Accra, Mar 16, GNA – The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco to Ghana wishes to alert about some fake news being insidiously circulated on some social media platforms, falsely alleging that Moroccan law enforcement has supposedly killed several hundred migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Embassy wishes to stress that it is inconceivable that an event of such alleged magnitude could have taken place without being reported by international media agencies. 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 denounces in the strongest terms this disinformation campaign and encourages the general public to treat this fake news with the disregard and contempt it deserves.
This disinformation campaign is designed to tarnish the image of Morocco and incite division and must be firmly rejected.
Morocco, as an African country, 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 of the Kingdom of Morocco will engage with the Ghanaian authorities to investigate the origin of the video circulating and reserves its rights to seek legal action against individuals or entities behind this unscrupulous fake news campaign.
