Marruecos frustra el intento de cientos de migrantes subsaharianos de alcanzar Ceuta
Las fuerzas de seguridad marroquíes han detenido a 61 personas por incitar a la migración ilegal en un dispositivo que mantiene blindadas las fronteras de Ceuta y Melilla con el país magrebí
Spanish authorities thwarted an attempt by hundreds of sub-Saharan migrants to illegally enter the Spanish city of Ceuta from Morocco on Saturday, according to security forces there. The majority of the migrants were believed to be from sub-Saharan Africa. Around noon, Moroccan police charged against hundreds of sub-Saharan migrants near Castillejos, a border town with Spain.
They intercepted 111 migrants, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, who were trying to reach the Ceuta border and detained 61 people for inciting illegal migration, sources cited by EFE reported. The group of sub-Saharan migrants remained concentrated in a clearing in the Cerámica neighborhood, closest to the border. Moroccan police forcefully moved them away in rented buses to various locations across the country, including Uarzazat, more than 800 kilometers away from the Spanish border.
