Twitch suspended Zack ‘Asmongold’ Hoyt for 14 days after he suggested that Spanish border guards should have used lethal force during the Ceuta migrant invasion

Twitch has banned top US streamer Zack ‘Asmongold’ Hoyt after he suggested that migrants crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta – including children – should be shot to stop the flow and avoid unrest in the area.

The controversy erupted on Monday when Asmongold reacted to a video about the crisis in Ceuta, a Spanish territory bordering Morocco. Around 50,000-60,000 people, mostly young Moroccan men, stormed the enclave’s perimeter in around a day in late July.

The influx – which amounted to around 70% of the enclave’s regular population – completely overwhelmed the authorities, leading to scenes of utter chaos. The death toll exceeded 100 people, with many drowning in the Mediterranean Sea during the crossing.
