To the north of the African continent on the border between Nador and Melilla, which divides Morocco and Spain, dozens of immigrants died on June 24, one of the worst tragedies recorded on these borders. Very few days have passed since these events but nothing seems to have happened or changed around here, little is said about the subject and on both sides of the border everything takes place in silence and under an atmosphere of suspicion and caution by those who want to know something further. of the official versions of the two governments.
After the human tide that on June 24 overflowed on the metal fence that separates Morocco and Spain, the governments of both countries have endeavored to minimize the events that occurred were 24 people officially lost their lives.

The police of both countries have initiated a strong control to control the information and thus avoid leaks of unofficial information. On both sides of the border, it is very difficult to find migrants or people who want to talk, everyone is worried and afraid of the increased security measures by the security forces.
