A surge in social media activity is raising concerns of a new wave of attempted mass migration into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The activity centers around false claims of the border crossing being opened, prompting calls for migrants to attempt entry. Both Moroccan and Spanish authorities are responding by bolstering security forces around Ceuta and Melilla. This increased security is a direct response to fears of a repeat of the recent migration crisis seen two weeks prior. Officials are working to counter the disinformation campaign and prevent further attempts to breach the border. The situation remains tense as authorities monitor social media and reinforce their presence. This builds on existing tensions regarding border control and migration between Spain and Morocco.
