Ceuta Leader Accuses Morocco After Deadly Mass Border Crossing
The leader of Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta has accused Morocco of allowing or encouraging a deadly mass crossing at the border. He described the incident as an atrocity and said dozens of bodies were recovered after the chaos. Spanish officials said many of the people who crossed into Ceuta had since been returned to Morocco, while others remained in the territory. The influx overwhelmed the small city and triggered renewed tensions between Spain and Morocco. Spain's defence minister called on Moroccan authorities to investigate the tragedy. The reported casualty and crossing figures should be independently verified, as accounts of the incident have varied.
