Ceuta : border reopened for passage of vendors and wares

The border separating Morocco from Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in the Kingdom, has been reopened on Thursday for the passage of vendors and goods, says EFE.

Sources from the local prefecture told the same source that the trade activities were resumed normally today. «On Wednesday afternoon the Ceuta prefecture began allowing Moroccan street vendors, whose livelihood is largely dependent upon trade with the Spanish enclave, to cross at the Tarajal border checkpoint», states Ansa.med.

The authorities of both Morocco and Spain had jointly decided on the 9th of August to temporarily close the Tarajal border post after migrants had several times attempted to force their way into Ceuta. 260 Sub-Saharans had succeeded to enter the Spanish territory.
