On the eve of the assault on Ceuta, the Spanish intelligence services warned Morocco, the government's delegation in the autonomous city, and the Guardia Civil that a call was gaining traction on social media with thousands of followers. The warning highlighted a movement that was building momentum on social media.
The call on social media managed to gather thousands of people for the assault on the city of Ceuta, which is a Spanish enclave on Moroccan territory. This fact demonstrates that there was prior knowledge by the authorities about the preparation of the incident.
The Spanish intelligence services played an alerting role by informing various entities, including the government in Rabat, before the event occurred. However, this warning failed to prevent the assault from taking place.
The incident involved the Spanish authorities, the Spanish intelligence services, the Moroccan government, and the Guardia Civil, all of whom had been warned in advance about the imminent threat through social media. Ceuta, as a Spanish autonomous city on Moroccan territory, was the stage for this event that generated tensions between the two countries.
