Ceuta Border Shock: Tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta in a 24-hour surge, with reports of at least 57–67 deaths as people swam around the breakwater and some were killed in drowning and crushes; Spain rushed troops, drones and police to restore order while officials said most arrivals were later returned to Morocco. EU Fallout: France and Italy tightened border controls; Italy suspended Schengen arrangements with Spain for a month, while EU leaders pushed for emergency talks and Ursula von der Leyen said the EU had offered help “from the first moment” and that “not a single person” reached mainland Spain or the rest of the EU. Politics and Blame: Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez called it an “attack” on territorial integrity and blamed trafficking networks and misinformation, as social media rumors and economic hardship were cited as drivers; the crisis also sparked a Spain–Israel spat over “colonial enclaves.” Western Sahara Angle: In a separate development, Trump reaffirmed U.S. recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara and backed Morocco’s autonomy plan, adding fresh diplomatic weight to the region’s already tense politics. Sahrawi Summer in Italy: Italy’s Parliament hosted a reception for Sahrawi children in the “Holidays in Peace” program, highlighting continued international attention on the Western Sahara cause.
