A Moroccan man decided that his illegal crossing to Ceuta deserved to be recorded. So he took out a selfie stick and swam with it in his hand, documenting every stroke toward Spain.
It was not an isolated case. It happened during the most intense 48 hours the city has experienced in years: tens of thousands of people entered by swimming or walking along the breakwater from Morocco, overwhelming reception centers and forcing Spain to urgently deploy police and military personnel.
The video went viral almost instantly. And it made one thing clear: today, even a migration crisis is livestreamed, with a cellphone in hand and the Spanish coast in the background. 🎥🇪🇸
