Not sure if this is some kind of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or if OP just also did the NYT crossword this morning.
It also showed up in the discourse thanks to Christopher Nolan controversially filming parts of The Odyssey there.
I play GeoGrid quite regularly and Western Sahara works well to score rare low-point answers. So I was a bit surprised to see it here as well.
Baader-Meinhof? how so? (and yes, I know they were the first generation of the Red Army Faction)
Same, but it was a video diving deep into the recent news about the surge of refugees into Spain -- very enlightening.
Found it. It's Cody Dahler who is a cheeky commenter on "current events" -- he's worth watching. Couldn't find it on YT so FB it is:
Because Ceuta has been all over the news, Morocco's other weird border is getting attention.
