Spanish protesters and migrants clash with police in Ceuta

Spanish protesters and migrants clashed with police and each other in Ceuta, one month after a horde of over 70,000 Moroccan migrants abruptly swarmed the small Spanish enclave.

Footage of the mass of migrants storming the territory of just 84,000 people sparked a national crisis, and Madrid’s socialist government has struggled to contain it. The vast majority of the migrants left soon after arriving, upon finding a lack of transportation to Europe and a lack of accommodations, but thousands remain. Madrid claims 7,000 still remain, while Ceuta officials put the number closer to 10,000.
