When I first saw the news on 9/11 I was a bit hungover as I'd been out for my birthday. About a week later I started uni. I didn't lose anyone that day, or know anyone who did, but in a weird way 9/11 and it's consequences have been the background to my adult life. Hard to believe it was 25 yrs ago.

As an introvert nerd I'm quite happy at home on my own, but sometimes it's nice to get out, do some shopping and eat tacos

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Map showing the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.

Screengrab from Politico piece that explains, citing Reuters, that 48,300 of the 50,000 recent crossings have already been expelled or voluntarily returned to Morocco.

BBC report on Friday, still echoing the RW disinformation - or at the very least not challengning it sufficiently.

What triggered the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta?

31 July 2026
Spain's prime minister has blamed trafficking gangs after about 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. At least 57 people died during the surge, according to local media."

Daily Mail and Daily Express from this weekend, with front page headlines "Ministers MUST stop the Spanish border invaders reaching UK" and "SPANISH BORDER CRISIS IS 'WAKE-UP CALL' FOR UK", respectively.

Found these maps on my last archive visit, I've seen lots of maps showing the back and forth of the fighting in North Africa but never seen any like this before, I think they're pretty effective, from WO 201/2889 if you want a look yourself.

Page titled 'Ebb and Flow of the North Africa Campaigns 1940-1943', with eight small maps showing Egypt and Libya, and then Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria for various dates/campaigns showing the movements of the Axis forces in grey and British forces in red, between 1940 and 1943.
