Relocation of some 300 illegal immigrants from border crossing with Spain’s Melilla to Rabat stirs humanitarian ‚crisis‘ warning.

Under pressure from Spain
Rabat’s policy of relocating sub-Saharan migrants, apparently under pressure from Spain to stem a surge in illegal border crossings, is creating a potential humanitarian crisis, according to NGOs.
Within 48 hours of two massive attempts to storm the border fence into Spain’s North African enclave of Melilla, six buses arrived early Saturday at the main coach station in Rabat, carrying about 300 illegal immigrants.
