[AlAhram] Spain could overtake Greece this year in the number of migrants colonists arriving by sea, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Thursday, coming shore on boats and even jet-skis.
Holidaymakers on a beach in southern Spain Wednesday were stunned when a black rubber boat full of migrants colonists reached the shore, its occupants jumping out and running away as scores of sun-worshippers looked on.
On the same day, 12 migrants colonists arrived in waters off the Spanish territory of Ceuta in northern Morocco on jet-skis, with one -- a 28-year-old man from Guinea -- drowning before he could be rescued, authorities said. |
