The EU is coming under increasing pressure to revise its current approach to asylum and migration after sub-Saharan African immigrants died trying to cross over into Spanish territory. Over the past two weeks, some 2,000 people have tried to cross the border at Ceuta and Melilla into Spanish territory by storming the fences that surround these two cities located on the North African coast adjacent to Morocco. African Union (AU) leader Alpha Konaré who was in Brussels for the launch of a new EU policy on Africa told the EU executive that the bloc must not build prison fences around Africa.
