BUSH and UNITED NATION, including other West African leaders for my husband
to stepdown and leave the country, but he refused then, due to some certian
selfish reasons, that controlled almost all the African leaders, and he has
been fighting for his own interest which was not of my interest,surport and
intention.Even though his people which he was claiming that he was fighting
to protect, did not want him.
Based on this issue I, my son and my daughter whom did not support my
husband's interest and did not want to suffer the Accusation of war crime on

not have access to this money, due to the condition and themes of ASSYLUM
SEEKER, did not give us access to do anything or to invest in the country
and we do not enjoy some certian right becuase the SOUTH AFRICAN foreign
policy does not allow ASSYLUM SEEKERS to own an investment nor to operate
