> As many as 5,000 illegal migrants may still be staying in Ceuta, according to an agency report. Juan Jesus Vivas, the head of Ceuta’s government, said the situation had not yet fully returned to normal. Conditions in the Spanish enclave therefore remain unsettled. The assessment points to an incomplete recovery after the border crisis.
