	Melilla border fence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Melilla border fence is a separation barrier between Morocco and Melilla's city, in Spain.
		In September and October 2005, during a crisis of mass intrusions of African immigrants camping on nearby mount Gurugu, the Spanish government decided to rush the height doubling and to add devices to harmlessly slow intruders.
		Morocco has objected to the construction of the barrier, as it considers Melilla to be occupied Moroccan land, and has sought full devolution of the territory since 1975.
