Spain has returned to Morocco more than a dozen Sub-Saharan African and Asian migrants who reached Ceuta and were turned down for asylum, the first deportation of its kind from the enclave since a mass border crossing in July, Reuters reported.
The Interior Ministry said the group had been sent back to Morocco after it agreed to receive them and they remained on Moroccan territory at present. It declined to give numbers or nationalities but migrant and rights charities operating in Ceuta said 16 people from Senegal, Nigeria, Yemen, Cameroon, and Bangladesh were deported.
Over 48 hours in July, some 80,000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in Africa.
While most returned within days, thousands remain and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's government is under pressure from the EU and a frustrated populace to fix the Ceuta crisis before elections on November 29.
Spanish authorities are housing 8,000 migrants in reception centres and processing asylum applications lodged by the majority of people remaining in Ceuta.
