Spain-Morocco tensions flare as 72,000 migrants cross into Ceuta exclave

Geopolitical friction between Madrid and Rabat has escalated into a migration crisis, with 72,000 people illegally entering the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco. The event is widely seen as Morocco using migration as a political tool amid disputes over Western Sahara. The crisis also exposes divisions within the EU, as critics of Spain's recent amnesty for 1.2 million migrants have themselves implemented similar regularization programs.
