A Moroccan minister has ignited a new dispute over the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, located in North Africa, by calling for its “liberation.” Minister Ahmed Toufiq made the statement publicly, and significantly, in the presence of the Moroccan King. This escalates tensions following a July incident where thousands of migrants attempted to breach Ceuta’s borders. The remarks are interpreted as a renewed claim over the territory by Morocco. Ceuta remains on edge following the recent border attempt, highlighting ongoing security concerns. The situation raises questions about the future status of the Spanish territory and the relationship between Spain and Morocco. This development could further strain diplomatic ties between the two countries.
