On Friday it was at the Melilla fence and this Sunday it was at the Ceuta fence, where dozens of sub-Saharan immigrants have been detained by the Moroccan Police when they tried to enter the autonomous city by force. This has been communicated by the Moroccan authorities after detecting this morning a group of immigrants who were heading from Tetouan to Castillejos, on the border with Ceuta. According to these same sources, the detainees were carrying iron objects and material to scale the border fence. Morocco has confirmed that it has arrested 59 people and that it has thus been able to foil the attempted assault on the Spanish border.
It is the second massive attempt in less than two days in the Spanish cities of North Africa.
