Ceuta and Mililla
 
In the last couple of nights (28/29 Sept) there have been mass attempts (some reports say 600 people) by migrants to get into the enclaves of Ceuta and Mililla.

One news website says 6 people were killed.
Its not clear whether these border crossings into Morocco are affected.

The night storming of the Spanish enclave of
Melilla is continuing, with more than 1000 people having a go last night. Reports say this is the 5th time in the last week.

Does anyone know if this is making Melilla a bad choice of border crossings into and out of Maroc?

I passed out of Morocco, via Cueta, on the evening/night of the 28th........Nothing out of the ordinary, border very quick and clear. Nothing indicateing "events" in Cueta town. I live in Spain and had no idea of problems until I saw news on my return home!
