The exile of the 'caballas': "I left Ceuta crying because I felt that no one cared. I still carry the ceitil around my neck ... "

The article describes the emotional impact of the mass migration crisis on residents of Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city. Estrella Caballero, an 81-year-old resident, initially refused to leave her home despite the influx of over 80,000 immigrants crossing into the city from Morocco on July 30th. Her son, Anselmo Cruces, wanted to move her temporarily to his home in Algeciras for safety reasons, especially after she witnessed the dire conditions during the August 5th procession. She eventually agreed to leave after seeing children wandering alone and struggling to find basic necessities like food. The family took a ferry to Algeciras on August 8th, joining other residents who were leaving temporarily due to the uncertainty and danger. Many locals, including parents and grandparents, are now staying away from their homes or sending their children out of the city, while some seek temporary shelter elsewhere. The situation remains tense, with residents expressing fear of continued hardship through the autumn and winter.
