The latest news on the influx of asylum-seekers and other migrants in Europe.
Sweden says it has reached a deal with Morocco on returning unaccompanied minors who don’t qualify for asylum and often end up living on the streets.
Swedish officials say there are hundreds of homeless Moroccan boys in Stockholm and other cities who often get mixed up in crime and drugs.
The Swedes have long urged Morocco to take them back. On Tuesday, the government said it’s reached a deal with the North African country.
The Swedish Justice Ministry said a committee with officials from both countries would be set up to make it easier to identify the boys and send them back.
The announcement comes four days after the Swedish government decided not to recognize a disputed territory in Western Sahara as an independent republic.
