Over 5000 people died between libya and italy or turkey and greece. The following film was 1st broadcast in 2007 well before todays conflicts in the middle east. Then many european migrants were using another less publicized route to a better life. This is the southernmost outpost of for chris europe. Yet its on mainland africa opposite the straits of gibraltar. Mediterranean enclave is one of the last vestiges of spanish rule in northern morocco. Its been european for more than 500 years and madrid insists it will never relinquish control. To. The recent visit by the spanish monarch highlighted the ongoing tension over the status and future of soda. Spain has also cordoned it off from playing comparison with another war in another place so here we are in. But i see that. The list. Like what about. The crossing between morocco and spain has become a magnet for tens of thousands of workers and migrants legal and illegal. But this is the back door into the Prosperous European Union and the hope of a better economic future. But within the town of so it is another divide a social division that is religious and economic that when the wealthy christian spaniards and their poor a muslim compadre its off moroccan descend. The town of soto is a geographical anomaly parts of mainland africa but belonging to europe and. Even its geographical position its no wonder that one of the foremost map makers of the ancient world was born here in 1099. 00. Out. Of all the great voyages of discovery which led to colonize ation and as in the case of soto the presence of europe in africa. Once again economic opportunism is the prime mover but now the migration is in the opposite direction. As those who were formerly colonized head north riven by war wound and oppression.

There are people who are allowed into from africa and it takes them only a few minutes every day thousands of moroccans trudged past the deserted guard posts that separate the spanish enclave from morocco. The bundles of soap clothes and oil they carry home for resale in morocco and not entirely legal traffic. But the spanish authorities turn a blind eye knowing how profitable this trade is to the city. This cross border trade is alone with an old relationship built on mistrust and suspicion between spain and morocco over say. It goes back to the collapse of muslim rule in spain at the end of the 15th century which for some gives the issue a religious dimension. And. Heres a. Little more thought. You know a little. North.

The city of souter is spains footprint on the very northern tip of africa and 5 african migrants. The shortest way into europe. To stop them europe was build a double barbed wire fence its a modern version of the great wall of china and more recently the birdland wall while those walls relied on height and guards to keep outsiders at but a spanish fans bristles with electronic surveillance gear but the purpose is the same. Offense it replaced much lower was too easily breached with the result of the truly desperate souter became a stepping stone into continental europe. Wonder were. Doing. Right here i wonder. If my being you know. So over. The. World is. Those who still charms their luck wait in the surrounding forests but if court they are transported back to their countries of origin by the moroccan north already. Now though there are a growing demand for a more constructive approach to bring about a lasting solution to the problem of illegal immigration. Sort of for a time and then even to interrupt i say before. Because i dont think i think i said that here. I said aint going to go ahead. On that i feel that and that is this ability of the superb bicycle nothing im going to get out of a book on the good thing and so were you surprised. By that. I do a little bit about some of the money well lets examine that fear if it is. Placed on me in there because i want to let the other time in me notable than if it up here. At home but im using. The. Box to see those programs in action when asked across the mainland spade on the other side of the mediterranean. This is the bay of card is. That on the 25th of october 2003 local man was shocked by the sight of 35 male corpses washed ashore close to his home 12 of them were from the same rockabilly. To see. The corpse of young people. Here in the fistfight. For 4 hours it was a very. Heavy experience. When we found that people we take our cars with our own money and we went to morrow we were to find their people from him but he made out because benny morale is up plays with our high trade or any ration and we decided to go there im displaying their reaks or for illegal immigration of british tame data he took courses in bericht. I meant. To get mean for them rafael kiddos who is a School Teacher decided to take action he founded a charity called solly that is that director to ensure that the little moroccan village of. Does not lose any more of its husbands in some hes constantly encouraging others to join him. Easily that you have your town we all are volunteers were spending our own money we put our cars our own worth we dont have theft of. Money public money because weve seen that people have to shamed inside when people change inside it is able to change their work. And the change that rafael and his charity is aiming to bring about is in the minds of hansal of residents who still view migration as their only salvation paying little attention to the well known perils. Even know when. To cross a. Router was very dangerous and that many of their friends and parents were dead because of that sound of their young people from hans salah who wanted to cross gibraltarian here. But what makes the approach of this charity so innovative is not its idealism but its pragmatism in linking the economic interests of Spanish Citizens with the wellbeing of those in a remote iraq and village. It cost taxpayers in spain 2000 euros every time that a drowned man is sent back in a coffin. So far better to spend that in developing the migrants play. Of origin an adoption of sorts that others can emulate we wanted to make for on their home soil or a good place to live because they eat these are good places to live. We have started building a small clinic or classroom for the children. We have started to given them some grass roots in order to avoid to adopt a little children working there in the country because we are in theirs to pick up this bird turned up a little she and remain in the school where again because if they are working in the country here there is a possibility that if they try to any rate because they dont get enough money to leave but if they are sturdy they have a possibility of developing. This imaginative Grassroots Initiative is it all with the fencing and policing approach favored by the european governments of europe. South as barbed wire barrier may for a time at least stop the flow. But it does nothing to remove the injury underlying causes. A different era in our area something artificial. And at the end it is not go into a stop there people it is not going to stop or even ration it is can control illegal immigration but it is not going to a stop or eat. In order to stop illegal immigration we have to shane our mentality prior to the mentality have to change to in africa because they. Not freakout they have to understand they have to work protecting their own interest in developing their own economies. Is a radical shift in our thinking realize ation the quarrels the. Differences in sofia is going down sooner or later because france fancies a top people. From many years i go up to no people they meet great. And easy going to hop in their time in the future so france is. Not to the. East to all prime i was hot because there mainframes its places inside. The film youve just seen it was 1st broadcast almost 10 years ago when the number of Migrant Deaths from spanish territory had reached its peak. The worlds media only started to take notice when the drowned audience of african migrants began washing ashore on the tourist beaches of the spanish canary islands. Spains response was to stiffen its Border Security but despite all the effort and expense spent on beefing up its buddhist migration is on the rise. Migrants hoping to be among the lucky few to reach the other side have often rushed the border fence shown in the c. C. T. V. Footage released by the Spanish Government some. Times the consequence is a tragic. On one occasion and say you to and 2014 at least 14 african migrants drowned when trying to swim their way from morocco to spain. These pictures show spanish buddha gods firing rubber bullets and smoke canisters toward survivors as they swim across the border. Those who made it a life were to put it back to morocco on the other side of the. A spokesperson from the Spanish Ministry of interior said that shots fired one aimed at the swimmers and claim their response was proportional. Today this is no longer an issue isolated in a faraway spanish and played. The number of people hoping to reach europe has swelled by huge wave of refugees from was in syria iraq and afghanistan. Thousands of people attesting europes buddhas by the sea from libya to italy and from taki to greece and then continuing overland to europes more affluent countries. These scenes of from hungary as refugees attempt to travel west we are humans where the humanity where the world to see us look everyone here they are fatherless we dont need anything just a troll its. Just good luck on top of the world is going to be a good joke. In response europe is building moves today there are 5 existing fences across the continent with at least one of the 6 either in construction scheduled. Most of these rules separate e. U. Nations from countries outside the union but some. Fences a plant between Member States a move thats against the spirit of the e. U. According to the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief europe was built on the idea that walls have to fall down europe was built on the idea of coming together. That are more refugees and migrants travelling around the ward within africa within asia than those that are coming to europe this to say we have as europeans to put things in perspective and to realize that it is not only a european phenomenon it is a global move. Starting from wars conflicts poverty natural disasters Climate Change it is the world that is going in that direction people move out of desperation out of hope and we have to learn how to manage this. Without a political solution in sight migrants and refugees remain undeterred taking on increasingly dangerous routes into europe. When we where in that border in the sea i was standing on one leg and raising my son on the other one in order to get him up from the water because the water was still here.
