They called it chaos. But borders opening for some and closing for others isn't chaos. It's a choice someone made. Four people drowned in ten minutes. Madrid and Rabat will blame each other. Neither will be held responsible for the dead.

"The Moroccan police were shouting at us: 'Go, go, go! Run now, run into Spain,' he said. 'The night before, they were beating people. But that morning they were letting us through. Nothing made sense.' Despite the crowds, El Abbas noticed the police were only letting Moroccans cross over. 'All the sub-Saharan migrants were being pushed back by force.'
