Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

50 African migrants force their way into Spain

Apr 7, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The hijra into the EU has significantly receded due to the coronavirus. Even the border between Turkey and Greece is relatively quiet compared to what it was, according to some reports. However, migrants at the Greco-Turkish border still have not fully abandoned their attempts to force their way illegally into Europe, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has armed them so as to enable them to “punch through“ Greece’s protective fences.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, about 50 migrants “on Monday forced their way into Spain’s Melilla city over the fence that separates the European enclave in Northern Africa.”

Authorities managed to block some of them from entering, but those who made their way in were not reported to have been sent back. In March 2019, hundreds of Moroccan migrants managed to break their way through a 20-foot barbed-wire fence into Spain, amid loud cheers of victory. However, about a third of them was sent back.

The EU’s laxity on immigration has not been resolved. It’s merely on the back burner as the coronavirus occupies center stage.

“50 Migrants Force Way Over Morocco-Spain Border, Five Injured,” Breitbart London, April 6, 2020:

Some 50 migrants on Monday forced their way into Spain’s Melilla city over the fence that separates the European enclave in northern Africa, authorities there said.

The central government’s delegation in Melilla, which borders Morocco, said that they were part of a group of around 250 migrants who launched a “massive and violent entry” into the city, scaling the fence and ignoring the Spanish law enforcement officers on guard.

A Red Cross spokesman in the city said that volunteers had assisted several migrants with cuts and bruises at the gates of Melilla’s temporary migrant internment center, and that at least four of them had been transferred to a hospital with possible bone fractures and other ailments.

One soldier from Spain’s Armed Forces was injured, the government’s delegation said.

Melilla and nearby Ceuta are two tiny enclaves separated from Morocco by barbed-wire fences and constant border monitoring….

      Thanks for the video. They do not look like the typical Moroccan…

      ABC-News: “MADRID — Some 50 migrants on Monday forced their way into Spain’s Melilla city over the fence that separates the European enclave in northern Africa, authorities there said.

      The central government’s delegation in Melilla, which borders Morocco, said that they were part of a group of around 250 migrants who launched a “massive and violent entry” into the city, scaling the fence and ignoring the Spanish law enforcement officers on guard.”

      A massive and violent entry. How can Europe let that happen???

    Oh, yeah, these lawless scum are obviously going to make wonderful citizens, who will contribute positively to Spanish society, if they are allowed to stay. It’s the usual Muslim tradition of invading countries, then dragging the countries back into a primitive, backward way of life. 1400 years of invading and still behaving in the same way (even if it is a small number of invaders in this case). Surely these types of people are useless to any civilised country.

      Less than useless, tim.

      More like violent parasites…

        Yes, James, what a rabble they look to be. I think what John Kendall says, up above, is true though. These people are bound to try to get the hell out of the wrecks of countries they come from, so it is up to our countries, in this case Spain, to stop them invading. Such a lack of willpower our countries all tend to display. I keep thinking we are just too nice, too soft a touch, which is a situation that is bound to be exploited. Hungry and the other Visegrad bloc countries are showing what needs to be done.
