takes place against the backdrop of the major diplomatic crisis between Madrid and Rabat, which has not abated since the arrival last month in Spain, for treatment, of the leader of the Saharawi separatists of the Polisario Front, sworn enemy of Morocco. .When human misery becomes a diplomatic weapon, back, in images, on this migratory crisis.
