Thousands to march in Spain for freedom for Western Sahara
Spanish security forces expel migrants from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, at the border of Morocco and Spain

THOUSANDS are expected to join marches leaving four Spanish cities tomorrow in support of the people of Western Sahara, as relations between Madrid and Morocco continue to deteriorate.

The March for the Freedom of the Sahrawi People is calling for independence for Western Sahara, 80 per cent of which is occupied by Moroccan troops.

More than 400 social organisations are supporting the marches, which are expected to arrive for a rally in Madrid on June 18 before sending a delegation to the Foreign Ministry.
