The two Spanish enclaves located in the farthest region of the Kingdom are being at the center of the fight against terrorism for Spain, according to The Conversation. The latter suggests that the flow of illegal migrants through Morocco is a Major factor leading to the recent attacks that targeted Catalonia.
For the moment some «problems» have prevented the Spanish government from using drones to monitor the borders separating Morocco from Ceuta and Melilla. Instead, the Ministry of Interior satisfied itself with reinforcing the security forces deployed in the area.

Requesting anonymity, they believe that Morocco «has taken the pressure off» with regard to migrants’ flow indicating that «they ignore the reasons behind the anger» of the Moroccan authorities.
