- 2:14So, guys, heading to Ceuta right now.
- 2:17Several days ago, almost 50,000 Moroccans
- 2:20illegally crossed the Spanish border there.
- 2:23How the hell could this happen?
- 2:24Would you ask yourself?
- 2:26And how's the situation right now?
- 2:28Because according to mainstream media, for example,
- 2:30in my own country, NOS the situation is as good as solved.
- 2:35And almost every illegal Moroccan
- 2:37has been sent back to Morocco.
- 2:40Yeah, let's check it out ourselves.
- 2:43Let's do some real journalism.
- 2:44Boots on the ground.
- 2:46Vamos.
- 2:52So, guys, right now at the border between Spain
- 2:56and Morocco, and this, is the exact place where
- 3:00it all took off Several days ago, the 13th of
- 3:03July and the 31st of July, in total, 60,000
- 3:08Moroccans approximately entered, this piece of
- 3:13Spain.
- 3:13And according to the guys we just spoke
- 3:16to the Moroccan guards, the Moroccan government
- 3:19basically told him, literally, enter, vamos, go
- 3:22to Spain with no restrictions whatsoever.
- 3:26So, as you can see, there are people diving there.
- 3:29And it's not recreational diving,
- 3:31but those people are actually looking
- 3:33for bodies, bodies of diseased people.
- 3:36Because when those guys, those
- 3:38Moroccan guys tried to cross the border,
- 3:41not every one of them made it.
- 3:43Approximately 60, 70 people died during that try.
- 3:48And basically they divers, the divers
- 3:51there are looking for bodies right now.
- 3:54As you can see, a shoe there, Lost by a guy
- 4:01trying to make his way over here.

- 8:12Police is driving by right now behind me.
- 8:16They're all shouting at police, viva Espana.
- 8:20And, police is driving by.
- 8:24Unless the fact that all those people, and they're
- 8:26all honest about it, illegally crossed the border.
- 8:30So what has been told to these people, that
- 8:34all these people came at one time to Spain?
- 8:37What has promised to those people?
- 8:40One thing I have to mention, you, only
- 8:44see men, young men, some lost woman.

- 8:56Yeah.
- 8:56Okay.
- 8:58Yes.
- 8:59Okay.
- 9:00Good guys.
- 9:01Good guys.
- 9:03Okay.
- 9:03Okay.
- 9:03Okay.
- 9:04Good guys.
- 9:04Okay.
- 9:05Hello, mate.
- 9:05Nice to meet you.
- 9:06What's your name?
- 9:07My name is.
- 9:09Yep.
- 9:10What's yours?
- 9:11My name is May.
- 9:12Ishmael Mohammed.
- 9:16My name is Tom.
- 9:16Nice to meet you guys.
- 9:18You speak English?
- 9:18A little bit, yeah.
- 9:21No, it's English.
- 9:21I don't speak Arabic, but I cannot speak.
- 9:23Hey, you came here several days ago.
- 9:26You came here by swimming.
- 9:28Swimming.
- 9:31That's a whore.
- 9:32Okay, police.
- 9:37Police.
- 9:37Dorme.
- 9:38So basically he is saying, police was sleeping.
- 9:42Police just let them through.
- 9:44Moroccan police encouraged
- 9:45those guys to come to Spain.
- 9:47Vamos, vamos.
- 9:48And Spanish police encouraged these guys to come.
- 9:52And these guys even have the swimming.
- 9:54Swimming suit.
- 9:55You came by that you swam to swim.
- 10:01Five hours by.
- 10:01By swimming.
- 10:02Five hours swimming.
- 10:03Five hours streaming.
- 10:04Five hours swimming.
- 10:05Yeah.
- 10:05Okay.
- 10:06Possible strong arms.
- 10:08Okay, guys, thank you very much.
- 10:11Respect to you.
- 10:12You are very respectful to me.
- 10:15Then you have respect back.
- 10:16Good guys.
- 10:17To be fair, guys, can you actually blame
- 10:22those kids, those guys for coming here?
- 10:27I don't think you can blame them for trying.
- 10:29Because if there are no jobs in Morocco, if
- 10:32there is less money in Morocco, if there
- 10:35is just economically a, worse situation or
- 10:40not as good as in Spain and the rest of
- 10:42Europe, can you blame those guys for
- 10:44coming?
- 10:45I don't think you can.
- 10:47I think, and don't get me wrong,
- 10:49if you are a hostile person, you come here,
- 10:51you do burglaries, you do rip offs, you do.
- 10:55Hello, guys.
- 10:56You do illegal stuff.
- 10:57You should off straight away.
- 10:59But if you're just being who you are,
- 11:01yeah, you cannot blame those guys.
- 11:03And apparently Morocco opened his doors
- 11:06five days ago, and Spain also opened
- 11:10his doors so this was no incident, guys.
- 11:12And about the numbers, I'm walking here for one
- 11:14hour right now, and I see big groups of only men,
- 11:19by the way, Big groups of men everywhere.
- 11:21So the statement that only 1300, according
- 11:26to the mainstream media, my
- 11:27country nos were left here is total.
- 11:32And we're not done yet.
- 11:33We're not done yet.
- 11:33We're walking here for half an hour.
- 11:35An hour.
- 11:35It's completely, completely false.
- 11:38What's your name?
- 11:40What's your name?
- 11:40Ahmed.
- 11:41Ahmed.
- 11:43My name is Ahmed.
- 11:44Ahmed.
- 11:44Ahmed.
- 11:44Ahmed.
- 11:45That's easy.
- 11:50My name is Tom.
- 11:51Nice to meet you.
- 11:52Hey, guys.
- 11:52So our plan is going to Morocco,
- 11:55to Madrid, Barcelona, France.
- 12:07What do you think?
- 12:08How many.
- 12:09You have to translate.
- 12:10How many people of you crossing
- 12:12the border are still here in Quetta?
- 12:2610,000 at least, says Mill.
- 12:316,000.
- 12:316,000.
- 12:326, thousand.
- 12:326,000 still here.
- 12:356,000, yes.
- 12:36And, can the police force you
- 12:38to go back to Morocco?
- 12:42They only talk, they only advice.
- 12:44Only advice.
- 12:45When you entered, the Moroccan
- 12:47military said, go, go, go, go, go.
- 12:50They let you go.
- 12:51And I want to ask what the Spanish military did.
- 12:57Espana.
- 12:58Espana said, come, Espana, come,
- 13:02come, come, come, come, come, come.
- 13:05You have to go.
- 13:11And when military drives,
- 13:16get it getting out of the way.
- 13:17So if they would get out, you
- 13:18would hide, you would go.
- 13:20Thank you very much.
- 13:21Have a nice day.
- 13:22Yes.
- 13:22Bye.
- 13:23Bye.
- 13:23Bye.
- 13:23So even they are confirming that 1000
- 13:28is totally inaccurate, is totally false,
- 13:31doesn't add up with the real numbers.
- 13:33They are talking about
- 13:3510,000, 15,000 approximately.
- 13:38So several years ago, there was another attempt
- 13:40to enter Spanish ground by Moroccans.
- 13:43And that time they didn't do it by sea,
- 13:45but they did it by climbing this big fence.
- 13:49But then several years ago, the numbers were
- 13:53way lower than right now, because Right now
- 13:57approximately 60,000 Moroccans entered Spain.
- 14:02And of course, a portion of that
- 14:04already returned because of the military,
- 14:07but a big portion is still here.
- 14:10A big percentage of those illegal crossing
- 14:13ones are still here on Spanish territory.
- 14:17And according to mainstream media, according
- 14:19to our own mainstream media In Holland, the
- 14:21nos, we talk about 2 to 3%, but that's simply
- 14:25not true because again, we are walking here
- 14:28for one hour, one and a half hours right now,
- 14:31and we were meeting group after group, big
- 14:33group after big group, only men and women, I
- 14:37guess there are way more guys that we didn't
- 14:40even see.
- 14:40So literally 50 meters from here, 100 meters,
- 14:43you see Morocco on, the other side of the fence.
- 14:46You see the big wall here.
- 14:48You can see it better here.
- 14:50And we are in Spain.
- 14:52So imagine, guys, only a small fraction
- 14:56of illegal cross ones are still here.
- 14:59Well, open your eyes, guys.
- 15:02Open your eyes.
- 15:06Look there.
- 15:07Open your.
- 15:09Yeah, yeah.
- 15:10They're everywhere, mate.
- 15:11So far, the information
- 15:12that almost everyone went back to Morocco.

- 15:42You need to.
- 15:43To learn Spanish here.
- 15:46You need to learn Spanish.

- 21:21Hello, guys.
- 21:22Give you a short impression.
- 21:24All of this beach is full.
- 21:28Full of migrants.
- 21:32Look at it.
- 21:32Hello, mate.
- 21:33Good, good.

- 21:42Thousands of people here.
- 21:44Thousands of people here.
- 21:47They are waiting in line for food.
- 21:50And the majority is just stranded here.
- 21:57Stranded here.
- 21:59Some people praying here, there.
- 22:01In the row.
- 22:09So nos, Dutch, mainstream media.
- 22:15Almost everyone was back to Morocco.
- 22:18No, Tell me how.
- 22:22How the.
- 22:24Can you explain this?
- 22:30Senegal.
- 22:32Senegal.
- 22:34I see you in Rome in a few months.
- 22:35Okay?
- 22:38Do you have an explanation for this?
- 22:41Tell me, did you go here?
- 22:43Did you check it out?
- 22:44I guess you didn't.
- 22:45I guess you didn't.
- 22:47Look at it.
- 22:48Thousands and thousands of men sitting here.
- 22:53Hello, mate.
- 22:54Sitting here waiting to.
- 23:00Waiting to go to Europe and to continue
- 23:04to other European countries.
- 23:07Hello, guys.
- 23:07Hello.
- 23:08Hello.
- 23:08Hello.
- 23:08Hello.
- 23:09Hello.
- 23:09Hello.
- 23:11So I'm gonna ask again.
- 23:12Does this look mainstream media,
- 23:15like the situation has been solved?
- 23:18Maybe, maybe, just maybe, we
- 23:20have other standards possible.
- 23:23But this part of Sieta, thousands
- 23:28and Thousands of men here, Africa.
- 23:31Men waiting to continue that journey
- 23:36through Europe, basically through Europe.
- 23:39Hello, guys.
- 23:40It's sad to see, isn't it?
- 23:42It is sad to see.
- 23:43And seriously, could you blame
- 23:46these guys for trying?
- 23:48I think you cannot blame those guys here
- 23:51sitting in front of me, Sudan
- 23:53sitting in front of me for trying.
- 23:55I think you cannot blame them.
- 23:57But what I do think is that you, as
- 23:59mainstream media, have a responsibility
- 24:02to give the honest truth about what's happening
- 24:04in this case in Cueta, in Spain.
- 24:06Because what you are telling us,
- 24:09that it's all been solved.
- 24:11Almost everyone is back.
- 24:12It's a lie.
- 24:14It's just a lie.
- 24:15Look at it, guys.
- 24:16The footage speaks for itself.
- 24:20Police is coming right now.
- 24:22The military driving them away.
- 24:26I don't know exactly why, but one
- 24:28thing is for sure, this place is.
- 24:32Hello, mate.
- 24:32Nice to meet you.
- 24:33Nice to meet you.
- 24:34This place is full, full, full of illegal
- 24:40migrants crossed the border several days ago.
- 24:43And I think the Spanish police
- 24:45don't have a clue what to do with it.
- 24:48But be honest, don't lie about the numbers.
- 24:51Look at this.
- 24:53I used to watch your videos.
- 24:55My videos?
- 24:56Where are you from, brother?
- 24:57Australia, from?
- 25:00Okay, you watch my videos.
- 25:01Thank you very much.
- 25:02I really appreciate it.
- 25:03Nice to meet you, mate.
- 25:04Nice to meet you.
- 25:07It is absolute mayhem, out here.
- 25:11Sorry, mate.
- 25:12Absolute mayhem.
- 25:16There's another one trying to cross.
- 25:18Police demanding him back.
- 25:20But eventually he walks
- 25:22in the sea and, yeah, he leaves him.
- 25:26What an absurd situation this is, guys.
- 25:29Another one there with a back in the sea.
- 25:32I hope the camera does any justice.
- 25:33Do it.
- 25:34And I think the police officer isn't,
- 25:35even going to try it anymore.
- 25:37It just lets him pass.
- 25:39What the hell is this?
- 25:42So, guys, what we just saw was total
- 25:44madness, totally out of control.
- 25:47Thousands and thousands of migrants
- 25:50stranded on the beach.
- 25:51And the police, basically
- 25:53don't know what to do with it.
- 25:55They just don't have it under control.
- 25:58It's.
- 25:59It's a mess.
- 26:00It's a mess.
- 26:01So for every medium, for every platform that tries
- 26:05to tell you that the situation here in Sieta is
- 26:09totally under control, it's just an outblount lie.
- 26:13It is not.
- 26:20Police switching these guys away as well right now.
- 26:34Look behind you, behind you.
- 26:38What are your orders?
- 26:39To keep them here or.
- 26:40I cannot believe.
- 26:42You were very kind to us.
- 26:44Thank you very much.
- 26:45See, police is trying to drive them away.
- 26:49As soon as police approaches, they
- 26:51leave to another spot.
- 26:52But to be fair, police doesn't
- 26:55have this under control at all.
- 26:56No, no.
- 26:57According to the Media?
- 26:58Yes, according to the media, it's all controlled.
- 27:02According to the media is all controlled.
- 27:04But according to reality, we've seen
- 27:06that it's not under control.
- 27:07It's totally not.
- 27:08And imagine on this beach here are, a thousand,
- 27:11maybe fifteen hundred illegal ones sitting.
- 27:14But this is just a small piece of Kieta.
- 27:17It's a very small beach.
- 27:23You have to wait until the police
- 27:25decides to do anything.
- 27:28The police cannot send you back.
- 27:30No, no, you don't believe.
- 27:32It's just patient here.
- 27:33And maybe you are praying God.
- 27:35Maybe their decision will be favorous.
- 27:39The decision by the Spanish government you made.
- 27:42That's what we wish.
- 27:44How long is that going to take?
- 27:45Because you're here for five days right now.
- 27:47You don't know.
- 27:48Just the patience.
- 27:49Don't question.
- 27:57So, guys, we're driving here now
- 28:00in another area of Sieta Sueta.
- 28:03And to be fair, it feels tense here.
- 28:06Yeah, we don't feel secure here.
- 28:08We feel like something is going
- 28:09to happen at any moment.
- 28:11So the moment we try to film something.
- 28:14Look, people are shouting.
- 28:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 28:18Look at this.
- 28:19We're just driving by and try
- 28:21to record as much as possible.
- 28:22But what is this?
- 28:27Hell, look at this.
- 28:31People.
- 28:33So many people here stranded.
- 28:37See, the beach is full.
- 28:38The beach is full.
- 28:40And it's not full with tours,
- 28:42it's full with immigrants.
- 28:44Guys, that's crazy.
- 28:46Look at it.
- 28:47Look how many.
- 28:50Look at it.
- 28:51Guys.
- 28:51What is this?
- 28:52What the.
- 28:53Let's get out here.
- 28:54Yeah, let's get out here.
- 28:55Yeah, let's park.
- 28:56You see all people gathering there
- 29:00and just one little supermarket, basically.
- 29:04Oh, they are in the trucks.
- 29:05Oh, yeah.
- 29:12So, had a nice evening in and,
- 29:17to be fair, in the city center, it is.
- 29:20Hello, guys.
- 29:22Hello.
- 29:22Can I ask you something, guys?
- 29:24Can I ask.
- 29:25I think I know you.
- 29:26I see your Instagram, like.
- 29:28Hold it, hold it, hold.
- 29:30Possible.
- 29:32What's your name?
- 29:32Rock.
- 29:33Rock.
- 29:34Nice to meet you both.
- 29:37You.
- 29:40My name is Tom.
- 29:41Nice to meet you guys.
- 29:42I have a question.
- 29:43What do you think of the situation going on here?
- 29:47The situation going on, because it's.
- 29:50It's delicate, isn't it?
- 29:52It's, all over the news, all over the media.
- 29:55What are your views on it?
- 29:56I think, there was a miscommunication
- 30:00from, you know, from the people of Merkel.
- 30:02Like they think, they can come here,
- 30:05they can come in, maybe there's house,
- 30:07job and stuff waiting for them and.
- 30:09Yeah, Miscommunication by the Moroccan government.
- 30:12No, I think it's, like,
- 30:14Their family misleading them.
- 30:16Okay.
- 30:16It's not about government.
- 30:17Why would their, family mislead them?
- 30:19Because they think when they go, when they come
- 30:22here, they can make money for them.
- 30:23Yeah, they can make money for them.
- 30:25It's all about it.
- 30:25Okay.
- 30:26And it's all about family, you know.
- 30:28Sure.
- 30:28The pressure that comes from it.
- 30:30Yeah.
- 30:30Okay.
- 30:30And what is the solution now?
- 30:32Because there are many.
- 30:35No, the solution is for them
- 30:36to go back home and repackage.
- 30:38You think they do that?
- 30:40Maybe.
- 30:40Inshallah.
- 30:43If it happens, if it happens here,
- 30:45everybody has a second opportunity.
- 30:49Can you also imagine it's hard for,
- 30:51Spanish local people here to cope with this?
- 30:54Because this village only has city.
- 30:56Only has like 80, 000 residents, I think.
- 31:00And then four days ago, 60,000
- 31:03illegal ones are coming here.
- 31:05Okay.
- 31:05And now still there are,
- 31:0715 to 20,000 illegal ones remaining
- 31:10in the mountains, in the, on the highway.
- 31:12And nice to meet you guys, your residents here.
- 31:14What do you think of this situation?
- 31:16To be stable, you know, lacks authority.
- 31:19Authority.
- 31:19Yeah, authority and security in the borders.
- 31:22We feel like the government has abandoned us.
- 31:24We don't feel safe.
- 31:25We feel almost betrayed, you know?
- 31:27And it's not the first time it happened.
- 31:29It also happened five years ago.
- 31:30Yeah.
- 31:30But right now it has been like
- 31:3210x, you know, way more.
- 31:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 31:35I have been told by those guys,
- 31:38those guys who illegally entered your country.
- 31:41Spain.
- 31:42Yes.
- 31:42That Morocco opened its doors.
- 31:44Yes.
- 31:45And after that the Spanish police
- 31:46and military said come, come.
- 31:48Because they did nothing, nada.
- 31:52The moment they, they get through, it's illegal
- 31:54for us to like to deport them again.
- 31:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 31:58If they're minors, it's because of one law, but if
- 32:01they're adults, they already asylum seekers.
- 32:04So we can do nothing.
- 32:06So if they touch Spanish ground, that's it.
- 32:09Your hands are tight.
- 32:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 32:11How many do you think are still here?
- 32:13Because in my country, the mainstream media,
- 32:17says that almost everyone got back and that,
- 32:20that and there are only like 1,000 left here.
- 32:23Yeah.
- 32:24Here in Spain.
- 32:2610k minimum.
- 32:28Yeah.
- 32:28Around that.
- 32:29Guys, thanks for talking to us.
- 32:30I really appreciate it.
- 32:31Thank you so much for coming.
- 32:33Yeah, sure, sure.
- 32:34It's my pleasure.
- 32:34That's my pleasure.
- 32:35Thank you very much, guys.
- 32:36I appreciate you.
- 32:37Thank you.
- 32:37Bye bye.
- 32:38I met some, elderly locals here in.
- 32:42What are your opinions
- 32:44on what is happening in the last days?
- 32:47Now there are three tips of population.
- 32:50Christian people, the Muslim people.
- 32:55The Muslim people from Ceuta.
- 32:57And they will leave.
- 32:58People from Arugh what should happen
- 33:00to the people who are still here?
- 33:04Crossed illegally.
- 33:07What should happen?
- 33:08Last week, about 60,000.
- 33:11Yeah, I know.
- 33:12People.
- 33:14How many are left?
- 33:15100,000.
- 33:16100,000.
- 33:18Serious?
- 33:19Because the media, I think that,
- 33:23police say me over 100,000.
- 33:29100,000 people crossed the border several days ago,
- 33:33according to a real resident.
- 33:35And.
- 33:36But how many are still left?
- 33:37That is my question.
- 33:38Because many of them also
- 33:41went back to Morocco again.
- 33:42Right now maybe there are 15, Thousand
- 33:56people that are now in south.
- 33:59Listen, You know what they're saying
- 34:01in my country, mainstream media,
- 34:03they are telling us as Dutch people.
- 34:07Only, 2 mil.
- 34:101,000.
- 34:11Only 1,000 left here now, minimum.
- 34:24Seriously.
- 34:25See how beautiful this city actually is?
- 34:28We are now in the city center of.
- 34:30Of Theta.
- 34:35Sad.
- 34:35How sad is it?
- 34:37How sad is this, guys?
- 34:39The legend, the legend said, says that
- 34:41Hercules separated the two continents.
- 34:44And this colum.
- 34:45Africa separated is Europe.
- 34:47The two continents Africa from Europe.
- 34:51And how is that separation going
- 34:53so far here Hercules diet.
- 34:55And now the separation is not working anymore.
- 35:00As you can see, some tools to cross
- 35:06that bit of sea, as you can see there.
- 35:13There, further up, maybe 20, 30, 40 guys
- 35:19sitting on a rock, basically in the sea.
- 35:22So, guys, this was svieta.
- 35:24We're just leaving it, going home again.
- 35:27One thing is for sure.
- 35:28Mainstream media is lying, blumped, out lying.
- 35:33They're lowering the numbers.
- 35:34We saw it ourselves.
- 35:35It's still full of African migrants.
- 35:38We cannot blame those guys, because
- 35:40if we were in the same position,
- 35:42living in poverty, we would also try.
- 35:45We should blame our governments.
- 35:47For example, the Spanish
- 35:48government, Spanish border.
- 35:51The, Moroccan government in this case.
- 35:53Let me know what your thoughts, are
- 35:55about this video and we will see you next time.
