WATCH: Terrified Ceuta woman pleads for troops “We’re alone”: We need the military on the streets. They are not here. We are alone. We cannot call the police or the Civil Guard because they are overwhelmed. We need urgent help. I am surrounded. I am scared. How could I not be scared? I am shaking. This is an invasion. It started in Ceuta, but this is Spain’s border, Europe’s border. Today it was Melilla, tomorrow it will be the Canary Islands, then Tarifa. This is unacceptable.
