The Real Migrant Crisis in Ceuta

from Ave Maria in the Afternoon Segments · host Dr. Marcus Peter

The images circled the globe and generated debate, memes and disinformation. Tens of thousands of young men flooded the Spanish African city of Ceuta on the Moroccan coast.

We talk about it with Alberto Fernandez.Further ReadingThe Hidden Story Behind the Ceuta Migrant CrisisGuest InfoAmbassador Alberto M.
