Ceuta migrants strain enclave as Spanish royals visit

King Felipe VI's visit to Ceuta, the first royal visit in nearly two decades, confirms Spain's assertion of sovereignty over its North African enclave amidst an ongoing migrant crisis. This move is assessed to be a deliberate signal of territorial integrity and a response to Morocco's perceived use of migration as a diplomatic lever, with high confidence. The visit is likely to exacerbate existing diplomatic tensions between Spain and Morocco.
