The Hebrew-language outlet Abu Ali Express reports that a Moroccan crowd marched through the streets of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on Sunday, chanting 'Allahu Akbar.' The report comes as Ceuta remains the focus of a major migration crisis, with tens of thousands of Moroccan migrants having entered the city in recent days, according to earlier reports.
According to a report from the Hebrew-language outlet Abu Ali Express, a crowd of Moroccan nationals marched through the streets of Ceuta on Sunday, August 2, chanting 'Allahu Akbar.' The report did not specify the size of the crowd or the reason for the gathering.
The incident occurred amid the broader migration crisis in Ceuta, which The Zioneer has covered extensively. As previously reported, tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave since late July, prompting a severe strain on local infrastructure and security forces. Spanish authorities have been conducting repatriations, while the Moroccan army has been reported to welcome returning migrants. The situation remains volatile.
