MUSLIM MOROCCANS LIVEHOOD

MUSLIM MOROCCANS LIVEHOOD


  November 10,2010 

Every day about 30,000 Moroccans file through the nearby Moroccan settlement of Beni Ansar to border checkpoints and into the enclave. Once there, they buy as much as they can carry — usually clothes, shoes, toilet paper, cleaning products — and file back out of Melilla. They then sell the goods at markets and pavement stalls throughout Morocco. It is a profitable business because, with no tax or customs duty to pay, goods in Melilla cost about half the price charged in Morocco. Spanish customs officers patrolling the border generally let Moroccans through with their goods as long as they are not moving industrial quantities, which is why most of the packages are piled high on bicycles or carried on peoples’ backs. – Photos by Reuters.
