Biniam Girmay and four of his fellow Eritreans denied visas to the UK.
Edit: Unconfirmed as of yet. All other sources quote GCN. But if it’s true, WTF…

That is simply absurd, if true
Not surprising actually, visas are hard, Eritrea is basically African North Korea, and Brexit doesn’t help. Hell, Powless missed Worlds last year after his visa came through 20 minutes late, and that was US and Australia
Stupid. Love girmay…hope this gets worked out in time for him and his country men to compete.
Still not confirmed, but Girmay withdrew: https://intermarche-circus-wanty.eu/news/biniam-girmay-worlds/
