Spanish Enclave of Ceuta Reopens Border Checkpoint for Moroccan Vendors

18 August 2017, 00:12 GMT

Migrants attempted to “storm” the border along its entire length of 8.2 kilometers (5 miles).

Migration is one of key problems faced by Ceuta due to its geographical location. The authorities have installed 20-feet fence to control flow of refugees from Africa along the border with Morocco.

Migrants regularly seek to enter the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla from Morocco.
