48,000 migrants return to Morocco after massive influx into Spanish enclave

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

Spanish authorities say 48,000 migrants have returned voluntarily to Morocco after a massive influx of people into Spain’s north African enclave of Ceuta sparked a humanitarian crisis.

Spain deployed its armed forces and additional police to restore order in Ceuta, which sits on the Strait of Gibraltar at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and has been a Spanish possession since 1580.

Meanwhile, migrants from Morocco also attempted to cross into Melilla, Spain’s other territory at the tip of North Africa, where they clashed with police.
