As Europe responds to renewed migration pressure in Ceuta, the West continues to portray migration primarily as an external security threat while overlooking its own role in creating many of today's refugee flows.

Fortifying borders while ignoring these underlying drivers addresses the symptoms rather than the root causes of migration.
