On May 17 and 18, 2021, thousands of people illegally crossed the border between Morocco and Ceuta, and entered the Spanish enclave.
Most of them are Moroccans, including a large number of unaccompanied minors.
A few groups of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa are also passing through.
Everyone thinks that this is a gateway to the European continent, but it is disillusionment.
The small town of Ceuta is the scene of the greatest migratory tension in its history, against the backdrop of the diplomatic crisis between Spain and Morocco.
