    Read excerpt

    The recent wave of tens of thousands of Moroccan and other African economic refugees attempting to reach the Spanish settler colony of Ceuta has renewed Moroccan demands that Spain return Ceuta and Melilla, known in Arabic as Sabtah and Maliliah, to Morocco.

    Arab recognition of Israel rewards its relentless land theft (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

These demands have intensified since the US and Israel launched their war of aggression against Iran in February.
