Rabat, July 28 (RHC)-- In North Africa, about 800 migrants rushed a heavily fortified border separating Morocco from the tiny Spanish enclave of Ceuta, in a coordinated push to reach European soil, where they could apply for political asylum.
At least 130 migrants suffered injuries in the incident, many of them from the concertina wire topping the metal fence separating the two territories.
Several hundred who made it to Spanish soil celebrated as they successfully reached an immigration processing center; dozens more were returned to Morocco after they were captured by police.
