ARCHIVED - 60 sub-Saharan migrants repelled at the Spain-Morocco border fence in Ceuta
Numerous Africans are reported to have been gathering close to the border in recent weeks
In recent months the problems caused by the migratory flow of unauthorized Africans attempting to enter EU territory via Spain have been most serious in the Canary Islands, where almost 3,500 people were intercepted either shortly before or just after they landed in the first quarter of this year alone, but the spotlight returned to the north African enclave of Ceuta on Tuesday morning when a group of 60 people attempted to cross the boundary fence separating the Spanish city from Morocco.
Various of the assailants managed to clamber onto the outer of the fences around Ceuta, which have recently been equipped with new barbed-wire “combs” designed to deter just such incidents, but it is reported that none of them succeeded in entering Spanish territory. They made their move at shortly after 6.00 in the morning but the Moroccan police and the Spanish Guardia Civil managed to keep them at bay and no injuries have been reported.
This attack follows an increase in the number of sub-Saharan Africans in camps on the Moroccan side of the border with Ceuta over the last few weeks, especially close to Finca Berrocal, where the group iso believed to number around 150. The incident on Tuesday took place at a location where the 6-metre wire mesh has not yet been replaced by the 10-metre structures which combine bars, cylinders, barbed wire and various other elements which are designed to be more efficient in keeping migrants out but less likely to cause them physical harm.
On March 31 a mass assault on the border fence in Melilla concluded with 18 migrants managing to scale the fence.
