Flag: Ceuta & Melilla 🇪🇦
Copy & Meaning

The flag of Ceuta and Melilla — the two Spanish autonomous cities on the northern coast of Morocco that represent the only land borders between Europe (the EU) and Africa. These enclaves are the destination for many migrants and asylum seekers attempting to enter Europe from Africa, making them flashpoints for European migration policy debates. Spain has administered these territories since the 15th century, predating Spanish colonization of the Americas.

Morocco disputes Spanish sovereignty over both. Used for European immigration policy, EU-Africa border discussions, Spanish-Moroccan territorial disputes, and the complex geopolitics of Europe's African land border.
