A video circulating on social media reportedly shows a Moroccan village near the border of a Spanish enclave completely deserted, with all residents having left in the direction of the border. The footage is the latest indication of population movement amid ongoing migration waves from North Africa, according to reports.
The video adds to a series of reports that The Zioneer has covered regarding migration from Morocco to the Spanish enclaves, including a mass crossing attempt in late July that saw tens of thousands approach the border and subsequent expulsions by Spanish authorities. The footage's authenticity and exact location have not been independently confirmed. The abandoned village near the border underscores the scale of population movement as many seek entry into Europe.
