After around 49,000 people arrived by land and sea in a single day, with at least 19 dead corpses discovered in the water, Spain and Morocco strengthened the border fence of a Spanish enclave on Friday and seemed to have stopped mass crossings. Europe became divided as a result of the mass crossing into Ceuta, a Spanish-held spit that protrudes into the Mediterranean from Morocco. Italy threatened to halt the EU’s internal open border program.
Following the attack, the BBC reports that Spain is deploying troops to strengthen security in its enclave in North Africa, Ceuta. At the scene of fighting close to Fnideq on the Morocco-Spain border, a car catches fire. Moroccan authorities had used water cannon vehicles at the Ceuta gates, pushing protesters back. Nearby, fights with the masses revealed the burned remnants of seven cars and a bus. Despite a court decision that placed some new limitations on special “border rejection” laws that permit prompt expulsions, Spanish authorities stated they would attempt to remove anyone who had entered illegally as soon as possible. On Friday, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez were scheduled to travel to Ceuta.
