00:01Dozens of Warby migrants, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, were intercepted on Saturday in northern Morocco, near the border with
00:09the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
00:11This comes two weeks after thousands of migrants rushed into the tiny island, hoping to access Europe.
00:18Speaking to journalists, some of the migrants made their intentions clear.
00:24I want to get to Ceuta. There's no work here. There's no health care in Morocco.
00:30In Ceuta, in Europe, people are better care of folks.
00:34There's no work here. There's no money. There's no housing. There's absolutely nothing. I swear.
00:42I wish to come to Europe because my country of origin, Sudan, is plagued by problems and insecurity.
00:50According to local reports in Morocco, 294 people were arrested, 46 of them Moroccans and the rest from sub-Saharan
00:57Africa.
00:58Moroccan authorities had announced on Wednesday measures to count on other potential infarcts of migrants to Ceuta,
01:04following a new wave of online disinformation, saying the border will be open.
01:09Some media reports say that the authorities in recent days had arrested more than 60 people,
01:14accused of inciting or promoting irregular migration on social media.
