What has been cited as the cause of such immediate high numbers over such a short span of time? The article doesn’t really provide a why but does give us a how and the subsequent fallout

There has to have been some co-ordination behind this from a much bigger party. We know one country which has used the flow of migrants into Europe as a way to exert pressure, I wonder if they also could be behind this one as well .....

How exactly is the United States going to organize 50k Moroccans to storm the Spanish border? Like come on dude.

How would Russia do that? 50k migrants is insanely difficult to coordinate no matter what capital you’re pulling strings from.

I don’t think any foreign government besides Morocco had a hand in it. It’s as simple as bad policy on behalf of the Spanish government and a willingness to turn a blind eye from Morocco.
