Thousands of migrants have crossed the border into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco this week. While the BBC emphasizes the scale of the human movement and reported fatalities, Al Jazeera’s reporting centers on the diplomatic fallout and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s formal condemnation of the event as a territorial violation.
