Explained in plain English
What is Ceuta?
Ceuta is one of two Spanish enclaves on the North African coast, sharing a border with Morocco. These territories have a unique status, being geographically in Africa but politically part of Spain and the European Union. This makes them a significant point of entry for migrants hoping to reach Europe, as seen in the recent large influx of people.
