I thought perhaps she didn't travel to Mexico because of limited funds (unlikely), or had nowhere to stay (unlikely).
It ends up (as we are informed at the end) that Beshir had undergone an operation.
Now, this is very private information to have repeated so publicly. Beshir could have simply told the programmers that due to unforeseen health and other reasons, she couldn't travel to Mexico, and had to participate via zoom.
She wanted people to think that this project brings out the martyr in her. Which is how the Mexican audience took it.
But God is ALWAYS telling us things. Beshir should listen.
Like the few topics that I follow doggedly on this blog, my instincts were right about this one.
