Ceuta: Five Hundred Years, One Week
from The Delve
Sixty thousand people crossed into Ceuta in a matter of days. At least eighty-eight died trying. Reporting from Morocco, Chalin traces what actually happened at Spain's five-hundred-year-old African enclave — the policy signal from Madrid, the history nobody talks about, and what it means that a modest garrison built to hold a fence line couldn't hold a fence line. Plus: Spain's own government points fingers everywhere but at itself, and a preview of what's coming next on The Delve.
