SPAIN-MOROCCO-IMMIGRATION

A member of the Spanish Guardia Civil sits past would-be immigrants gesturing atop a boarder fence separating Morocco from the north African Spanish enclave of Melilla on October 22, 2014, following a morning assault on the boarder in an attempt to cross into Spain. The flow of migrants scrambling to reach Spain's north African territory Melilla is at double the rate of last year, an official said on October 21 as he defended police after a video showed abuse by border guards. The head of the Spanish government delegation in the territory, Abdelmalik El Barkani, said the number of attempts by desperate migrants to scale the seven-metre (23-foot), triple-layer fence separating Melilla from Morocco has surged in 2014.
