Ceuta Residents Protest Border Restrictions, Demand Recognition of Rights

"We are demanding our rights. We will not be silent and they will not silence us. That the inhabitants of Ceuta, who were born here, do not come from Morocco. It is not fair that they are denied papers." This is how the spokesman for the demonstrators, Lassen Layachi Hamido, expressed himself in the presence of the authorities of the autonomous city, this Monday morning. They have indeed been blocked at the border for more than a month and a half, reports El Faro de Ceuta.

They plan to collect the signatures of all the people who are in the same situation. The objective here is to offer a solution to the hundreds of individuals affected by Morocco’s decision to prevent the passage of people holding this document.

"If it is not resolved, we will go to Madrid," the spokesman hammered, before insisting on the need to quickly resolve the situation of people like him, in Ceuta, who can no longer go to Morocco for various reasons. This is the beginning of new acts, if the situation stagnates, threatens the spokesman.
