Yeah.
So, I mean, it's been under Spanish control since the 17th century and actually was, interestingly, one of the points from the Moorish conquest, the opposite direction, into Spain.
And I think that's something we've seen in some far-right narratives as well coming in.
So it is Spanish territory.
It's...
also an autonomous region.
So it's not completely sort of controlled by by Madrid.
And it's also not recognised by Morocco, formally as a Spanish territory, which creates a kind of strange border situation.
But we do see Spanish and Moroccan border control on both sides of that.
Well, we actually haven't heard anything formal or we didn't hear anything formal from the Moroccan authorities until yesterday.
today, this morning, even then they absolutely have not mentioned that.
It was a complete kind of deafening silence on that, which is not unsurprising.
I think they're unlikely to suddenly say that they had taken their own border guards off.
It's kind of created a bit of a...
an ongoing media war between Algeria and Morocco, who are by no means friends in the first place.
But Algerian media have really been pushing this narrative that Aitor was talking about, that these Moroccan guards were not there and this was specifically related to...
Morocco trying to stop or pressure Spain into changing its position on the Western Sahara and after this trip that the Spanish Prime Minister made.
to Algeria recently, that it was a kind of response to that.
Moroccan media on the other side are definitely not mentioning this, at least all sort of pro-government media, which is the majority of outlets, I would say.
And they are pushing a narrative without citing any real figures or citing any sources that 60% of those who went into Siota or Sabta in Arabic were Moroccan.
