A wave of outrage has swept through Moroccan social media after the Math&Maroc organization revealed that the Kingdom’s national mathematics team was unable to compete in the 2024 International Mathematics Olympiad in England due to “visa processing delays.” The organization claims that Moroccan officials have thwarted the team’s participation, by not processing their visa applications in time.

On a Facebook post that has gone viral, Math&Maroc expressed deep disappointment at the situation. “What saddens us most is that six brilliant Moroccan students, chosen among the best high school students across the country, have undergone rigorous selection processes over the past three years were denied of their dream to represent Morocco at the International Mathematics Olympiad.”
