Morocco Detains Dozens in Crackdown on New Ceuta Border Push
Moroccan authorities have detained dozens of migrants who attempted to enter the Spanish North African exclave of Ceuta this week. The attempted crossings come just two weeks after a massive rush in which around 72,000 people entered the territory from Morocco. This week, calls for another mass crossing had been circulating on social media, prompting a heightened security response. The detentions signal a firm effort to prevent a repeat of the recent border surge.
