Spain pulls out tanks on the road after over 6 thousand Moroccans cross the border by swimming
Spanish media say the Moroccan coastal guards simply stood and watched as immigrants entered the extremely dangerous journey.
The two Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla have become magnets for African immigrants seeking a better life in Europe.
Part of those who arrived in Ceuta last month were turned back, except for 30 minors whose age was confirmed by medical tests. “Purines” from the sea come at a moment of tension in Morocco's relations with Spain.
The Moroccan authorities are angry at the fact that front leader Polisario, a grouping that has been struggling for Western Sahara's independence for decades, has finally been laid down and receiving treatment at a Spanish hospital.
