On Monday, Moroccans living in the UK and others stranded there for months observed a sit-in before the Moroccan consulate to protest against the high prices of Covid-19 tests required to enter Morocco and the flight tickets.
Moroccan nationals, residents and students planning to travel to Morocco have been struggling to afford Covid-19 testing in the UK. Forced to undergo a PCR and antibody tests before boarding, these travelers may be forced to pay up to £ 300 each before entering Morocco.
Moroccans stranded in southern Spain were faced with a difficult choice : returning to Morocco while leaving their vehicles behind, or staying without being able to benefit from financial aid and accommodation.
