Is Morocco using migration as a bargaining chip against the EU?

Tensions between Morocco and Spain rose last week with the arrival of more than 8,000 migrants in Spain through the border with the city of Ceuta.
The mass arrival of migrants that overwhelmed Spanish border guards occurred after Spain allowed for Brahim Ghali, who played a key role in the fight for the independence of Western Sahara, to be treated medically in the country.
But last Wednesday, Morocco put an end to the migratory exodus as Reuters reported that Ghali had been handed a June 1 summons to war crime court in Spain.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Monday that Spain is an ally of Morocco at the EU's council summit.
