Ceuta grapples with aftermath of border surge after most migrants leave the Spanish territory

Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, experienced a border surge with 50,000-60,000 migrants crossing into the territory, leading to at least 72 deaths. Most migrants later returned to Morocco, but the crisis reignited immigration debates in Europe. Far-right politicians and counterprotesters clashed over the situation, while locals disputed the causes of the surge.
