a better life. this is the southernmost outpost of fortress europe. yet it's on mainland africa opposite the straits of gibraltar. mediterranean enclave is one of the last vestiges of spanish rule in northern morocco. it's been european for more than five hundred years and madrid insists it will never relinquish control of. 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. of 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. and within the town of so what

is another divide a social division that is religious and economic that when the wealthy christian spaniards and their poor a muslim compadre it's off moroccan to send. a town of so to is a geographical anomaly. of mainland africa but belonging to europe and. even its geographical position it's no wonder that one of the foremost map makers of the ancient world was born here in ten ninety nine. helped make possible 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. ending up here at the gates of europe. a dollar muna to moment. take a second think that a little problematic. what the migrants find is a double fence. most of it paid for by the european union. four meters high six kilometers long. cable dental balance on the said. in this article the only. effective up there will be not of their own model i mean if you mean you go. to church what the migrants also find is a holding center or their status as refugees is decided and that typically takes

kashmir because of economical problem and in india you know. 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 along 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 fifteenth century which for some gives the issue a religious dimension. and . saying. here's a. little . north. in the going to.

be removed you know mounted on windows. yeah you. got they want to come in. on the surface say what europe is to be a harmonious cosmopolis of the city. but through the middle of it runs a mob of the. invisible. but divides its seventy thousand inhabitants along religious lines. and then let's see. a shot of duffy them again it's a. beautiful souls home.

and. this is the impoverished hillside neighborhood of principally alphonso. disaffected inhabitants cite examples of official neglect contributing to their poverty and despair. this is where the heart of say which is muslims live. and those muslims who feel marginalized make no secret of where their allegiances lie. we. want. every friday they pray for the health and prosperity of the king the king of morocco.

all over. the. television was leaving the scene and that's. a look at how well who work. full time in new amman was surely. born in a home. with the think i see it as us where all six of us or may not be buffeted here in europe or not a home. part of our home. the field heading in medina at any corner that's a thought. and a thought pattern a city here here let's talk for i'll tell you the words you have fifi many hats that i will see mean i let you know you at do know. there was even home

a little bit of the. it's a scene of first communion or often played out in mainland spain the priest officiating doesn't see any divisions between saints is christians and muslims. no no you have outcomes that are you're going to get a lot of you need so many people sitting in the door sort of you know manage it all all that here and there have been a lot of that i think into only that it some we've got a reality following dog and i could you give a more of that in august you know this i will that moving on that i've not been to the moment about maceda you know what i feel what happened to put out the last you know all that is what i mean you know my mind called about you know the fat intake of a low income which i know the money that you know i you want to buy you a low noise but i still favor bessel faith but of which one of my that would be that would be better than. the city of souter is spain's footprint on the very northern tip of africa and five

african migrants show. shortest way into europe. to stop them europe was build a double barbed wire fence it's a modern version of the great wall of china and more recently the birdland wall while those walls relied on heights 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 bad for the truly desperate souter became a stepping stone into continental europe. or in the words.

smart i wonder. if being near a. silver. in the. developed 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 growing demands for a more constructive approach to bring about a lasting solution to the problem of illegal immigration. to get up in a sort of short time and then even to go by say before. because i don't think i think i said. i see a gun i go ahead what i mean. is this i will you know the superb bicycle nothing i'm going to get out of a book on the good things that we have supplies that. valuable data.

do a little bit about some of the money well let's examine that fear if it is. based on mean that because i want to let the other time in. the home but armies. of them. to see those programs in action one has to cross the mainland spade on the other side of the mediterranean. this is the bay of cod these. are on the twenty fifth of october two thousand and three local man was shocked by the sight of thirty five male corpses washed ashore

close to his home twelve of them were from the same rock with the need. to see. the corpses of young people. here in the fistfight. for four 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 i'm displaying there reeks of illegal immigration adverted tame data

he took courses bericht. again i mean for them rafael kiddo's 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 and some he's constantly encouraging others to join him. easily that you have your town we all are volunteers we're spending our all money we put our cars our own work we don't have theft of. money public money because we've seen that people have to shamed inside when people are chained inside it is able to change their world. 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 one salah who wanted to cross browser here and. 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 costs taxpayers in spain two thousand euros every time that a drowned man is sent back in

a coffin. so far better to spend that in developing the migrants place of already. well adoption of sorts that others can emulate we wanted to make for on their home soil or a good place to live because it is how good a place to live. we have started building a small clinic or classroom for the children. we have started to given them. grass roots in order to avoid that a little children working there in the country because we are there 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 there is a possibility that if they try to any rate because they don't 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 fortress europe. souter's barbed wire barrier may for a time at least stop the flow. but it does nothing to remove jewelry on the line was. a different era in our era 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 even. in order to stop illegal immigration we have to shane our mentality prior to the mentality have to shane too in africa

because they are in africa. they have to understand they have to work protecting their old me interest in developing their own economies. is a radical shift in our thinking realize ation the wars the. sooner or later the difference in sofa is going down sooner or later because france fancies a top layer of people. from many years i go up to no people they meet great. easy going to hop in their time in the future so france is. not to the. east to all prim i was hot because mainframes it's places inside our hog.

the film you've just seen was first broadcast almost ten years ago when the number of migrant deaths from spanish territory had reached its peak. the world's 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. spain's response was to stiffen its border security but despite all the effort and expense spent on beefing up its buddhas 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 sometimes the consequence is a tragic. on one occasion and say uta and twenty fourteen at least fourteen african migrants drowned when trying to swim their way from morocco to spain. these pictures show spanish buddha guts firing rubber bullets and smoke canisters to would survive this as they swim across the border. those who made it a life were deported 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 claimed 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 europe's buddhas by the sea from libya to italy and from taki to greece and then continuing overland to europe's more affluent countries. these scenes of from hungary as refugees attempt to travel west out of humans where the humanity where the world to see us look everyone here they are fatherless we don't need anything just a troll just. not out of the deal just good luck on the new world is going to be a good joke. in response europe is building moves today there are five existing fences across the continent with at least one of the. six either in construction scheduled.

most of these rules separate e.u. nations from countries outside the union but some fences a planned between member states a move that's 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. 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 the border in the sea i was standing on one leg and raising my son on the other while in order to get him up from the water because the water was still here . a new perspective can change. what began as a hobby has grown into a passion a way of life. teaching the next generation to strive for a higher level. and in so installing in his country a sense of freedom and strength. new heights my chin is yet on al-jazeera. when this idea. that

whether online it's undoubtedly chief. over the inequality in society today or if you join a sunset criminal justice system is dysfunctional right now this is a dialogue what does it feel like to go back for the first time everyone has a voice about refugees to people speakers for change join the conversation.

civilians injured in attacks on rebel held territory the nonprofit volunteer risky group operated in opposition held areas and has been backed by the u.s. and other western countries for many of the volunteers who left this is the first time in years they won't be confronted with casualties of war. got four zero. stephanie decker joins me live now from the occupied golan heights stephanie so how are things going with this evacuation. well that area command is north of where we are the buses are leaving to the north the northern part of syria part of these many what they call so-called reconciliation deals that the government is making forcing the rebels to accept really and those who are not happy with it are bost their safety is said to be guaranteed to areas like the province or really the only area that is left under opposition control in this

southwestern area rachele is the area behind us this area is controlled by an isolated group so there is no deal in the making for that now we've been witnessing over the last couple of hours heavy airstrikes we've also seen the jets in the sky the first time i've certainly certainly seen them that close and dropping bombs on this village and there's a mountain further behind us and constantly bombardment there so what we're being told certainly is this battle is firmly under way we could really call it the final battle for this area the entire southwestern area in southern syria that the government is now really solidifying taking back these huge swathes of land from the rebels and seventy some of the iranian fighters that are in syria earn not happy or they're pushing back against these deals they swap sort of allowed some of the rebels to leave what else can you tell us about that. this happened a little earlier today and what we understand from activists is that some of these

buses have been leaving command with rebels and their families were stopped by iranian backed militias close to homes as they are making their way north what activists are saying that they're not happy with the deal between russia and israel what is going on along this border certainly and that is because israel the only concern israel has is to get iranian troops in iranian backed troops away from its borders here it's difficult to confirm but it highlights the complexity of this war richelle and how many different international players they are and what you're seeing now really is the final phase we can hear the jets in the sky of consolidating power of deals behind the table with these different countries particularly russia with you know yvonne with israel with the u.s. interests with turkey's interests it really you know many syrians will tell you that they feel that they are the ones that have the least say in the future of their country. stephanie decker live for us and the occupied golan heights thanks
