RABAT (Reuters) - King Mohammed VI has instructed Morocco's government to facilitate the re-entry of all unaccompanied but identified Moroccan children who are in the European Union illegally, the government said on Tuesday.

Last month thousands of people crossed into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta from Moroccan territory, escalating a diplomatic dispute between the two countries.
