Just want to call you guys out for yet another balanced, well-researched article that gives an accurate picture of a complex story in an amusing and easy to digest format. Thanks!

Very much appreciate your message, Richard, and thank you for your support! As I mentioned before, there was so much noise surrounding this story that we thought it was important to at least write about the basic facts.

Thank you, as always, for your news. The whole situation is heartbreaking. As someone who spends a lot of time in Morocco, this was very difficult to watch from afar. May our world find peace and may those who suffer, cease to suffer.

Thank you, Margaret. I can imagine. These last few days have been tough on all of us... Following the constant updates and then coming across multiple videos on social media spreading mis/disinformation was yet another reminder of how important it is to separate the facts from the noise.

Most definitely. I, for one, really appreciate your information. Thank you! 🙏

In case of interest, one of my PhD colleagues wrote a VERY MUCH related thesis. Her research was the first time I'd heard of Ceuta at the time. Full document here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/88484/ Chapter 4 may be of interest for historical context, and she later goes on to talk about the formation of communities of practice in enabling migration (though I can't remember off the top of my head if she talks about the use of social media).
