Ceuta warns it is 'on the brink of collapse' as Spain seeks Frontex and Europol help

Meanwhile, Spain's interior minister called for calm after Ceuta residents clashed with police during protests against migrants who have remained in the enclave following a mass influx.

MADRID, Aug 28 - Spain asked on Friday for help from the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) in processing migrants in the North African enclave of Ceuta almost a month after tens of thousands rushed across the border from Morocco.

Spain's government took steps on Tuesday to speed up the return of thousands of migrants still in the Spanish territory of Ceuta following a mass influx from Morocco in July.
