African Union calls for an 'immediate investigation' after the deaths of dozens of migrants trying to cross from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Melilla
Moroccan authorities reported at least 23 people dead while the head of the NGO Walking Borders said at least 37 people lost their lives.
"I express my deep shock and concern at the violent and degrading treatment of African migrants attempting to cross an international border from #Morocco into #Spain, with the ensuing violence leading to the deaths of at least 23 people and injuries to many more," Mahamat said on Twitter late Sunday.
Around 2,000 migrants, many from Sudan, tried to cross the militarised border fence Friday and were met with force from both Moroccan and Spanish authorities.
