Multiple tier1 and other sources (AP, Reuters, BBC, Al Jazeera, Britannica, The Local) confirm Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish autonomous cities located on the northern coast of Africa; Morocco disputes Spanish sovereignty but the claim's core is supported. The extraction faithfully captures the speaker's statement that Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish cities on Africa.

Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.

What we found

Supports. AP reports that Ceuta and Melilla are on the northern shores of the Mediterranean at the northern tip of Africa and both autonomous cities belong to Spain.[1][2]

Supports. BBC profile states the tiny Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla sit on the northern shores of Morocco's Mediterranean coast, with Madrid asserting both are integral parts of Spain.[3]

Supports. Al Jazeera states that although Ceuta lies on the northern coast of Africa, it is administered by Spain and forms part of the EU; legal analysis confirms Spanish sovereignty.[4]

Context. Morocco does not officially recognize Ceuta and Melilla as Spanish territory and refers to them as occupied lands, a contested sovereignty dispute that does not reverse the claim's core.[1][2][5]
