Spanish intelligence agencies warn Moroccan counterparts and the Spanish government about planned large-scale migrant crossings into Ceuta the day before tens of thousands enter the Spanish enclave, according to reporting based on intelligence information.
The BBC reports that declassified documents show the alert is linked to calls circulating on social media, which Spanish and Moroccan authorities monitor ahead of the surge. Sky News similarly says Spanish spies provide warnings to Morocco and to Madrid ahead of the mass movement.
Across the outlets, the key common elements are the timing of the warnings (the day before the crossing), the involvement of Spanish and Moroccan intelligence and government channels, and the focus on a Ceuta-bound migrant surge. The reporting differs in emphasis: Sky highlights the fact of the warnings and coordination, while the BBC specifies the use of declassified records and the role of social-media calls in triggering the alerts.
