Newly released classified files reveal that Spanish and Moroccan officials received advance warnings about coordinated social media appeals urging a large-scale migrant crossing into Ceuta just hours before the event unfolded. The documents suggest authorities were aware of the planned movement but did not take visible preventive measures ahead of the surge.

The disclosures could reshape discussions on border security and cross-border coordination in the region.
