The Spanish territory of Ceuta in northern Africa is in chaos as thousands of illegal immigrants linger on its shores and the government is reneging on its promise not to transfer migrants to the continent.
Thousands of migrants are defying Spanish orders to return to Morocco and are setting up makeshift shelters across Ceuta. The Government of Ceuta issued a statement on Friday saying that it will attempt to remove the hundreds of squatters living on El Trampolin beach. It will be the second attempt at such a clean-up, as a previous effort on Thursday saw the migrants immediately return to their encampments.
