 | *sigh* What message is Morocco sending this time by letting them through? |
[AlAhram] Around 300 sub-Saharan African migrants colonists stormed the six-metre razor-wire fence between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Melilla early on Tuesday, with around 100 successfully crossing the border, police said.
Three coppers were maimed and required medical attention after the 0500 GMT rush, after migrants colonists threw stones at border security, Spanish police added.
Spain's two enclaves in Morocco, Ceuta and Melilla, are often used as entry points into Europe by African migrants colonists, who either climb over border fences or try to swim along the coast.
Over 1,000 migrants colonists attempted to cross into Ceuta in January, but most were returned to Morocco. |
