Moroccan security forces thwarted an attempt by hundreds of migrants, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, to irregularly cross into the Spanish city of Ceuta on Saturday. The migrants had been hiding on the outskirts of Castillejos, a city bordering Spain. Moroccan police intercepted 111 migrants attempting to reach the Ceuta border and arrested 61 people for inciting illegal migration. The migrants were forcibly relocated by bus to various parts of the country, including Uarzazat, over 800 kilometers from the Spanish border.
