Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Imane Ouaadil and Okudzeto Ablakwa
Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has assured the people of Ghana that Morocco is safe.
According to him, there is no cause for alarm for Ghanaians.
In a post on social media, he said Ghanaians living in Morrocco can be assured that they have no cause for worry.
Ablakwa’s assurance comes as Ghana plays Madagascar on Monday in the 2026 World Cup qualifier in the North African country.
His post read, “ I have held fruitful and assuring discussions with the Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil.
She has 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. Moroccan and Spanish authorities have since investigated that regrettable incident. It is worth noting that no Ghanaian casualty was recorded.
Her assurances come at a time when 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 categories of travellers from both countries. The agreement will be presented to our Parliaments for ratification shortly.
We have both additionally pledged to deepen collaboration in Agribusiness, Tourism and Security”.
