> More than 70,000 people, most of them Moroccans, crossed into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta in a mass migration surge. The movement was driven by economic frustration and amplified through social media. Myriam Cherti, a senior researcher at Oxford University’s Centre on Migration, Policy & Society, discussed the unusual influx of people seeking to cross on Bloomberg This Weekend. The report presents the surge as a sign of pressure in Morocco’s economy.
