At the edge of Europe and Africa, where the Mediterranean narrows into a corridor of desperate crossings, Spain has sent its military into Ceuta — a small enclave carrying an outsized burden in the continent's long reckoning with migration. The deployment signals not a new crisis but the latest chapter in a story driven by poverty, conflict, and the human will to seek safer ground. How Europe responds — with walls or with welcome — remains one of the defining moral questions of this era.
