Ceuta and Melilla: Potential Shift in Sovereignty by 2030?
In a bold assertion, Spanish intelligence analyst Fernando Cocho suggests that the cities of Ceuta and Melilla may come under shared Spanish-Moroccan sovereignty by the early 2030s. Cocho claims this strategic move has the backing of both the European Union, notably France, and the United States.
The analyst highlights Morocco's gradual economic isolation of these Spanish enclaves, with stricter border controls affecting daily cross-border workers. He points to Morocco's ambition to dominate maritime trade through the Tanger Med port, aiming to export goods worth billions.
Military activities near the Canary Islands, deemed an area of economic interest by Morocco, further underscore these strategic intentions. Cocho warns of the lack of response from the Spanish government regarding these maneuvers, which are reportedly known to the EU.
Documents linked to Morocco’s 2030 plan, involving investments in solar projects and various industries, align with the notion of a "Greater Morocco." Cocho underscores the historical ties of Ceuta and Melilla to Morocco, asserting that their geographical and historical significance supports Morocco’s claim.
The evolving geopolitical landscape suggests a significant shift, with potential implications for regional stability and international relations.
