Tensions erupt in Ceuta as residents destroy migrant camp
Local residents of the Spanish exclave of Ceuta destroyed a migrant camp Friday, Reuters reported, collapsing tents and throwing belongings into the sea. The tensions come after more than 70,000 migrants crossed into the territory last month, the majority of whom were returned.
DECRYPTAGE - As the tension rises in the city of southern Spain, where thousands of people have been exiled this summer, the government is set up for its erratic management of the situation.
The crisis in Ceuta turns into a new episode of violence, a month after the massive influx of migrants from Morocco. Spanish protesters attacked an improvised camp on a beach on Thursday, threw stones and torched tents, and police intervention was necessary to prevent the spread of confrontations.
The rage in Ceuta is growing. Locals are destroying a migrant camp on the beach – and Moroccans are attacking an army patrol.
