The Spanish government was warned one day before the massive entry of migrants into Ceuta, according to available information. The warnings received mentioned groups with 180,000 followers and alerted to possible actions both by sea and through the fence separating Spanish territory from Morocco.
The situation directly involved Spanish and Moroccan authorities, in a context of border tension in the city of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave located on the north African coast.
Subsequent reports indicated that there was negligence and passivity on the part of Moroccan forces in responding to this migratory crisis. These forces are responsible for controlling the land and maritime border in the surrounding area of Ceuta.
The incident represented one of the biggest migratory crises on the southern European border, with political and diplomatic consequences between Spain and Morocco.
