Portugal and Morocco signed an agreement on Wednesday, highlighting legal minutiae for Moroccans to come to live and work in the EU member state. The deal is part of ongoing efforts to fight illegal migration and human trafficking on both sides.
Tunisia has prevented 53 Ivorian and Sudanese citizens from illegally entering the country, according to the country's defence ministry. Meanwhile, an unverified video on Facebook claims that the migrants were left in the desert without any food or water.
Days before the first anniversary of the deal, Turkey's top diplomat has vowed to "cancel" it if the EU fails to deliver on its part of the agreement. Relations with Germany and The Netherlands have taken a dive.
