🇪🇸🇲🇦 700 migrants attempt to enter Spain's Ceuta thwarted by Moroccan authorities
Moroccan authorities dispersed Friday night over 700 sub-Saharan immigrants along Ceuta’s border perimeter.
The migrants attempted to enter the city earlier by jumping the double border fence.
Riot control materials were used by the Moroccan agents to move approximately 300 immigrants away from the fence, preventing their approach.
The migrants reportedly used knives and other sharp objects to try to access Spanish territory. All participants in the attempt were arrested and some of the alleged organizers and instigators were brought to justice.
None of the migrants managed to enter Ceuta and only two of them managed to reach the fence, but they were captured by the Moroccan security services.

🇿🇼 Banking sector in Zimbabwe faces 75% job decrease since 2000
The Zimbabwe Banks and Allied Workers Union (ZIBAWU) reports that 75% of jobs in the sector have been lost since the beginning of the millennium.
This decline is attributed to a combination of accelerated digitization and socio-political challenges facing the nation over the past two decades.
"The congress coincided with extremely difficult operating conditions, which have constrained our ability to effectively serve our members. The economy, experiencing stagnation for decades, has taken a significant toll on trade unionism," said trade unionist Peter Mutasa.
Mutasa highlighted the decline in membership from a peak of 12,000 in the late 1990s to approximately 3,000 at present.
