About fifty Wednesday immigrants got to cross the border fence that separates the Spanish enclave of Melilla in Morocco, bringing to 156 clandestine arrivals to the city in less than 24 hours, the government delegation reported.

“From 22H00 (21H00 GMT) yesterday (Tuesday), more than 800 immigrants, divided into several groups, well organized, have been trying to reach the border fence that separates Morocco from Melilla “wrote the delegation of the Spanish government in a statement defining” an intense night of extreme migratory pressure. “

Early in morning, about 0500 GMT, “54 sub-Saharan have overcome the entire device” forces deployed by Moroccan and Spanish security to prevent entrance to the city, and protected by a triple fence with a dense mesh difficult to climb.

On Tuesday, 102 other African immigrants managed to enter Spain jumping the fence of this Spanish enclave, the only land border between Europe and Africa together with the other Spanish city in northern Morocco, Ceuta.

“We can not admit that massive assaults and strength are constantly on the southern border of Europe,” the government delegate in Melilla, Abdelmalik El Barkani, said in the statement.

“It’s not an immigration model that we should or can resign,” he said.

The conflict in Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Mali resulted in recent months increased attempts to penetrate the Spanish enclaves of Melilla and Ceuta, the only land border between Africa and Europe.

The Spanish Ministry of Interior on 16 November censused in almost 4,700 the number of clandestine immigrants who had come to Melilla since early this year, when around 2013 were just over 3,000.

Some, like Tuesday and Wednesday, throw in a group to jump the border fence while others, with false documents, try mingle with many Moroccans who cross the border daily.

According to authorities, 30,000 Moroccans, traders and porters, come daily to Ceuta and Melilla, two enclaves historically claimed by Rabat.
