Death on the Border – BBC Africa Eye documentary


In June 2022, shocking videos started circulating online, showing violent clashes between African migrants and Moroccan border guards. They were filmed on a tiny piece of land where Morocco meets Spain – a gateway into Europe – and show the bodies of African migrants being thrown to the ground, beaten and crushed. Twenty-four people died in…

  1. So they can't seek Asylum in all those countries they passed through to reach the boarder. As Africans we need to start making this content a beautiful land to stay in.

  2. As a migrant myself, what i can say is the grass looks greener on the other side. But that is not always the case.
    Before you migrate to any part of the world, please do it legally.
    Your life is worthless out of your home country.
    It is better to die fighting at home than to be killed like a dog in a foriegn country.
    The energy you used to reach that border if you put it in something productive it will produce fruits.
    The beauty of Europe is only on the TV. There is real misery and suffering there too.
    So brethren, it is not worth it.

  3. makes me feel morocco isn’t a safe place to visit.

    let us judge our countries by how we handle and manage immigration- most vulnerable people.

    don’t separate families. don’t commit violent acts.

    if it were your family desperately escaping your country, how would you like to be received?

    also, if you are a police officer, understand your power and do not do harm. do not hurt human beings. how do you live with yourselves when you harm others?

  4. Some of the officers we’re trying to do their job but not injure or torture people ( thank god ) .. but majority of them were beasts clearly enjoying butchering innocent people. I cannot believe the barbarism demonstrated when I watch these films. It’s sickening no matter how many times I see them.. the hate the evil that’s perpetrated. Surely there’re better more humane ways in all these cases. I look at how countries treat there poorest most vulnerable people and that’s demonstrates what that country stands for in my opinion.

  5. So, I get it 2,000 armed mainly men stormed the sovereign territory of Spain – and that will provoke a violent response, as well as accidental deaths (such as the fence collapsing)

    But, 300 made it on to Spanish soil and then were deported back to Moroccan soil by Moroccan police –
    In direct contravention of EU law.

    Why is that not discussed in more detail here – that is actually an international crime

  6. Stand up African People. Make your elected officials work for you. That is their job. If 2000 people shown the same degree of forcing their own countries to act on their behalf. African would be a very rich place. The fact you walk to any other country shouldn't be your goal. Make Africa Great. Make it a place people can hold their heads up with pride. You think storming other countries with Sharpened sticks & being aggressive is going to work? You think the BBC Editing of this incident is fooling any one? You're deluded. Morocco & Spain have a right to control who comes into their country. Respect it. This is a battle you will not win regardless of Human Rights Lawyers sponging off your backs. They do not care about you. Just making money off your misery. Get wise. Make your home great.

  7. This is so inhuman and very sad how can you treat your fellow human beings as such especially when they mean no harm they just want to have a better life because they fleeing conflicts from their individuals countries. 😢😔😔😔
