Migrants depart Spain's N. Africa enclave as EU tightens borders
Almost all of the tens of thousands of migrants who entered Spain's enclave of Ceuta in North Africa had left by Saturday, officials said, as some EU countries bolstered their border controls over the sudden influx.
Some 60,000 migrants entered Ceuta over just a few days from neighbouring Morocco, the enclave's regional president Juan Jesus Vivas told reporters, but by Friday evening Spain's interior ministry said more than 48,000 had already returned.
