They arrived three days after 500 other migrants managed to break the gates in the border fence. Fleeing poverty and violence, hundreds of sub-Saharan African migrants attempt to cross from Morocco into Ceuta and Melilla, the other Spanish enclave in North Africa. The office of the central government's envoy in Ceuta said the migrants crossed at around 3am local time, through a gate that was damaged last Friday.
