The Siege of Sidi Ifni was a military operation between Morocco and Spain in which the initial Moroccan attacks were generally successful. Within two weeks, the Moroccans and their tribal allies had established control over most of Ifni, isolating the interior Spanish units from the capital. Simultaneous attacks were launched throughout the Spanish Sahara, interspersed with overruns of garrisons and ambushes of convoys and patrols.[citation needed]
