Spain to send 25000 migrants back to Morocco
Ceuta, a Spanish city on Morocco's northern coast, witnessed an unprecedented wave of mass crossings into the market areas, with approximately 49,000 people entering by land and sea in a single day amid rumors of borders opening. The Moroccan and Spanish authorities responded to the event by repatriating around 25,000 irregular migrants back to Morocco, and reinforcing the border fence with trucks and water cannons to prevent the influx of newcomers. Clashes also erupted, resulting in the burning of vehicles and a bus. This event is considered one of the largest migration crossings into Europe via Ceuta, which serves as the only border between the European Union and Africa. There are political concerns as well, with Italy warning it may suspend its European cooperation if these mass migration waves continue.
