Marruecos despliega cientos de policías y militares en la frontera ante los llamamientos a una nueva irrupción masiva
España, que ha aumentado un 42% los policías y guardias civiles en la ciudad, centra sus esfuerzos en expulsar a los 5.000 migrantes irregulares que permanecen e incrementar la presencia de agentes en las calles
On Saturday, the 15th of August, appears in red on the calendars of both the Interior Ministry and Moroccan authorities. Social media have been circulating messages for days, urging to repeat the scenes seen on July 30th and 31st, with thousands of migrants entering Ceuta illegally by swimming, bordering the El Tarajal embankment.
"The Ceuta border will be open on August 15th, a holiday in Spain," reads some messages shared online to encourage participation in a new massive influx. In response, Rabat has reinforced the border post of Fnideq (Castillejos in its colonial Spanish name) with hundreds of security forces members backed by military troops, as observed in videos circulating in Moroccan digital media for nearly a week.
Images of the installation of concertinas and barbed wires on the fences marking the border limit from the Moroccan side have also been shared.
