WorldChaos at border crossing gives way to limbo for Moroccans in Ceuta

About 50,000 people entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta this week after Moroccan border controls appeared to ease. Youssef El Abbas said at least four bodies were visible in the water; at least 72 people drowned or were crushed. Spain blamed human-trafficking mafias, while speculation focused on possible Moroccan anger over Spain’s policy toward Western Sahara.
