RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Moroccans stranded abroad since their country abruptly grounded flights due to the coronavirus two months ago were holding protests in multiple countries Monday to beg their government to let them back home.

While many countries closed their borders to foreigners as the virus pandemic erupted, Morocco went a step farther, and barred its own citizens from coming home, too. The government fears an influx of imported infections could overwhelm the North African country’s hospital system.
