A group of young people in the Central African Republic have combined forces with the country’s flagship radio station, Radio Ndeke Luka, to fight for their rights against corrupt officials. The group was planning to study in Morocco on a Moroccan government scholarship scheme.
“We were selected for 2019 because we were the best in our schools,” says Kratos Ngadjama, one of the scholarship students. “During the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a small suspension. Now in 2021, Morocco has updated the file by sending the list of successful candidates, the names of their universities, their cities, including boarding schools.”
30 scholarships were awarded for the 2021-2022 academic year. However, the scholarship holders got wind that some fraudulent manoeuvres were taking place during the process of obtaining visas for Morocco “While Morocco was about to send us the invitations, agents of the general secretariat of scholarships decided to replace us with other people,” says Kratos.
