Migrants swim from Morocco to Spain

At least 6,000 migrants, including 1,500 minors, swam across the Spanish-Moroccan border to reach Spain’s north African enclave of Ceuta on Monday and Tuesday. All have been detained.

Bilateral relations between the two countries are quite tense at the moment over the fate of Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Western Sahara's Polisario Front, who is in hospital in Spain.
