Spain backs repatriation deal with Ghana
Spain's cabinet gave the go-ahead on Friday to a repatriation deal with Ghana, which should ease pressure on Spain's North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla by allowing it to send back illegal Ghanaian migrants. Ghanaians were among the hundreds of illegal migrants who stormed the border fences surrounding the Spanish territories earlier this month. Ghanaian nationals are also often among the boatloads of sub-Saharan migrants who try to reach the Spanish Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco, seeking a better life in Europe. Spain's cabinet gave its approval to the agreement that has been negotiated with Ghana. Without repatriation agreements, Spain cannot return migrants to their countries of origin.
