3º ESO - IES de Catabois - Ferrol (SPAIN)
About 400 immigrants have tried
to enter the autonomous Spanish city of Melilla
in an illegal way. They were trying to climb and jump the frontier fence from
several different spots simultaneously and, at the same time, they were trying
to avoid the security measures displayed by the Moroccan Auxiliary Forces and
the Civil Guard on both sides of the frontier, which was reinforced by a
helicopter from the army. The last try of fence jumping was on 31st
October, when 300 immigrants tried to enter Melilla illegally but none achieved.
There have already been 64 tries
of fence jumping along the current year. Over 14,000 Sub-Saharan immigrants
have taken part in those attempts, amongst which about 2,000 have been able to overtake the anti-intrusion devices.
The area where the autonomous
city spreads is limited by two parallel metallic structures, 6 metres high, nowadays,
and 12 kms. long, which borders the Spanish city, separating it from Morocco:
the fence. Its construction was started by the mid 90s, when the number of
arrivals of undocumented migrants coming from Sub-Saharan Africa multiplied
itself.
They’ve spent more than 140
million euro on this mission.
