Security expert Ihsan El Hafidi has criticized the Moroccan government’s slow reaction to recent events in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave bordering Morocco. He argues this delay in communication mirrors previous instances, including the aftermath of the Al Haouz earthquake and protests in Fnideq. El Hafidi, appearing on "Hespress Dialogue," asserts the government’s silence allowed Spanish narratives to dominate the discourse surrounding the Ceuta situation. He suggests this is not accidental, but a systemic issue with governmental communication strategy. The expert believes a prompt and assertive response could have better managed the crisis and countered Spanish perspectives. This lack of reactivity ultimately ceded the narrative control to Spain, potentially damaging Morocco's position. The delayed response underscores a broader concern regarding the government's handling of sensitive and strategic events.
