The geography of Ceuta and Melilla, and the reasons why they are part of Spain, analyzed from Argentina

Following the Moroccan migratory incursion into Ceuta, there has recently been much discussion regarding the Spanish territories in North Africa.

What if we extrapolate to others the idea that there shouldn't be Spanish cities in Africa?
Historical facts for the uninformed about Spain and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla

Interest in Ceuta and Melilla has helped shed light on their history, revealing the reasons why they have been part of Spain for centuries—long before the current Kingdom of Morocco was formed in 1956. This topic also appears to have sparked interest in Argentina, the country from which a highly popular YouTube channel, "Un Mundo Inmenso," is produced; its creator has spent years publishing a wide variety of videos centered on geographical curiosities.

Their latest video, published on Thursday, October 22, is dedicated to Ceuta and Melilla; it also covers other Spanish possessions in North Africa, analyzing their geography and the reasons why they have long been linked to Spain. It is a very well-crafted and well-documented video—one that will likely not be well received in Morocco, a country that has spent years laying claim to these two Spanish cities, which have never belonged to it (the video is in Spanish but has an English audio track; you can enable it in the player):
