Moroccan security forces stopped early Friday morning at least 400 sub-Saharan migrants from crossing into the Melilla enclave, according to Europa press.
In collaboration with the Spanish Civil Guard, Moroccan security forces intervened at 4:15 am to stop the group of Sub-Saharan migrants fleeing poverty or violence.
The migrants were divided into three groups “to assault the fence at different points in the North at the same time,” a spokesman for the Government Delegation in Melilla told Europa Press.
“Despite the violence that the migrants have wielded, with the throwing of stones and other objects against the Civil Guard, no agent has been injured,” the spokesman of Europa press added.
Melilla’s 12-kilometer-long border is regularly assaulted by migrants trying to make their way towards Europe. The last entry of migrants occurred on Tuesday, September 21, when a total of ten migrants managed to access Melilla.
In August, Spanish authorities said that more than 50 sub-Saharan migrants managed to cross into the Melilla enclave.
