Some 400 sub-Saharans have participated in the jump despite the fact that the forces of the neighboring country have tried unsuccessfully to stop the avalanche
Melilla has registered this morning the first massive jump of immigrants since last March Spain and Morocco considered the diplomatic crisis between the two countries as settled and the security forces of the neighboring country were once again fully employed to avoid the waves against the two African cities .
According to the first information, at least dozens of sub-Saharans would have managed to access Melilla by breaking the access door to the Chinatown border post, a technique that had never been used before and that has surprised the security forces of both countries. The assailant group, perfectly organized and very violent, was originally made up of about 400 people.

This crowd was detected at 6:40 this Friday morning approaching the fence. The anti-intrusion device of the Civil Guard Command has immediately warned and dozens of agents from the armed institute itself, the National Police and Moroccan troops have mobilized, which has not prevented the immigrants two hours later, after violating the door, have entered the national territory in a rush jumping through the roof of the border control.
The ‘without papers’, some of whom have been injured, are being regrouped at the Temporary Stay Center in Melilla.
On Thursday, some 120 Moroccan agents had been injured trying to prevent a large group of immigrants, made up of around half a thousand, from approaching the Melilla border fence in the same area of Chinatown where the door was forced today. One of the agents ended up admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a Nador hospital.
This same group at dawn last Saturday tried for the first time to overwhelm the cordon of the Moroccan security forces. On that occasion, one hundred police officers from the neighboring country were injured.
