Was Morocco complicit in exodus to Ceuta?

from NewsHour · host BBC

Questions are being asked about whether Morocco allowed mass migration to the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, in response to the Spanish prime minister visiting Algeria which opposes Moroccan annexation of the Western Sahara. Also in the programme: Two helicopters responding to wildfires in Greece have collided mid-air, killing both people on board one of the aircraft; and police in Germany are investigating death threats made against a theatre presenting a play about a stranded whale.
