Why Morocco Didn't Orchestrate Ceuta Crisis? Member of Moroccan Political Bureau Explains
While "misleading information" and trafficking networks fueled the mass movement into Ceuta, available facts suggest Morocco did not plan or organize the crisis, according to Said Bakkali's analysis of the events that he shared with Sputnik Africa.
Key arguments against a Moroccan state conspiracy:
🟠No intelligence evidence: Spanish intelligence has found no link between trafficking networks and the Moroccan government, with some assessments ruling out state planning.
🟠It contradicts the state of Spanish-Moroccan relations: PM Sánchez has invested heavily in ties with Morocco, calling them "among the best in recent decades."
🟠Timing is implausible: The crisis hit during Morocco's Throne Day, when the King and top officials were gathered in the north, making it highly unlikely the state "would intentionally unleash an uncontrollable and potentially deadly crisis in the same region and at the same moment."
🟠Spanish officials acknowledged Moroccan cooperation: Both Sánchez and the Interior Ministry praised Morocco's "exemplary collaboration" and decisive role in bringing the situation under control.
"During the crisis itself, Sánchez avoided accusing Morocco of organizing the events. Instead, he referred to Morocco as an ally," Bakkali added.
