The Strangest Border Between Countries - The Story of Ceuta and Melilla

We explore why Spain has the cities of Ceuta and Melilla in Morocco and how their history dates back to Portuguese and Spanish conquests. We examine the heavily guarded borders, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the attempts by migrants from Africa to enter Europe through these cities. We also discuss Morocco’s territorial claims, the Western Sahara conflict, and cooperation with the European Union to curb irregular migration.
