Thousands of migrants continue to storm the border of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa, despite Spain sending thousands back to Morocco and dozens of deaths. We look at what sparked the mass migration of mainly young men, who made the dangerous crossing by swimming to the territory, hoping to attain asylum to enter mainland Europe. DW correspondent Jan-Philipp Scholz is on the ground, reporting from the beach where migrants continue to arrive. DW’s Christine Mhundwa also speaks with European Migration and Diversity Policy analyst Helena Hahn from the European Policy Center, an independent, non-profit think tank in Brussels.
