Protesters torch migrant camp in Spain's enclave of Ceuta
Protesters in the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta set fire to a migrant camp on Thursday, demanding the immediate return of migrants to Morocco.
On Thursday, protesters in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa bordering Morocco, set fire to a site used to house migrants.
The demonstrators demanded that authorities immediately send the migrants back to Morocco. The arson occurred amid a protest against the presence of migrants in the area.
Ceuta has long served as one of the entry points for migrants attempting to reach European Union territory, since it borders Morocco but belongs to Spain and therefore to the EU. This has historically created tension between local residents, authorities and newcomers.
Details regarding any injuries, the extent of the damage, or the authorities' response to the incident have not yet been reported.
