Spain and Morocco have beefed up security on both sides of the border in Spain’s African enclave Ceuta as renewed calls circulate social media for Moroccan migrants to rush the border a second time after an initial mass migration event in July overwhelmed the city.
Soldiers patrolled the city’s commercial and government buildings Friday while an enhanced police presence could be seen on Ceuta’s main avenues, Reuters reported.
On the Moroccan side, security personnel dressed in all-black patrolled the beaches of Fnideq, one of the most prominent launching points from which migrants illegally entered Ceuta on July 30 as part of a mass migration event that saw over 70,000 people rush into Ceuta from Morocco.
The strengthened security followed calls on social media for Moroccans to again rush into Ceuta, and into Spain’s other African enclave, Melilia, on Saturday.
