Morocco says it was not involved in Ceuta migrant influx

Rabat: Morocco said on Thursday there were “no facts” establishing its involvement in the massive migrant rush into Spain’s North African exclave of Ceuta in July. More than 70,000 migrants entered Ceuta from Morocco on July 30 and 31 in an unprecedented, chaotic surge that left scores dead and sparked European Union infighting over the touchy issue of migration. The Moroccan foreign ministry said there were “no facts or reports proving any involvement by the Moroccan authorities”.
