Spain: Scores of refugees successfully break into Spain's Melilla enclave

13.10.2016
Up to 100 refugees and migrants forced their way into the area of Melilla, a Spanish North African enclave, on Thursday, after climbing over two border fences.
Refugees were seen cheering and celebrating as they managed to enter the Spanish territory and reach the CETI, the short-stay migrant centre, where they are usually accommodated for a few weeks before trying to reach continental Spain, and either stay there or travel to other destinations in Europe.
There is a large permanent refugee presence on the border of the two Spanish enclaves in Morocco, Ceuta and Melilla, comprising people of mainly Sub-Saharan African and Syrian origin. In 2015, a group of between 80 and 100 migrants and refugees attempted to jump the border fence but a heavy Spanish police presence confronted and stopped them.
