One month after a major breach at the El Tarajal border post, where more than 80,000 people crossed in less than two days, the city of Ceuta is still feeling the effects. The border post, located between Spain and Morocco, is a key point for migration in the region. Since the incident, the atmosphere in Ceuta has grown tense. Residents express a sense of abandonment by the government, combined with anger, fear, and uncertainty. The streets, which are usually bustling with activity, now host thousands of immigrants still lingering in the area. According to Spanish authorities, between 5 to 10 percent of the people who entered during the breach are still present in the city. The residents of Ceuta, known for their multicultural and harmonious coexistence, have lost their usual tranquility. The month of August, typically a time of relaxation and freedom, was instead marked by confinement and insecurity. Many fear that the growing frustration over the breach and unfulfilled promises could disrupt the peaceful diversity that defines Ceuta. There is concern that the breach may create a lasting divide in the community, where patience has been tested by repeated unmet expectations. Despite the tension, some parts of the city appear to have returned to normal. Manolo Fernández, a local tobacconist who has run his kiosk on Constitution Square for 40 years, says that business has picked up. He notes that he is selling more tobacco than before, including packs, roll-your-own cigarettes, and nicotine sachets. However, he dismisses the idea that life has fully returned to normal. His comment reflects the underlying unease that continues to affect the city, even as daily routines persist.
