The visit of Egyptian artist Mohamed Ramadan sparked widespread controversy in Morocco after a video captured a hysterical scene of one of his fans during his visit to an international book fair. In a widely circulated video on social media, a woman and her daughter are seen crying, expressing their joy at meeting him, which subjected them to mockery and severe criticism from online followers who were astonished by the way the mother and daughter expressed their feelings, which was recorded by many cameras. The appearance of the Egyptian artist last Tuesday, alongside Moroccan Minister of Culture Mehdi Bensaid at the book fair in Rabat, received extensive criticism, especially as his visit was accompanied by heavy security.
