In the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in North Africa, by the end of the week the city no longer looked like a city on edge, but the events of the week were still on everyone's minds. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Most of the 60,000 migrants who swam, scrambled and later charged into the tiny Spanish exclave in North Africa this week had walked back to Morocco by Sunday.
Residents' protests
Ceuta residents demonstrated against the arrival of Spanish far-right politician Alvise Pérez. He waved a Spanish flag while under police protection, and residents protested his presence.
Also, Ceuta residents gathered for a counterprotest against a rally by a far-right nationalist and racist movement.
Rescue operations and return
Guardia Civil officers recovered the body of a migrant from the water in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Escorted by the Spanish army, migrants who crossed into Spain returned to Morocco from Ceuta.
These events were captured in photos by Associated Press photographers Bernat Armangue and Antonio Sempere.
Conclusion
The situation in Ceuta is gradually stabilizing, but the week's events will remain in the memory of the city's residents for a long time. Despite the return of most migrants, the city is still dealing with the aftermath of this incident.
