El camposanto de Sidi Embarek acogió este viernes los primeros sepelios de las personas migrantes que murieron en tránsito desde Marruecos el 30 de julioLa última mañana del campamento del Trampolín: “No sé lo que va a pasar, pero cualquier cosa menos volver a Marruecos” En el cementerio musulmán de Ceuta, ubicado en la escarpada ladera de la barriada de Sidi Embarek, un elevado número de tumbas carece de nombre. Un número las identifica. Y aunque algunas son de locales, muchas de ellas, cientos, miles incluso, las ocupan migrantes que perdieron la vida en el mar tratando de alcanzar suelo español, el de la ciudad autónoma, desde Marruecos. Hoy viernes, 18 personas fallecidas en la entrada a la localidad el 30 de julio, pasaron a engrosar la cuenta de los anónimos. Sus números van del 5412 al 5430. Tras el rezo de poco antes de las seis, cinco voluntarios ya esperaban en el lugar. Habían levantado una hilera entera de tierra de unos veinte metros de ancho por unos dos de largo, para dar cobijo a los cadáveres que ya no podían permanecer en la morgue dado su avanzado estado de degradación. La vecina de una casa junto a la entrada del cementerio gritaba por la ventana: “¿De quién es esa moto y ese coche?”. Otro residente bajaba en camiseta de tirantes y en unos pantalones cortos ligeros a rayas. Finalmente, los propietarios retiraban los vehículos. Ahí debía entrar el coche fúnebre. Antes llegó la consejera Nabila Benzina y el diputado y socio dela funeraria, Navil Rahal. También un motocarro conducido por un chaval joven, pero diestro al volante -a la vista de sus maniobras en poco espacio- que portaba en la parte trasera las camillas de lona donde luego reposarían los migrantes fallecidos. Traslado del cadáver de una de las personas migrantes que murieron en tránsito desde Marruecos el 30 de julio. Pasaban de las 17.20 horas, hora local, cuando los primeros restos mortales llegaron. “A la derecha están las piernas”, decía uno de los encargados de su traslado al abrir el maletero. Todos iban con trajes desechables, con mascarillas e incluso con máscaras de gas. Pesaban sobre los hombros de cuatro trabajadores los cuerpos de los fallecidos. También pesaba la atmósfera húmeda y muy cálida. Quienes levantaron los cuerpos, luego se agruparon en torno a un imán, muy juntos rezaron: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar” (Alá es grande). Mirando hacia abajo, donde, sobre las camillas descansaban los cuatro primeros migrantes fallecidos y enterrados hoy. Tras ellos, al fondo, un vergel verde, distinto en morfología y colores al resto de la Ciudad, más árida. Una zona llena de árboles que tapan la barriada del Príncipe y que llegan hasta el país vecino, Marruecos, de donde llegaron quienes este viernes recibieron sepelio. Entierro en el camposanto de Sidi Embarek de 18 personas migrantes que murieron el pasado 30 de julio en Ceuta. Tras la primera oración, las personas equipadas comenzaron a trasladar a los muertos a sus espacios, colocando uno por uno en su hueco. Mientras, cinco personas, de pie sobre la tierra excavada para crear las oquedades, seguían rezando. Cuando los cuatro ocupaban el lugar designado, tiraban sobre él un puñado de producto químico blanco. Y luego ponían ladrillos delgados y alargados para sellar la tumba. Finalmente, encima iría la tierra, y el número, grabado en piedra blanca. La operación se repitió hasta que los 18 recibieron sepultura. De los más de cien cadáveres de migrantes que albergaba hasta hoy la morgue, solo seis han sido identificados -hay un séptimo cotejado, pero este falleció en el Hospital Universitario- y ninguno ha podido ser trasladado a Marruecos por la negativa del Gobierno del Reino alauita. Por tanto, cabe esperar que la escena de hoy se repita reiteradamente. Con más entierros de personas que perdieron la vida en la mar y que siguen sumando en la cuenta del cementerio de los anónimos.

(The Center Square) – More developments have been reported as the FBI investigates former U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-San Francisco Bay Area. The White House on Friday referred The Center Square to the FBI, and the FBI declined to comment. However, it has been widely reported by the media that federal authorities took multiple electronic devices from Swalwell on Saturday at San Francisco International Airport and executed a search warrant Sunday at his residence in Washington, D.C. A federal court filing in the Northern District of California identified the seized items as an Apple iPhone and an Apple MacBook Pro. No charges have been announced against Swalwell. The news comes four months after Swalwell resigned from Congress over the sexual misconduct allegations. Swalwell dropped out of California's gubernatorial race, in which he was regarded as a frontrunner. A former member of Swalwell's staff told the San Francisco Chronicle that the congressman sexually assaulted her. Three more women accused Swalwell of making sexual advances and sending explicit photos. "I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past," Swalwell wrote in a statement. "I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility for the mistakes I did make." Earlier this week, the White House released nearly 100 pages of what it called declassified records involving an FBI counterintelligence probe into Swalwell’s interactions with a woman authorities believe may be a foreign intelligence operative.

(The Center Square) - Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs has a double-digit lead over U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Surprise, in Arizona’s gubernatorial general election, according to a new poll. Noble Predictive Insights released a poll on Thursday showing Hobbs leading Biggs by 13 points among Arizona likely voters: 48% to 35%. NPI CEO Mike Noble told The Center Square that it is not a surprise that Hobbs has a big lead over Biggs, given that the congressman just came out of a primary where he defeated U.S. Rep. David Schweikert, R-Scottsdale. Hobbs did not have any opponent in her primary, Noble noted. Despite the poll showing Hobbs having a big lead, Michael Beyers, a spokesperson for Hobbs’ campaign, said the race between the governor and Biggs “will be close.” “Hobbs isn't taking anything for granted. She'll continue meeting voters across the state and working across the aisle to cut taxes, eliminate medical debt for nearly 700,000 Arizonans, secure the border and protect our water,” Beyers told The Center Square. The spokesperson noted Biggs has supported “tariffs that are raising costs, and pushed a 23% sales tax on everything Arizonans buy — which is exactly why voters will reject his extreme, cost-hiking agenda in November.” The Center Square reached out to Biggs’ campaign but did not hear back before publication time. According to Noble, the race between Biggs and Hobbs “will tighten up,” noting Arizona is a battleground state. “I expect this race to get closer and to remain competitive,” he said. Among likely Republican voters, the poll showed 15% supported Hobbs, compared with 3% of likely Democratic voters backed Biggs. Noble said the Republicans who are going to vote for Hobbs are part of the GOP's moderate wing. This group of Republicans is not large enough to affect primary races, but can affect general elections, Noble explained. The poll showed 75% of likely Republican voters are backing Biggs, while 86% of likely Democratic voters are supporting Hobbs. Noble said Biggs has a base issue, which is a problem in a state where races are closely decided. The poll showed likely voters trusted Hobbs over Biggs on water issues, housing, education, economics and data centers. According to the survey, voters trusted Hobbs more than Biggs by a difference varying from 9% to 19% across these categories. The only category in which Biggs saw more voters trust him over Hobbs was immigration and border security, but only by 1 percentage point. “Historically it’s a surprise to see a Democrat ahead on economic issues,” Nobel told The Center Square. He added that it is “also telling” that Hobbs is close to Biggs in border security. Despite Hobbs leading in these categories, Noble said voters may change their minds as Election Day approaches after being inundated with campaign messaging. He pointed out that Biggs has not “had time to message.” “When one person has had the stage to talk, and the other hasn’t, that’s how you get numbers like these,” Noble said. As the race gets closer to Election Day, polling numbers will get closer, he predicted. Noble noted it is a “tough election environment for Republicans,” citing people’s frustrations with the economy and the Iran conflict. Regarding lieutenant governor choices, the poll showed only 16% of likely voters said the gubernatorial candidate’s running mate would greatly impact their vote. Because of Proposition 131, voters on Nov. 3 will vote for a governor-lieutenant governor ticket, and starting next year, Arizona will have its first lieutenant governor. Up to now, the state's second-in-command was the secretary of state. Prop. 131 was passed in 2022. Hobbs’ pick of former Mesa Mayor John Giles is helping the Democratic governor with some independent and moderate Republicans, Noble said. The poll found 35% of likely independent voters said Hobbs’ choice of Giles makes them more likely to support her. “Only time will tell if Katie Hobbs’ attempt at a bipartisan ticket will pay off,” Noble explained. “The voters who like her choice of a (former) Republican as lieutenant governor might still prefer a Republican at the top of the ticket. The poll also discovered 55% of Republican voters were more likely to vote for Biggs because of his choice for a Republican running mate, former state Sen. Sine Kerr. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3.04%.
