On June 24th a group of approximately 2000 asylum seekers tried to cross the border separating Melilla - a Spanish enclave in Morocco. More than 500 people managed to enter the border control area after cutting a fence and 130 of them succeeded in entering Melilla.
In addition, according to the latest reports, 23 people died while trying to cross to this Spanish enclave. Several international institutions have since demanded an inquiry into what caused the deaths. A spokesperson for the UN Commission on Human Rights called on Spain and Morocco to conduct an independent and efficient investigation and to hold those responsible for what happened accountable.
In this episode we’re bringing you the situation in Ceuta, Malila’s sister so to speak, so you understand the complexity of issues in Spanish enclaves in Morocco.
Episode hosted and produced by Douglas Herman and Sonia Nandzik-Herman, edited by Majid Bakhshi. Translation: Estelle Jean, Julia De Montremy, Melanie Manuel and Steven Herrera. Music: Kevin MacLeod and Eamon Kelly.
