> Spain has asked Frontex to help process about 5,000 migrants who entered the North African enclave of Ceuta a month ago, requesting 10 additional officers. Residents have protested their presence, camps have been attacked and set alight, and 12 migrants were arrested after stones were thrown at an army vehicle.
