00:18 Crisis in Ceuta, when Morocco hardens the tone against the Europeans.
00:23 The migratory crisis in Ceuta marks a new episode of tensions between Rabat and Madrid.
00:28 With Germany, Spain thus becomes the second European country with which Morocco is struggling in a few months.
00:34 Explanation.
00:36 Nearly 8,000 Moroccan and sub-Saharan migrants, and among them at least 1,500 minors, have forced the border between the kingdom and the Spanish city of Ceuta located on the Mediterranean coast since May 17.
00:47 A first episode of this type has already taken place at the end of April, 150 young Moroccans rallied Ceuta at the Nage, and two young men drowned.
00:55 But this new migratory crisis is showing an unprecedented dimension, as a result of the suspension of security and migratory cooperation, on May 16, between Spain and Morocco.
01:05 While Pedro Sánchez, head of the Spanish government, went to Ceuta under the watchful eye of its inhabitants on May 18, and that King Felipe VI could soon be on the phone with King Mohammed VI, the Moroccan government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior, has for the moment kept to express itself on the recent events.
01:24 However, he recalled his Spanish ambassador, Carima Bonilla, for consultation, having already been summoned by the Madrid government, to which she had declared, "There are acts that have consequences."
01:36 No break in tension.
01:38 On the 2M channel, on May 16, the police chief Mohammed Tissi said nothing else. The decision of the Spanish authorities not to notify their Moroccan counterparts of the hospitalization under an identity of "borrowing" to Logrono on April 21 by Brahim Ghali, head of the Polisario, note of the editorial, is not a simple omission, Morocco will take all the consequences.
01:58 And on March 1, a note from the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had fled in a timely manner, announced the suspension of all contact with the Arabic German embassy.
02:08 The Kingdom therefore indirectly assumes to open a double diplomatic crisis with two European partners, mainly in the name of the Sahara.
02:16 On the side of observers, a strategy of "no break in tension" is mentioned, when others do not hesitate to point out an aggressive strategy.
02:24 "We have the impression that it is an aggressive diplomacy, in reality it is simply more explicit than before but not fundamentally different," says Kadija Mohsen Finan, a political scientist and specialist in the Maghreb, affiliated with the Université Paris-Panthéon-Sorbonne.
02:38 Tensions over the last decades are numerous. To name but one, the suspension of judicial cooperation with France decreed by the Moroccan Ministry of Justice in February 2014, a few days after the issuance of a French arrest warrant against Abdelatif Amouchi, boss of the DGSN and the DGST, for "complicity of torture".
02:58 A suspension that will have lasted a year. As for Spain, Rabat has long used the immigration vans between its territory and the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla as a means of diplomatic and political pressure.
03:10 Since March 2020 and the beginning of the pandemic in Morocco, the authorities have closed the borders with these two cities in order to impose an economic blockade.
03:18 The Moroccan methods are therefore not new, but simply more complex. If the American decision on the Sahara boosted the assurance of the Moroccan authorities, it did not change the position of several European countries.
03:31 In the present case, the diplomatic fiascos of Morocco with Germany and Spain follow the attitude of these two countries on the Sahara issue, after the recognition of Moroccan sovereignty on this territory by Donald Trump in December last year against the normalization of the kingdom with Israel.
03:45 The American decision has certainly boosted the assurance of the Moroccan authorities, but it has not changed the position of several European countries, including Germany and Spain, which continue to consider the United Nations as the framework for any settlement of the conflict.
03:59 Obviously, Rabat thought that Madrid and Berlin were going to block the passage to the United States. But Berlin, on the contrary, called for a meeting of urgency within the UN Security Council following the American decision.
04:12 The importance of being considered. These "blows of lightning" or these "bloodshed" are therefore a means for Morocco to be heard and to demand special attention.
04:22 Beyond the Sahara, the kingdom aspires to be on an equal footing with the Europeans and knows its assets, including being a masterpiece of the South Mediterranean and an essential interlocutor on the African continent.
04:34 It must be said that by choosing to make Morocco the "Gendarme of Europe" and entrusting it with the management of immigration, the European Union, EU, has granted some power to the kingdom, like Turkey, which is now becoming a means of pressure.
04:48 Morocco no longer wants an inflection of European countries. It has this idea of ​​being a global ally. In the space of a few years, Morocco has also multiplied its ties with other partners, China, India, Russia, the Gulf countries and the United States.
05:04 They have not all worked, but it is a way of showing Europe that the kingdom can rely on other allies. On the part of the official Moroccan press, some editorialists believe that Africa is once again the subject of all American attention and that the kingdom will be the bridgehead of American strategy on the continent.
05:21 Morocco no longer wants an inflection of European countries. It has this idea of ​​being a global ally, a package that includes cooperation and economic exchanges, the management of immigration in the south of the Mediterranean and the recognition of the Moroccan identity of the Sahara, emphasizes Kadija Mohsen Finan. It remains to be seen whether this offensive strategy will be paying.
05:41 Regarding the migration crisis in Ceuta, Margarita China, Vice President of the European Commission in Dord is already declared, on May 19, that "no one can intimidate or make Europe sing". Just before, the head of Spanish diplomacy, Arancha González Leía, said, "On the other hand, there is place, not only in Europe".
06:01 Above all, European countries make the distinction between cooperation and the Sahara dossier, entrusted to the United Nations. This is particularly the case of Germany, which agrees to forge a solid economic partnership with Morocco in December. The Germans have unblocked a 10 billion dirham aid for Morocco, but consider the Sahara as a separate issue.
06:21 We must find the strategy and merit that gave birth to this idea to give him the "idiot of the year" medal. This is also the case with Spain, which has just allocated 30 million euros to Morocco to slow immigration, but considers that the care provided to Brahim Ghali is "humanitarian".
06:37 On the other hand, the Quai d'Orsay sought to bring the tension between its two European neighbors and Rabat down, by making the "confidence" of France in the action of the Spanish government on May 19, reminding that "Morocco is a crucial partner of the EU, especially in the face of migratory challenges".
06:54 Towards total rupture? What could be the outcome? The head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bourita, is a supporter of a hard line based on two great ambitions of King Mohammed VI, a conflict resolution in the Sahara and access to Morocco to the ranks of regional powers. But the bet is risky.
07:13 On the Moroccan side, the words soften the actions of many Moroccan politicians and other "experts" in international relations playing firefighters in the media by refusing to mention the word "rupture" and preferring the "need for a firm position, clear answers".
07:28 However, Khalil Hashimi Idrissi, the boss of the Moroccan press agency MAP, signed a bitter-tongued editorial on May 19. "The quantity, as our Iberian friends say, of security relations between Morocco and Spain is it so insignificant to go through loss and profit and be put in the background to welcome Mohammed Ben Batouche, the pseudonym under which Brahim Ghali was admitted to the hospital in Logrono, ", notes the editorial.
07:52 "We must find the strategy and merit that gave birth to this idea to give him the medal of the useful idiot of the year. It is disheartening," he writes in particular.
08:01 On his side, Nasser Bourita did not respond to the German invitation to participate in a conference on Libya which will take place in June in Berlin, after being held at bay by the Germans during a similar event in January 2020.
08:13 However, Germany has a much greater margin of error than Spain, according to Kadija Mosenfinan. The Germans can pursue the strategy of the "hand in hand", they can also adopt a less conciliatory attitude.
08:25 While Spain, geographically close to Morocco and the kingdom's first commercial partner, is much more embarrassed by the surroundings.
08:33 One thing is certain, from Berlin to Rabat, through Brussels and Madrid, none of the parties would come out of such a stronghold.
