Spain’s Defense Ministry has cancelled all leave and passes for soldiers stationed in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, according to Spanish media reports. Commanders have also been instructed to halt the approval of new leave requests for law enforcement officials in the area. The decision comes as the region experiences heightened migratory pressure, specifically fears of further attempts at mass border crossings from Morocco. Recent estimates indicate approximately 80,000 people attempted to enter Ceuta in late July, straining resources. The move aims to ensure sufficient personnel are available to manage potential surges in migration. Authorities are clearly responding to security concerns stemming from the recent influx and anticipating potential further attempts to breach the border. This preventative measure underscores the sensitivity of the situation in Ceuta.
