The Crisis of Solidarity and Migration in Ceuta

• The article critiques the slogan "We are all Caballas" (Ceuta natives) in the context of the migration crisis in Ceuta.
• It argues that current humanitarian responses often lack political substance and fail to address structural racism and xenophobia.

The Migration Crisis in Ceuta

• Migrants arriving in Ceuta, often driven by poverty or geopolitical maneuvering, are subjected to extreme conditions and exclusionary policies.
• The author compares the treatment of these migrants to Agamben's concept of "homo sacer," suggesting they are treated as disposable lives within a modern "collapse era."
• Significant parallels are drawn between the humanitarian neglect in Ceuta and the broader context of violence in Gaza.

Challenging the Narrative

• The author suggests that rather than claiming "we are all Caballas," it would be more honest to recognize the collective failure of various social actors—politicians, NGOs, media, and police—whom the author labels "scoundrels" (canallas).
• The call is to move away from performative politics toward rational solidarity, inspired by the "Houyhnhnms" from Gulliver's Travels, representing beings who reject violence.
• The text highlights the work of grassroots organizations like "Negu Gorriak / Derecho a Techo," which provide direct material aid, such as mobile shelters and medical supplies, challenging the status quo through tangible action rather than just humanitarian rhetoric.
