He described the meeting as “fruitful and assuring”.

Mr Ablakwa stated that the Moroccan Ambassador assured that Ghanaians and all Africans living in Morocco are safe contrary to the widely circulated videos on social media falsely claiming that some 700 Africans are being massacred.

“Apparently, the footage in issue is an old 24th June, 2022 border incident which led to the tragic, unfortunate and condemnable loss of 23 lives. That deplorable incident has since been investigated by Moroccan and Spanish authorities.

“It is worth noting that no Ghanaian casualty was recorded,” he wrote on his X.

He added “Her assurances come at a time the Kingdom of Morocco has decided to double scholarships for Ghanaian students from 90 to 180 beginning this year.”

Morocco and Ghana have also agreed to initiate a visa waiver agreement for all category of travelers from both countries, Mr Ablakwa further stated.
