Ceuta Cops Claim Invaders Are Dragging Girls Into Mountains For Gang-Rapes

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,

Spanish National Police officers and the majority union Jupol are sounding the alarm over a horrific pattern in the North African enclave of Ceuta: illegal Moroccan migrants, including unaccompanied minors and undocumented adults, are kidnapping girls and dragging them into the surrounding mountains to subject them to gang rape.

According to agents on the ground and local residents, the attackers operate with near-impunity around the Temporary Stay Centre for Immigrants (CETI) and the irregular settlements that have taken root on the hillsides.

Victims are overwhelmingly girls and adolescents - some local, but most are Moroccan or Sub-Saharan. The assaults are reportedly happening in the rugged terrain that is hard to police.

Jupol spokeswoman Laura García stated that far more of these attacks occur than ever reach official records. Survivors are too terrified to report. The number of formal complaints already exceeds the number of arrests. "Hoy hay violadores y pederastas sueltos por Ceuta," García said - today there are rapists and pedophiles loose in Ceuta.

One recent case illustrates the chaos. Last Thursday a minor was subjected to a multiple assault by several Moroccan men on Avenida de Lisboa, one of the city's main arteries.

Neighbours raised the alarm and only one attacker was caught; the rest fled and remain unidentified. The same day a young Sub-Saharan woman walked into the Superior Police Headquarters to report a similar group attack by Moroccan-origin perpetrators.

Officers say these incidents are not isolated. They are repeating daily.

Around thirty Moroccan girls, some as young as ten, have been observed sheltering under police vehicles out of pure fear of the men occupying the nearby slopes.

García has repeatedly described how groups of women and girls stay glued to police vans near the CETI because the moment they separate they risk sexual assault.

Meanwhile Equality Minister Ana Redondo, speaking from a "purple point" far away in Valladolid, insisted the minors "do not wander around but are in safe spaces and receive care."

The gap between official messaging and the reality reported by police, doctors and residents could not be wider.

This latest police testimony lands on top of an already catastrophic picture that has been unfolding since the late-July mass crossing.

An estimated 70,000-plus migrants poured into a city of roughly 84,000. Reception centres collapsed. Thousands of young men remained after many others were pushed back.

Beaches turned into open-air camps of shacks, garbage, food waste, urine and human faeces. Children's parks were left smeared in shit.

Hospitals reported surges in scabies, tuberculosis and impetigo. A doctor warned of a health catastrophe.

Civil Guard sources have confirmed at least 15 sexual assaults since the invasion.

Women have been packing up and leaving. Mothers have broken down on live television describing the daily terror for their teenage daughters.

One said her 16-year-old can no longer go anywhere without a parent because "the migrants devour her." Sisters Yoli and María José removed their daughters from the city, declaring they feel humiliated and abandoned while Pedro Sánchez holidayed elsewhere.

Residents have now set up their own women's protection camp because the state has failed to keep them safe.

Into this nightmare has stepped the self-styled "Barbie Gaza," Ana Alcalde, a Free Palestine activist and NGO-adjacent influencer who lives in Ceuta.

She is married to a local police officer, and has six children. She has been filming herself walking past groups of migrants, dressed provocatively, claiming the streets are completely safe and dismissing fearful locals as xenophobic.

The footage, however, shows her moving quickly, avoiding eye contact, while insisting everything is fine.

She loves Islamic North African invaders. Why doesn't she leave Europe and Spain and move to an Islamic country dressed like this? https://t.co/KqEIWw6EO1 pic.twitter.com/QhzznkgRAE

She has been filmed arriving in a high-end Audi to hand out sandwiches to the illegal arrivals.

A local Ceuta woman confronted her on camera and did not hold back. "It is very easy to come here and hand out sandwiches in an Audi with a police husband," the resident said. "I don't care about Palestine, I care about my family."

Aquí os dejo 3 minutos de una vecina ceutí TRITURANDO a 'Barbie Gaza' por colaborar con los inmigrantes ilegales y decir que Ceuta es seguro:

"Es muy fácil venir aquí a repartir bocadillos en un Audi con un marido policía".

"A mi Palestina no me importa, me importa mi familia". pic.twitter.com/bmBqTcTX8J

The pattern is by now familiar across Europe: mass illegal entries, government denial, media minimisation, activist performance, and ordinary women and girls left to fend for themselves. In Ceuta the mountains themselves have become hunting grounds.

Police unions are stating what the political class refuses to say out loud. Rapists and pedophiles are walking free. Girls are being taken. And the people who live there are paying the price for an open-border agenda that prioritises the comfort of invaders and the virtue-signalling of outsiders over the safety of Spanish families.

By 2050, The World's Most-Populous Cities Will All Be In Africa Or Asia

Across 150 years, familiar urban giants rise, fall, and give way to a new generation of megacities.

This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Gabriel Cohen, ranks the 15 most populous cities worldwide from 1950 to 2100 using population estimates from the European Commission’s JRC via Our World in Data. City boundaries were consistently defined based on satellite imagery and population data.

The Transatlantic Era

Tokyo led the 1950 ranking with 12.6 million people, followed by New York with 9.3 million.

The Big Apple was not the only massive Western city at the time. Of the 15 most populous cities in 1950, over half were found in either Europe or the Americas. This included London (7.9 million), Moscow (5.5 million), and Paris (5.4 million).

The table below ranks the 15 most populous cities in 1950:

RankCityPopulation in 1950

The rankings began changing quickly over the following decades. By 1975, London had fallen out of the top 15, while Paris (7.4 million) and Los Angeles (7.7 million) had also slipped in rank.

The second half of the 20th century also saw the rise of Latin American metropolises such as São Paulo and Mexico City, which by 2000 had surpassed New York as the most populous cities in the hemisphere.

The Rise of Asia

By 2000, Asia dominated the upper reaches of the ranking.

Tokyo maintained its lead at 30.3 million inhabitants, while Guangzhou had climbed to third with 19 million and New Delhi to sixth with 18 million.

Urbanization and a continental population boom continued, and by 2025 all but one of the 10 most populous cities worldwide were in Asia. The sole exception was Cairo, with 25.6 million people.

By 2100, Dhaka is projected to rank first with 55 million people, followed by Jakarta at 49.7 million and Karachi at 43.7 million. Tokyo, the world’s largest city in 1950 and 2000, is projected to fall to ninth place with 24.1 million residents.

Cairo will remain the most populous city outside of Asia, with 36.7 million people. It will be joined in the upper rankings by other African megacities including Luanda (30.7 million), Dar es Salaam (20.1 million), and Lagos (17.9 million).

Tokyo is projected to see its population fall below its 1975 level as declining birth rates contribute to long-term population decline.

The West African Pipeline Is Inherently Geopolitical

The West African Pipeline Is Inherently Geopolitical

Authored by Andrew Korybko,

The West never does anything without some benefit to itself in mind.

The Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) formally endorsed the offshore Nigerian-Moroccan Pipeline in late July. Construction on this $25 billion megaproject is expected to begin in 2028 and stretch over 4,000 kilometers along the West African coast for supplying the EU with 30 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas a year. Nigeria’s enhanced importance for the EU will place this official BRICS partner more firmly under Western influence and the same goes for the ECOWAS bloc that it leads.

While the 30 bcm is only around one-fifth of what Russia used to supply to the EU during the heyday of their energy trade, it nevertheless helps fuel the bloc’s economy, and it’ll also presumably be cheaper than the LNG that it began to import at scale from the US since sanctioning Russia back in 2022. Closer EU-Nigerian ties will complement the increasingly close US-Nigerian ones under Trump 2.0, which could ultimately lead to them empowering Nigeria to become their regional enforcer by proxy.

Although it has yet to go through with the putative anti-terrorist invasion of Mali that its Defense Minister intimated in early May, which would likely be pursued for regime change purposes if it ever comes to pass, Nigeria can still play this role in the future with Western backing. If the Sahelian Alliance of which Mali is a part survives the present Syrian-like Hybrid War onslaught, then a Western-backed Nigerian war with the bloc can’t be ruled out, one in which other ECOWAS states might also participate.

BBC cited energy expert and former Nigerian government advisor Charles Majomi as assessing that “[the Nigerian-Moroccan Pipeline] signals a change from current models where gas is typically extracted from African nations, refined and processed abroad then shipped back to African nations at three or four times the price”. It would of course be a positive development for the other ECOWAS states to receive gas at a much cheaper price, but the West never does anything without some benefit to itself in mind.

In this case, bolstering their economies is intended to lead to them purchasing more military wares from the West, with the overall effect strengthening their armed forces with the goal of turning ECOWAS into a more powerful Nigerian-led military bloc. While Guinea and Togo might decline to participate in any campaign against the Sahelian Alliance due to their pragmatic ties with them and growing ones with Russia, the rest are expected to take part in this if it happens. They’re also already pro-Western too.

Putting it all together, the Nigerian-Moroccan Pipeline does indeed advance all of the involved countries’ economic interests, but it’s also inherently geopolitical too since the long-term objective is to solidify Western influence among the ECOWAS states that also happen to be strategically coastal ones too. The “Global West” concept is therefore expanding from its North Atlantic core to encompass not only the US’ Asia-Pacific allies, the Gulf, Israel, and Latin America, but also West Africa now too.

Candidly speaking, there isn’t anything that the Sino-Russo Entente can do to stop the Nigerian-Moroccan Pipeline, and any attempt to do so anyhow would be presented as trying to impede the West African states’ development to the detriment of those two’s soft power.

What they can do, however, is ramp up support for the Sahelian Alliance and do their best to woo Nigeria back towards their side in the New Cold War. That’s much easier said than done but isn’t impossible so they might soon give it a shot.

Europe Scrambles For Innovation And Defense As US Decouples From "Global Order"

Europe Scrambles For Innovation And Defense As US Decouples From "Global Order"

For decades the European elites have pretended as if US integration into the progressive agenda is an afterthought on the way to a liberal Utopia.  The EU has long criticized Americans as backwards in their principles and politics, while at the same time being desperately dependent on American consumers, American innovation and American military might.  They simply never considered the possibility that the US might walk away from the old post-war arrangements.

Well, now it's happening and the European establishment doesn't know what to do.

ECB chief and former head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, took to the podium at the World Economic Forum’s International Business Council in Geneva, Switzerland this week to discuss the growing uncertainty in Europe.  

"Europe’s post-war growth model rested on three mutually reinforcing pillars. Today, all three are weakening as the international environment changes...."

"The third pillar was a stable, rules-based global order, underpinned by a US security umbrella. That environment allowed European supply chains to deepen, and enabled firms to organise investment around efficiency rather than resilience.  Today, that global order is under pressure. Geopolitical tensions are bringing critical dependencies and chokepoints into sharper focus, while Europe faces growing security threats on its doorstep..."

The WEF and its members have been suspiciously quiet in the past two years about their globalization projects.  The media coverage for the council meeting in Geneva has been thin.  It would seem, though, that the agenda so openly and enthusiastically promoted by the WEF during the Covid pandemic is not going as planned.

This event may be one of the clearest indications of the state of globalism since the failure of the pandemic coup and the return of the Trump Administration in 2025.  Largarde called for "better integration" across Europe for defense and more innovation, otherwise the region might miss out on the next digital revolution of AI. 

"In some respects, Europe is well placed to make the most of new technologies. We have a world-class research and knowledge base. The EU accounts for around 6% of the world’s population but as many as 15% of its researchers. It also produces almost one-fifth of the world’s most-cited scientific publications.

The challenge lies in turning that knowledge into commercial success and ensuring that new technologies diffuse across the economy. Too often, the barriers that prevent firms from scaling also hold back that diffusion..."

In other words, European governments are realizing that extensive bureaucratic barriers and overt taxation is crushing new businesses and preventing natural growth.  Better late than never...unless it's too late.  

Europe's economy is on a fast track to disaster.  An estimated 30-40 million migrants (legal and illegal) have entered the region in the past 10 years alone.  Most of these migrants come from third-world countries with no wealth, no skills and are largely dependent on European welfare systems in order to survive.  

Mass immigration has not led to the "explosion" in economic activity promised by multiculturalists.  In fact, the countries with the most migrants face increasing joblessness, housing shortages, inflation and a strangulation of taxpayer subsidies.  Meanwhile, as the US undergoes mass deportations of migrants, the economy is improving, including growth in GDP, manufacturing jobs and housing relief.  

National rental vacancy rates in the US climbed to around 7.2–7.3% by late 2025/early-mid 2026 (highest levels since 2017).  European vacancies are frozen at around 1%-3%.  The situation is dire.

The very globalists that created this mess are now complaining that, without US integration, they are about to sink into economic crisis.  This has inspired multiple European governments to dump funding into tech startups in a last-ditched effort to catch up to the US and China.  They are seeking to close their $1 trillion investment gap, but they plan to use taxpayer money to do it.  As Lagarde notes:

"Innovative European firms can often finance their early growth, but a gap tends to open as they scale. According to the European Investment Bank, EU and San Francisco-based scale-ups raise broadly similar amounts during their first five years of operations. But by the tenth year, EU scale-ups have raised roughly 50% less..."

"Fragmented capital markets can also incentivise young, innovative firms to vote with their feet. Some 12% of EU scale-ups have relocated outside the EU, most notably to the United State..."

It's unlikely that the EU plan for socialized funding and "capital market integration" will accomplish much without far more freedom and less taxes for entrepreneurs.  The elites pretend they want to revitalize economic growth but every new policy tends to cripple free markets with greater centralization. 

It is interesting, however, that these socialist and socialist-adjacent economies are struggling to function and survive the moment more free markets systems like the US walk away.  It's almost as if socialist systems are parasitic and require host organisms to feed off of, otherwise they begin to die.
