The record influx overwhelmed the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta, leaving at least 18 dead and prompting Italy to threaten the return of border controls.
Ambassador Zniber said that his government does not recognize the UN’s characterization of the border fence as a Spanish-Moroccan land border, because it does not recognize Melilla to be Spanish.
The change is aimed at reaching 15,000 young people in the country, both those still under the care of the state and the extutelados, those over the 18 who were once wards of the state.
The presence of such weapons in Ceuta, combined with the ever-looming threat of a massive influx of illegal migrants, contributes to a state of ongoing tension in a city upon which Morocco appears to have designs.
