King of Spain's visit to Ceuta and Melilla

The King of Spain to the Spanish cities in Africa, Ceuta and Melilla. It was high time for this. He should have gone 30 years ago.

The theocratic dictator Mohammed VI of Morocco has described the visit as regrettable.

Morocco is in war with Spain. Spaniards don't realise that, should they keep ignoring this fact and opposing no resistance, Moroccan troops will one day be beheading uncovered heads and selling women in Toledo and Tarragona.

The terrorist attacks of Casablanca and Madrid are just another episode of this silenced, forgotten war. As many other neighbouring countries, Spain and the different states occupying Africa’s North West coast have had a long history of conflicts, ever since the province of Mauritania Tingitana was incorporated into the Diocesis Hispaniorum in AD69.

Leaving aside old wars, recent battles include the War of 1859 in Tetouan, the Rif Wars in Melilla (1893 and 1909), Ifni in 1957, and the invasion of Western Sahara in 1975. All these wars were won by Morocco due to Spain’s financial and political weakness.

Morocco considers that Ceuta and Melilla is the next battlefield. Morocco won’t stop in Ceuta and Melilla, anyway; it will demand the Canary Islands as well as any other smaller islands surrounding the African coast.

Mohammed VI is an absolutist king (like many other previous sultans, of course including his father, Hassan II). He is not bothered with the poor situation of his subjects; he boasts Moroccan nationalism with expansionist speeches in order to sidetrack domestic oposition. Mohammed VI will use any possible methods to conquer Spain’s places of sovereignty. He can use "peaceful" demostrations, co-ordinated assaults to Spanish borders, or outright violence.

Spain should defend its places of sovereignty, which include, but are not limited to, Ceuta, Melilla, Islas Chafarinas, Penon de Alhucemas, Penon de Velez de la Gomera, Isla Perejil and Isla de Alboran. Spain should act as the United Kingdom did in the Falklands War if it were necessary.

Spain's constitutional monarchy produces a far better life for Spaniards than the theocratic dictatorship (officially another constitutional monarchy) does for Moroccans. Should Spain's places fall under the power of the King of Morocco, their situation would worsen dramatically. Therefore, Spaniards and Spain shall win this war to preserve the

Love and freedom.
