The online network coordinating crossings to Ceuta
Gone quiet since
Where it stands
Spanish fact-checkers mapped a working network coordinating crossings from Morocco to Ceuta, identifying more than 50 Instagram accounts and at least four WhatsApp groups. The reports do not say whether the network has stopped coordinating crossings or been dismantled, so its status remains open as of 2026-08-08.

Deaths at Ceuta Followed Days of Open Organizing Online
Thousands moved on Ceuta after days of open organizing on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp. More than 70 died — and investigators still cannot name who lit the fuse.
Still open after this report
- No verified organizer, funding source, or total number of accounts behind the mobilization has been established.
- Whether paid advice accounts caused crossings or exploited demand created elsewhere remains unresolved.
