-kehinde Ayeotan
In searching for green pastures abroad, nearly 70 sub-Saharan African migrants were injured when about 200 tried to jump the razor-wire-topped fence separating northern Morrocco from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
Police said around 60 managed to enter Spanish territory whilst the Red Cross said 14 people had to be hospitalised.
According to a spokesman from the Ceuta government, the migrants used wire cutters to breach a gate.
“Between 1,000 and 1,500 people are camping out in the scrub and woods around the enclave waiting for the opportunity to rush the border”, he said.
Migrants frequently jump or cut through the fences of Spain’s two enclaves in northern Africa, Ceuta and Melilla, or attempt to reach them by swimming along the Moroccan coastlines.
