Spanish information services issued an alert on the day before the massive entry of migrants in Ceuta, a Spanish city in north Africa. This alert was not sufficient to prevent the migratory crisis that followed.
Spanish security forces noted that Moroccan agents showed unusual passivity during the migratory crisis, not intervening as would be expected to contain the flow of people crossing the border.
Ceuta is a Spanish autonomous city located on the Mediterranean coast of north Africa, separated from Spanish territory by the Strait of Gibraltar, which makes it a strategic point and frequently used as a migratory route between Africa and Europe.
