The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco to Ghana has strongly debunked the fake video being insidiously circulated on some social media platforms, falsely alleging that Moroccan law enforcement has supposedly killed several hundred migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa.
In a statement released to media houses, the Embassy stressed the non-veracity of the video stressing that it is inconceivable that an event of such alleged magnitude could have taken place without being reported by international media agencies.
Indeed, given the seriousness of these allegations, major global news outlets, human rights organizations and observers would have immediately investigated and exposed the truth.
The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco to Ghana encouraged the public to treat this disinformation campaign designed to tarnish the image of Morocco and incite division among African nations, with the disregard and contempt it deserves.
The Embassy further highlighted that Morocco, has always been and remains fully committed to strengthening its cooperation with African nations, based on mutual respect, cooperation, and shared prosperity.
“The Ghanaian nationals living currently in Morocco, 275 of whom are students, can testify to this unwavering commitment,” the Embassy said.
The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco also informed the public that it will engage with the Ghanaian authorities to investigate the origin of the video circulating and that it reserves its rights to seek legal action against individuals or entities behind this unscrupulous fake news campaign.
