BARBED WIRE BETWEEN CEUTA AND MOROCCO
Spain has begun to cordon off its African enclave of Ceuta on the North African coast in an effort to prevent illegal immigration. According to official information, workers began setting up an 8 kilometres long barbed wire fence between Ceuta and Morocco. The measure aims at making it impossible for African would-be immigrants to cross the border that has proved difficult to control. In mid October violent clashes opposed Spanish police and residents of Ceuta to illegal immigrants attempting to make their way to Spain.
