CHAPTER ONE: ABC+D
The reporter Mr. Kenny Bean just returned from the Amazon forest in South America after being lost for many days.
On his returned in England before editing all his finding went to his postal box.
He got many letters and advertising pamphlets in his postal box. With all the dust in the box that haven't been touched for many months, trying to choose and select import mail.
Surprise, he got two letter where it was written: "Don't open. To open when I am gone" Then trying to go against the warning writing in red of the top of the two big mail. He read again another writing in the other letter: "a third letter on his way"
The reporter wondered why a letter his sent to him and at the same time contains a warning not to read immediately. He got scared and afraid thinking that a small bomb may be included on the mail. The world has changed so much that people don�t know anymore where, how, who and when a bomb can be planted.
He had an idea of calling the anti bomb squad to detect the letter.
By curiosity, he tried to touch the letter here and there to figure out if any metallic material may be inside and may detect the bomb. While touching the letter in noticed that he was only document.
He hesitated whether to take home or not the warning mail. As a journalist and reporter he decided to take the letter with him saying to himself: "I survived in the dangerous Bush with snaked and swallowing animal in Amazon and I don't see two simple letters taking my life."
He looked at the back trying to see the sender saw only the names:
Professor Steve Rowan.
He wondered again. If the letter was dangerous why the sender wrote his name at the back but not giving is address?
It was one of the reasons to stop suspecting the two mails. Then he realize that the name Steve Rowan mean something. He cannot figure out who is but it is a familiar name.
May be because he spends many days in forest in South America he forgot who that person was.
He tried to think and see who Steve Rowan was but couldn't find. He has interviewed thousand of people in his career.
He wondered why Steve Rowan was so interested in him sending him those two big mail?
"Why only me but not others?"
He then restraint from opening the two mails but took them with him with others mail. He has to catch up all the time he was away from his wife, friend and his office.
He has a big explanation to his news agency in London. The trip was meant for two months but the main went missing for nine months sending a panic wave that he may have been swallowed by an anaconda the dangerous snake in the Amazon forest.
Meanwhile Prof. Steve Rowan got a late visit of two of his medical students. The man was 82 years old but was more involved in the research. He has almost retired from teaching.
A die hard medical researcher let in the two students in his house. The room was full of documents every where. All the sit where full of the document in an old style room.
Nowhere to walk without seeing the documents. The old man was a genius on his own. He let the student in his living room for a while.
The two medical students where charting: "He has the formula."
"That formula will make us very rich and famous." The old man does not need money he may die any time soon by the blow of the wind.
"Today is the day."
"We will be rich more than Bill gate and all the oil super rich."
The old man comes to meet the two students. Caring many document on him: "Young men how I can help you."
The two students kept quiet for a while. Then while trying to wear the glasses and open the document.
He saw the two student wearing gloves on their hands.
He asked one more time: "What can I do for you?"
One of the student said: "Prof. We want the formula."
The old man who had made many researches in life has many formulas with him in a career of more than 50 years. He told the young students: "They are many formulas."
He didn't know why the student wore gloves. He had a mini laboratory even in his house. He was living alone. His wife passed away ten years ago. His two sons where medical doctors too. He had also four grand children doctors.
Because he was too old to go often to university. He had a mini laboratory in his house.
One of the students told him: "Prof. Steve" the students said "you know the formula that no one has in the world. The most wanted formula. You know it."
The old man Steve Rowan answered: "All my life and everything is formulas."
The other student was little bit rude: "Prof. Time is running out. You have kept the formula with you while millions of people are dying."
The old man sat on his chair. And started explaining to the visitors: "My boys" the professor said "a formula is a process. When the right time will come the world will know it. My life was to contribute on the well being of the people. Death will always be there and will always exist even with millions of scientific formula."
He tries to look at the visitors. One of them this time was holding a gun. Trying to figure out the scene. He heard one of the students saying: "No time for philosophy. We want the formula right now and here."
They taught that Steve Rowan will be scared of the gun. But the old man didn't show any sign of fear: "You may be twenty or in your thirties. I have lived for many years. No gun or death will kill him. I have done all I could have done. I made my life. You may kill me but never kill my contribution to the world."
The students got upset. The man showed no sign of being intimidated. The gun wasn't working. Killing him and leaving the house without the formula will be their biggest defeat. They were very determined to get the formula.
The old man told them again: "You still count years to live but me I am counting only days or hours to live."
They were locked in the house without any compromised for one hour. Then one of the students went to close the house fearing that anybody can walk in and find them there and they will have to flee the house without the formula.
Thirty minutes later at around half past twelve. They heard a knock at the door. They restrained Steve from answering. They were decided to leave the house with the formula. The most wanted formula: �The cure of AIDS disease".
Steve spent most of past twenty years on researching the origin, the spread and the cure of AIDS.
He had worked with thousand of students and various people. He has spend many years in others continents.
The two students who wanted the formula were his latest trusted collaborators but they didn't know everything.
The two students were exchanging in holding the gun on Steve head. They fail to convince the old man to get the formula. They were exchanging going in the kitchen time to time to get some food.
They cut off the telephone line and the ring bell. Two days Prof wasn�t giving the formula.
The student chatted for another moves. While the old man was sleeping on his chair: "Look, everybody knows that Prof. His too old and may die anytime soon. They may come to force the door trying to rescue him. We cut off all the contacts: telephones and ring bell. But we haven't cut Prof. From being rescue."
"Let kill him and go."
"If we kill him all the sacrifices will be gone." Argued another student "The dream of being rich and being respected for finding the AIDS remedy will be over. Instead we may spend days in jail for failing into our plan."
While they were distract. They saw a note on Prof's table while
"PS Mr. Kenny Bean: ABC+D (H2O+"
The students were happy thought that Prof. Finally gave the formula: "Let go. Let the old man die in his sleep. We have the formula."
Happy to have found the world most wanted formula: the cure of AIDS. They took the peace of paper and were rushing out of the house. When they noticed: "No there is one small word is missing."
"What."
"The formula is incomplete."
They returned to ask for that small missing word. They find the old man sleeping. They tried to wake him up but the man wasn't moving anymore.
The old man has died in his sleep on that chair where the student forced him to stay for the past two days. The student got frustrated: "The teacher cannot die like this. We have to get the last missing letter"
"Anyway." said the other student "We were just using a toy gun to frustrate him. We could have killed him if we wanted with only two or one slap. He was already dying."
Yes, the two students wanted to kill him with fist only. They were sure that the old man could survive any torture. The gun they used was just a real look alike toy gun they bought in the toys shop the morning of executing their villain plan.
The student weren't done yet: "Just a simple word is missing. Just a simple one?"
"Our dream may be shut down."
"No" the student regretted "we have to resuscitate him. Let ask him the last words then let him die for real."
The medical students decided to do what their have studied to apply in emergency. "Let do the cardio pulmonary resuscitation. If an adult does not breath start with 15 compressions. At the rate of 100 compressions a minute."
They started with giving Steve Rowan 15 compression. Then they checked if the pulse was there but no pulse. The give him a series of 15 chest compressions fours time and each space their tried to check if any pulse was returned and give him a mouth breath.
But nothing was going their way: "Just a single word could make this most wanted world formula complete. We will make more money and will be praised by everybody in the universe."
"Why this has to happen to us."
"May be we are giving him too much compression for his age." the students suspected.
"But at university we studied the case of adult and infant CPR but not for old people?"
"Let give him may be children dose."
They changed tactics. Trying to the old man 1 chest compression every 3 second instead of one compression every 0,45 second. About 100 compressions a minutes.
Nothing was returning to normal. They didn't have any life support and time was running out: "We should stop now. We have half of the formula."
They now noticed that even that formula wasn't addressed to them because at the start of the formula it was mention "PS Mr. Kenny Bean" It look like they have lost everything.
"No" the student regretted. "This was our formula. But why Prof. Wrote Ps Mr. Bean? What the reporter has to do with the formula?"
"When did he write the formula?"
"I don't remember."
More than 6minutes has passed. Steve body didn't have any oxygen to his brain. "He may have died. Let run away."
"No, people can always come back after a proper CPR."
They refused to accept that the respected researcher has died. It was more than 3 hours they were trying to resuscitate him. They realize now that the situation has worsened: "We have broke his thorax." the other student realized. They could feel with the hand while laying they hand on the thorax of the old man "Let be careful with the compression and the mouth breath they we are administrating him."
The man was dying alone. They remember what the Professor said "I remember that he has only few days or hours to live."
While they were busy giving Steve Rowan slow and soft chest compression now. They heard people forcing the entrance door and shouting: "Grand pa. Grand pa, are you still alive? Are you there? Why you don't answer the phone?"
One of his grand children comes to check if their grand father was OK. The man who was always in touch with his family.
Now, they were in danger. They broke the back windows and escaped living the small peace of the world most wanted formula, the cure of AIDS.
At around eight hours in the evening. Mr. Bean heard on the news the death of the Steve Rowan. He remembers him when he saw his picture. He has interviewed the man more than tree times.
It was a signal too to open the 2 mails he received from Steve Rowan.
He opens the first letter.
The document had just a one sentence on top:
�Dear Mr. Kenny Bean let the world now of my research on the origin of AIDS"
He looks at the long 50 pages document and started highlighting the important message for editing and for press release:
In 1983, the scientist discovered of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the pathogen responsible for AIDS.
My interest in this subject started when the American scientist discovered the similar virus in Asia monkeys called" Macaques" held in captivity in various USA research labs.
I know how close the human are to monkey. The human are the closest relative of Monkeys. We share the same physiology and the same ancestors.
I look at the most close monkey to human. And the closest one where based in the rich forest continent in the world.
That monkey virus close to human killer AIDS was called SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency virus. SIV is a genetically similar to a weakly contagious form of HIV-AIDS virus. Simian mean in Latino Monkey.
The same virus was found in the West part of Monkey in the west Africa. And was named SIV1. A single person whom lives near Mangabeys Monkey carried that unique virus.
The Mangabeys monkey of the West Africa carried the SIV1 and the most closest creature to human the Chimpanzees in central Africa carried the same virus named SIV2.
The big question is how the SIV virus developed and entered the human been in a form of HIV and today infect more than 40 millions people in the entire world?
We will see the most important theory on the second mail.
After reading the first 50 pages article, he was shocked to learn this theory and the precision in the article. On the second letter where it was written too, that the third letter is on his way. He wondered how he may get the third mail while the sender has passed away?
He decided to open the second mail from Prof. Steve Rowan and choose the most important articles.
He opened the second letter. With one short sentence on top of a 80 pages document:
" Dear Mr. Kenny Bean this is the second mail and the third one his on his way. In this article I am talking about the spread of SIV to human been in form of HIV (AIDS)"
Talking about the spread of AIDS, they are four main theory that could have spread the deadly virus in human been.
The first theory is called OPV( oral polio vaccine). The monkey kidney cells were widely used as a substrate to grow viruses for research and vaccine production. Especially the green monkey kidney.
The first major trial of experimental oral polio took place from 1957 to 1960 in now called democratic republic of Congo, Burundi and Rwanda. Close to one million people received it as medicine. This theory was disapproved by many scientists. They claimed that the monkey tissues used to produced local vaccine were safe in Kisangani (formerly know as Stanleyville) where the monkey were kept in a camp called Lindi.
Note: two confirmed AIDS cases are not shown: a patient who acquired the deadly virus somewhere in Tanzania before 1981 plus another one who acquired a form of the virus either in Cameroon or Kenya before 1967. Many scientists defended that the OPV hypothesis was safe.
The second theory, the cut hunter. It believed that the SIV is transmitted via blood to blood contact with the infected primate. It is not hard to imagine that hunters cuts or being injured by wounded Mangabey or Chimpanzee. Those big primate animals weren't easy to capture wounding or even killing most of the time the hunter.
Unlike the OPV theory this theory is widely accepted. People started moving to colonial�s capitals and ports in the 19th century spreading various diseases around. A hypothesis that doesn't account for the timing of the AIDS epidemic and that is not falsifiable is of limited use. Still, the thinness of the theory does not make it wrong.
I rejected part of this theory, where the suspected that SIV could have get into human by monkey's meat. Yes, many tribes still eat monkey. But they don't eat row meat but they eat cooked meat. And the virus couldn't survive in cooked or fried meat.
The only way to link the eating meat to this theory, is that may be some hunter or woman cooking the meat could have cut themselves during the cutting of the monkey's meat in small part and cook it.
In my study the monkey had a hard meat. And it required an effort to separate his meat to the skin. And it believed that many hunters could have cut themselves and the SIV could have entered into human body.
The other theory that I rejected is the story of a certain man who has had sexual intercourse with the primate. After studying their culture it was unlucky due to the strong African tradition that even a mad man could have done such atrocity.
The other rejected theory. Is that a male monkey could have rapped a female human. Even thought Monkey and human is the closest creature. In studying the primate, it was discover that he couldn't develop a sexual desire to human. Monkey has also a strong culture and tradition too.
The third theory, called the medical drama. The big change in the medical took place in the 1950's with the worldwide introduction of disposable plastic syringes, making guaranteed sterile use possible and dropping the cost of syringe production by almost two orders of magnitude. The result was that the medical use of injection went up astronomically. Because doses can be measured and there is no possibility of patients losing, throwing or selling the medicine. Injection becomes popular that the doctors find it a suitable way to administer medicines, including vitamins, analgesics and other common drugs.
The problem is that trivial cost is still large to someone living outside the cash economy and the plastic syringes cannot be sterilized by boiling. According to this scenario of acceptance of injections to treat variety of diseases, it was still unavailable or wasn't cheap in the disadvantaged community such us Africa.
The result was that the unsterilized syringes were used again and again, spreading the viruses, including those that eventually become AIDS.
The transition from SIV to HIV demanded a series of mutations. The SIV only adapted to human body in form of AIDS. HIV (AIDS) is only the adaptation of the Monkey virus SIV to human body.
The shortage of syringes in many part of the continent was acute. Let me give you some examples: In 1916 during the sleeping control sickness in Central African Republic called Ubangi Shari 89 000 people were treated just with six syringes. This method was abandoned 20 years early in Europe.
Such circumstances easily could have promoted the evolution of SIV from SIV.
And the last theory, called superstition. The search of supernatural power. In the most part of Africa superstition could have promoted to the introduction of the SIV into human body. It is about the practice of acquiring animal or plant strength into your body. Trying to get the natural power from animal into your body.
According to many study I did personally in Africa. The villagers specially, were making self vaccine using animal part into your body. They were taking animal part: born, blood and other meat of the animals cutting their body and introducing those tissues into their body.
For example if you want to be energetic and get the power of dominance, simply vaccine the lion's tissue into your body. Lion was viewed as the king of the forest and to get the natural dominance power, simply gets vaccine from the lion's tissue. Cut your body and introduce in your body the lion's tissue.
Chimpanzee�s parts were used to strength human body in giving them fighting power. Chimpanzee was viewed as the strongest animal in the world. He has an unimaginable fist power. Many youth wanted to be powerful and strong like Chimpanzee. Their all wanted to be the strong one in their community. They cut their body and introduced Chimpanzee tissue in their body especially the blood contact.
These practices still exist in many part of the continent and may have contributed to the expansion of the SIV into human body. The monkey's virus only adapted in human body on a form of AIDS.
It doesn't matter much now to keep talking of the origin and the spread of the disease into human's body but now it is time to see and concentrate on the remedy of the controversial disease. I, as a doctor huge everybody into the world to make a contribution to combat this disease.
Where ever you are, whatever you are we all have to educate and fight the disease like we all fought and finish and prevent another World War. Few people are infected by the disease but we are all affected. AIDS is not a horror movie but it is a reality. There is no safe place for AIDS.
In the third letter, we will see the way forward on the matter.
While Mr. Kenny Bean wondering how to get a third letter from a dead man. He heard a knock at the door.
He was reading dangerous documents. He went to open the door at around ten hours in the afternoon.
He saw two people wearing black jacket. One of the man introduced himself and showing card: "We are investigators. Are you Mr. Kenny Bean?"
"Yes, I am Mr. Kenny Bean."
The man was holding a small note with him and shown him the peace of paper.
�PS Mr. Kenny Bean: ABC+D (H2O+"
While he was figure out if I was the third mail he was waiting from Prof. Steve Rowan.
The investigator hand cuffed him: "You have the right to remain silent. You have been arrested for breaking and possible killing Prof. Steve Rowan."
After months of a controversy trial, the English reporter was acquitted for the murder charge but arrested for breaking into Prof. Steve's house and stealing some document include the two mails than he normally received from the post office.
Mr. Kenny Bean management although to publish some articles he received.
He managed to publish some of selected part of the document when he was given bail. Those documents he published become the definition of his future life.
CHAPTER TWO : PRISON'S REALIZING
Mr. Kenny Bean the controversial the English journalist and reporter have to be realized from the prison after serving two years of work related report incident crime. He was accused of reporting on very sensitive subjects, inaccurate information and not living up to the press code of conduct and breaking into Prof. Steve's house and stealing sensible document.
Mr. Bean wasn't fan of many inmates because he talks less. He was just too different for the others inmates. All those controversies made him unwanted even by the warders looking after the prisoners.
His departure is view as a blessing. The disappearing of fewer problems in that house.
Joy and feast amount the prisoner inmates and warders the leaving of the controversial man in the prison never know.
When the prisoners has to be about to release, they started counting few years left, months left and days left. Their last days in prison were the longest one. Excited to get back in the society.
Around seven hours in the morning, the prisoner warder chief start calling the name of people to be realized: "John Britney."
"I am here." The prisoner answered.
"Take your stuffs" the warder ordered "and wait for me by my office to fill the last formalities". The prisoner with the joy of re finding his freedom took already his arranged bag. There was no much in the prisoner bag. He has to leave the uniform in the prison. The few things were just little underwear, mirror, comb and some letters.
The following man on the list: "Peter Albert."
"Present."
"See you in my office." They were not impressing with his conduct in the prison he has a lot explanation to do before his parole. Endless fight with the inmate and the warders.
Next man was called "Gilbert Benoit."
"Present."
"We have been impressed by your social contribution in our Jail." the prison's warder said "You will be sent to the deporting center to be repatriate to your country of origin France."
Gilbert realize wasn't the happiest one. He faces another trouble to be deported without his will. His visa was expired and possible face others tribulation in his home country.
The man to be deported thought that the sentence was over and could be free: "I thought that my prison tem was completed?" the prisoner argued.
"Yes" the prisoner admitted "you have completed your sentence but as a foreigner you have to be deported in your country of origin."
Surprise of the day. When "Mr. Kenny Bean." was called.
Mr. Kenny Bean was unaware that he will be realized this soon. He spent the last few days trying to find the formula he was assigned to explain to the all world.
He didn't regret that Steve Rowan has brought the trouble. With the blinder of the investigation team for suspecting him to steal those document. For the investigators they were no apparent link between the report and the scientific report. Even the postal stamp on those documents didn't help the reporter. He was charge with breaking in the house of the old Prof Steve Rowan.
The first call was not heard enough by the prisoners and the other warders.
The caller repeated again: "I say Mr. Bean the only Bean we have in our custody."
He didn't hear his name. But the inmates heard and started celebrating.
Huge celebrating noise in the all block of the prison.
"Good bye, good bye, good bye"
One of the warders prayed and thanked God: "Thank you God, Thank you for the wonderful day. I have been praying for the realized of the trouble man �I had too many stress and nightmares now I can breath properly �We are now free too together with Kenny Bean. Our jobs had become a jail for us too because of the man called Kenny Bean "
With all the celebrating noise it makes difficult for this prisoner to hear his name. "I repeat again, Mr. Bean."
He wakes up from his bed wearing the usual prison uniforms that he wore for the past two years and heard all cell inmates and warders celebrating and singing: "Good bye, good bye, good bye. The storm is over now."
They were just other prisoners when they were realized the inmate and the warder regret they departure and they were other prisoner when they were realized the prisoners celebrated and never miss them at all.
The others prison warders who heard the list of the prisoner to be realized from the day start to the celebrating people:
The caller blamed the celebrating people: "Shut up �I am not calling you, Shut up �How can he hear is name if you are celebrating already. Is not out yet out of the prison�Waiting for him once he get out of the prison to make a party. We will all celebrate."
His calling of his name took about five minutes delay in the program of the prison. Songs and celebration that the controversial man was leaving the prison.
The inmate were so happy: "Good bye, good bye, good bye"
Another prison warder went personally to search for him: "Mr. Kenny Bean where are you man?"
He responded and the chief warden couldn't hear him first: "Present, I am here."
"Mr. Kenny Bean."
"Present." He has just wake up when everybody were already up on they feet.
"I can hear you now." the warder says "I always tell you to stop talking like someone who is having water in mouth .Talk and talk like a man a strong survivor from jail"
"Present."
"We are wasting our time." the prisoner said "Anyway we have a good news for you and all of us. You know that it is your realized day?"
Sad news for the man who thought that he has to take advantage of the captivity to meditate on the formula. He was decided to get the formula and reveal to millions of readers and the world waiting for the meaning of that formula.
Steve Rowan who was interviewed few times by Mr. Bean saw in him a man who can find that formula. He found in that man a personality that we will detect the meaning of the formula. Out of thousand of student and other researcher the professor choose another man. Out of his grand children and children he decided to inherit his important knowledge to a man who wasn't a scientist.
Kenny Bean astonished said: "I don't know"
"Everybody knows their realize days"
"I was not aware of that."
"Get ready and wait for me for the final formalities in my office." the warder ordered "I don't know whether to quote you or not�You have been a blessing to us in the bad sense and we are anxious to see you out of our doors today"
He wanted to buy time but is time was up. He has to return in the noisy city and world. It was a new challenge. In knew that he will have very less time to find the meaning of that formula.
This seems to be an early realizes: "No."
"What." the warder argued "You not happy to see your families and friends."
The man softly answered: "I don't know if I have any friend any more and I don't know if my family is waiting for me or not �I don't even remember their addresses"
They wanted him out of the jail as soon as possible: "Don't worry I will get you a place to stay in Park before you find your relatives, friends, family and your wife. I will talk with some homeless and street kid to welcome you"
The man begged for two more days to stay into the prison: "Please can you give me two days for me to live in this cell"
"No, not you" the warder argued "For us one day with us his like a century to us �Please your time is up."
"I wanted to watch the Sunday soccer game Liverpool playing Manchester�Jail is my new home, it remind me of my boarding school �I can eat, play, sleep, meditate and watch Television. I don't have a television in my house it was stolen and I don't want to miss the English derby"
Some of the people even end up calling the prison as a hotel were the prisoner had access to all the entertainment facilities than many people in the under developed countries had. While in many poor countries some people lived just under 1 $ a day, the prisoners in the rich countries lived above that bill. While in many countries they were fighting, and there street were lawless in some prison, they had a human right defending them. While many people in poor countries had no food, the prisoners could have they meal each and everyday.
While some countries had a small countries had the population of about a million people, it was even less than the population of prisoners in some countries.
"There are many drink clubs were you can watch soccer in the city. This is not a boarding school but a correctional school."
"I have not been working for two years." The prisoner complained. "Where may I get money to buy beer in the club to watch soccer?"
The anxious warder was ready to contribute with his own money just to see the man out of the premises: "Your wife will give money. Let me give you twenty pounds so you may buy some beer in the club and watch your soccer"
The celebrating warders contributed money to let him go and their left celebrating in the prison.
All those excuses didn't help. The last thing he said: "This is the start of the ABC+D (H2O+...The formula was incomplete and I don�t have to worry about completing my meditation. Let me flow as the formula was incomplete. This is the first step to get the answer."
Just when he was busy completing the realized forms of the prison the press was waiting for him for a media briefing outside the prison. He dressed up in his favorite colour black suit. The first people to meet on streets were his colleagues reporters who welcomed him with questions.
While trying to get used to the world he missed for many days, the passing people on street. Kids, children and dog playing in the park. Thousand of car passing in the street. This world he was absent of for many day.
He felt little bit dizzy with the moving peoples and things. It was the return to freedom.
He tried to ignored the following reporter with their micro phones, Dictaphone and micro tapes to get the answer to the disease AIDS: "Mr. Kenny Bean �We are happy to see you again �Do you still remember that you were guilty of the controversial reports that lead to your arrest, what is you take and your new way forward?"
He squeezed his noise then responded: "I thank you for your questions. I said and I will say again I didn't kill anyone to be in prison. I am not guilty�I was trying to do my job. I am innocent like"
"Do you have some friend you would love to meet beside your wife Kerry Hilton and your brother Ben."
This was the same press that makes you and break you. They praise you and destroy you. The press will make you big and make you small at the same time. As a reporter he knew his colleagues tactics. He once said that the press was the biggest prostitute. They will love you, when they know that you can give them something in return. While the prostitute ask for many. The press sees if you are sellable and make them buy they story. Like a prostitute, they will never get interested in you if you won't give them anything in return.
He immediately responded: "I don't have friends."
"Tell us the high and the low of your days in prison?"
"It was like the troubles in the past conflicts days of Sarajevo or Kosovo" He notice "Some time people fighting and sometime resting. But I got many Ideas in my long meditation in prison. I don't complain because all the experiences got in prison will help me sooner or later in life. I will share those inspirations with the rest of the World�This is the beginning of the formula and the assignment left to me."
While trying to get out in the taxi and meet his wife and his brother who come to fetch him. The reporters following in all his steps. Then while he was about to get into the taxi. The journalist bombarded him with many questions:
Did you get the formula of AIDS remedy?
He responded to the disturbing reporter: "I am on my way."
He has to be careful with each word he says. The press may use them to build you or even destroy you with your own words. It was why some people often refused to talk to the press.
While trying even put his foot in the Taxi, another reporter asked him: "When are you returning to your work?"
"I have returned already to my work. In fact I never rest even in prison. The life in jail was just another part of report."
The crowds of the reporters were shocked to see the man ready to return immediately to his own profession after his realize. They couldn't believe that the man who was in captivity was proud to say that he was not resting but worked: "Man, we thought you should have some rest before making your return to your daily occupation?"
"There is no time for rest for a journalist or reporter. I recharged my batteries in jail now I have some new and energetic input"
Everything that a reporter sees and hears is a report. It doesn't matter where he his and what time it is. No one could stop the verbal diarrhoea of a reporter no matter how.
The driver of the taxi decided to drive off under the command of Mr. Bean. He told the driver before returning home to take him first at the postal office. It didn't matter what time is it or witch day he return to London.
Mr. Kenny Bean when leaving London on is return he will first go to the post office box to check the mails.
Her wife Kerry Hilton known as Mrs. Kenny Bean knew him very well, she disagree on this move: "You went no were, you were just here in London and you decide to check your mail box."
His work has become even important to his private life. The work becomes first in his life. He was proud to be arrested and to be freed for his work.
The driver of the taxi had no choice but to accept to what the man they went to fetch said. And drive to the postal office.
When they stopped, he pulls from his pocket the postal key he kept in prison for the past two years and rushed to his postal box.
It was just around eleven in the morning. People who used to often check the post office knew him already. They haven't seen him for a while and many were curious to watch the return of the reporter.
He opens the box that was full of notes and pamphlets. He started selecting the mail to the pamphlet throwing all the unwanted pamphlet disturbing him like the Spam email in email boxes.
He selected hundred of later while the people in the taxi were impatiently waiting for the new realize.
The driver after 45 minutes of waiting started hooting. He let him hoot for more than 5 minutes before returning with plenty of mail in his hand and upper hand.
The mail meant a lot to him. The mail was part of his work. This time he was lucky not to get mail forbidding him to immediately open them.
CHAPTER TREE : BREAKING NEWS
Kenny Bean after he realized return to his profession, he was sent to Africa to make some reports and finish the Aids issue he started. It was also a good way to get indirectly rid of him. Just after 2 months of his freedom.
In fact he was not a bad reporter but a unique reporter. He was not a fan to his bosses whom day and night wanted to send him far away from their offices.
Before returning to Britain, he spends many months in the Amazon in the South America were he was lost for sometime.
Mr. Kenny Bean was excited to leave London this time, their offer was irresistible. Mr. Bean has been to all the continent, he has been every where except Africa. This offer come has a good gift for the man who spends 2 years in jail.
He had to offer to visit the continent but some unfortunately circumstance happen just few hours of his departure to Africa and they schedule was changed.
He wanted to see really Africa, he heard many story about Africa, and he has seen many things happening in Africa to the television. He heard many things about this continent on radio and He has read a lot about Africa. This was the right time for the man who catches more than 100 planes a years.
His job was a priority in life more important than his own private life but this time the AIDS formula become more important than all the reports. He had new priority now: first the AIDS formula, then his job and his private life.
Each day of his life all the scripture Steve Rowan left to him where coming but the answer was just to far.
It was the 18th March 2004
He was aboard of the pane that had 163 passengers and 20 crew member aboard.
For many years his boss sent him away spending more than half time of his life far from his office.
Wearing a black suit, white shirt, tied and black shoes Mr. Bean had to return home after two months. Armed with less than 20 kilograms bag, a micro cassette tape recorder, postal box key and a laptop.
In the plane he was imagination how the continent look like based on what he has seen on pictures and what he had read and heard.
He knew that all the image of the continent may be different to the reality on the ground.
He remembered about what people talked about the Amazon forest and his people. The reality there was quiet different. He enjoyed spending time with the indigenous. They told him that the indigenous where cannibal but he shared food with those people and never seen anything like this.
His reason of being in Africa was to finish a project he has to complete. He was about to complete the work on a snake project. He started this project tree years ago. He had write something about the tree biggest snakes of the world.
He started by writing the reticulated Python, weighting about 130 kilograms length about 10 meters. The longest snake in the world in Asia. He was sent to write about prostitution in Philippine and took advantage of that to work on it.
Then in South America when writing about the indigenous life in the forest, he wrote too about the Green Anaconda the 180 kilograms snake and about 9 meters long snake.
There was something missing on that report, the life of the Boa constrictors a 45 kilograms and 4 meters long snake but able to swallow birds, mammals and even monkeys.
This snake is found in Central Africa. They are many to say about those animals not only the zoological studies but he was interested in the behaviour too.
His schedule to cover the AIDS epidemic and his consequence has to take him in more than 10 African countries, include central Africa.
They are more to cover in Africa the culture of many traditional people. The Zulu in South Africa, the Masai in Kenya, the Haussa in West Africa, The Luba and the Bakongo in Congo, the Shona in Zimbabwe, the Bemba in Zambia...A variety of report has to be written about this continent.
He took a geographical book reading about the countries in Africa and the conflict there.
The plane that he took supposed to land in first in Johannesburg and after few days there he had to take others planes for other destination in Africa.
He was on board of the Boeing 747 for the company Africa Premier Airline a private airline company.
Johannesburg Jan Smith airport was the biggest one and the most modernize airport in Africa. The only airport to get more than 60 000 traveler a day. It was the door to this continent.
He was seeing himself in that airport in few hours and called his childhood friend who was based in South Africa for many years.
His best friend was waiting for him already after receiving a call early in the days. He was excited to meet his friend in the continent he was based.
Under two hours of this arrival. They heard a big blow sound in the plane after 8 hours of traveling. They passenger hoped that it wasn't serious. But the pilots in their carbine already started panicking.
The pilot asked to his co pilots: "What is that?"
"We are the one who supposed to ask you."
The pilots were trying to find out what was going on.
After that huge blow sound the plane experienced a usual technical problem as the pilot and the co pilots tried to save their lives: "I never had this problem before."
"We are in trouble." said the pilot "We have to make an emergency landing."
"Were to make this landing? We still far from the main airport around here, we are in deep African bushes."
The pilot looks at the windows and only saw mountains and bushes. Then they saw a little smoke coming out of the plane.
"Try to make an emergency call to the control."
"There is no need to alert the airport. We have to try to fix this problem once we are in the air. They will not be able to assist us while we still in the air."
"Please tell them so the may give us some technique and directions."
"Let me try."
"Please."
The co pilot took immediately the radio and tried to contact the nearest airport. It was Jan Smith airport after they have passed Windhoek airport. They insisted reporter: "Control, control coming over."
Johannesburg control room responded: "Send over."
"The flight VOL654 from London to Johannesburg is experiencing technical problems the engine is not responding to the command; we heard a big blow sound before"
The woman who was in the control room panic more than the people who were in that plane: "I have to pass you a technical expect to help you. Hold on"
While the woman to the control tried to reach for technical help the matter become worst. The plane was not responding to any commands. The co pilot insisted in calling the nearest control room: "Control, control comes over"
The woman tried to call the expects who were not available at this time. She gets frustrated as she was making many phones calls�"Control, control come over."
"Send over."
"The matter is becoming out of control please tell us which direction to make an emergency landing even a small airport around"
The woman opened a small map she had but couldn't see anything because of her fright. She never had an alerting call like this in her career. She got confused and didn't know what to do. She tried to calm the caller: "I am busy searching for the technicians and direction at the same time. Many are out of duty now. I called two on their cell phones but I got the answer machines I am busy talking to some mechanics"
It was passed 20 hours in South Africa. The pilot where trying to figure out if the blow was from the engine or a bomb sabotage. They insisted: "The matter is more complicated than you are thinking. It is matter of minutes not of hours�We are going down"
"I am I am trying my best�Wait, wait someone is coming."
"Please hurry up."
They waited for about 5 minutes to get help.
One of the technicians rushed in the control room. He took put on the table of the control room the bag he was holding and two airplane spares. He was repairing an airplane in the airport when he was called to rush in the control room. The woman at the control room told the pilot: "One of the mechanics has just entered our room. You may talk to him"
The pilots felt a sense of relieve.
The woman grab her hair while the mechanic tried to assist the co pilot: "What is going on?"
"We are experiencing engine problem the engine is not responding to our commands before that we hear some kind of huge blow in the plan." Said the pilot "We need a emergency landing or some advice."
Then when the co pilot was busy talking to the expect in the control room they heard a second big explosion noise from one of the plane compartment this time, then the mechanic asked: "What is that noise again:"
"I don't know, this one his more powerful than the first one."
All the light in the plane went off. Now the panic was all over the passenger wondering what went wrong.
The mechanics lost all the theories that he leant. He started sweating on spot as he tried to give some tips: "Check the power lines"
Then the communication line went off. As panic in people in the plane were screaming for help.
After that a smoke breaks all over the plane. People running up and down in the plane.
The mechanic was still busy calling for the pilots who couldn't respond: "Can you hear me? Are you there?"
The controller informed everybody for the disaster includes the media. They were wondering what really went wrong. At least they got the pilot warning of the planes difficulties.
Five minutes after the incident.
The media was informed as many stations reported the unconfirmed report. The leading television also broadcast the news:
Breaking news�The have been an unconfirmed report of the flight VOL654 from London to Johannesburg have trashed on their way. According to some report the heard a blasting noise in the plane�We will come up with further and precise information about the development of the situation in our news bulletin. The plane had 183 peoples aboard: 163 passengers and 20 plane's officials�One of the passengers aboard is the reporter Mr. Kenny Bean.
Mr. Kenny Bean wife and colleagues were informed of the situation as the relied on television and press report�
The pilot and co pilots tried their best to land in bushes .It took again some 20 minutes of man oeuvre. The smoke entered even the pilot's cabinet as the panic spread the plane. Women and other passenger tried in vain to call for help.
A courageous hostess took the microphone in that darkness to calm people: "Calm down we trying to fix the plane's breakdown�Our pilot will win this challenge"
As she was trembling, the panic didn't end as everybody where screaming for help: "Help, help"
No one his paying attention to courageous hostess. The plane was flying without any direction�
The pilot tried to land in a big road they could see but the plane was not responding to the commands.
Before the plane even crush the news were spreading around the World that the plane have crushed already as the communication lines break down.
The plane eventually went down in the bushes.
Few survivors tried to escape the plane by windows. Many people died by shock and were suffocated.
The plane got fire after five minutes. It was around 2 hours in the evening that the plane went down.
The plane went down in Namibia 30 kilometers away from the South African borders in the Bushmen�s land. Most of them were pygmies and lives in their traditional land with very little of civilized materials.
The villagers around the place were the plane crashed heard an unusual engine noise. Then the heard a big bomb noise. They call a plane a big bird. They never see the plane only saw it passing in the sky.
Those villagers know as the bush men refused to the entry of the civilization in their land. They wanted to live a pure life called traditional life. The government tried to bring schools, hospitals, the modern technology but this group of about 10 000 villagers living in fours different village refused the new civilization.
The Kung Bushmen were mostly from the pygmies ancestors. They lived in that part of the continent for years. According to the history they are the first people really to enter the Central and the Southern part of the continent. They were proud of the tradition and were proud of their inheritance. The government even fails to relocate them because their village was build on top of the gold. But they refused to live their ancestors land.
They said they didn't want to loose their ancestor�s inheritance. They tolerate to wear few clothes especially short. They wore them twice a week. Sunday and the days they visit the market place at the near by train station Gopilane.
In Gopilane was the biggest market where they could exchange their product to sugars, salt...
A passenger car from Angola to South Africa was at 12 kilometers away from the scene. It has 29 people aboard. They decided in that night under the leadership of the bus to rescue the people on the plane. They decided to leave behind children and women. They were 14 male adult in the cars. Those people in the car who were civilized quick identified the phenomenon. They decide to live their car and entered the bush for a good cause to save some peoples. This mission was lead by the car's driver: "Are sure is that an airplane crash?"
A car passenger confirmed: "I am 100% sure that it is a plane crush. I heard first a strange tune noise of the engine before it crushed."
"I also heard that strange engine's then I had a boom following a boom noise." Confirmed another passenger "It must be a big engine."
"I am scared of the Bushmen whose lives in this land. They may attack us."
"Those Bushmen are not dangerous." said usual travelers "They only kill if you attack them. They will not kill us if we do not attack them."
Felisberto the driver motivated the male passenger to go to the plane's crush scene. He has been traveling for almost twenty years every month to the same road: "I always travel this road for many years. I know the Bushmen. There are very good people they don't kill. Even before killing they ask you what you are doing in their land. We had a car breakdown in the Bushmen land for two weeks. They received us well and feed us for many days. They are not bad people. I always pass by these roads"
The Bushmen the first inhabitant of the continent were seen as side lined from running they own land. While the Bantu people celebrated freedoms, the Bushmen find themselves being even neglected by the new government ran by the majority African in the countries they lived: Angola, Namibia and South Africa.
The first inhabitant of the land Bushmen and the Aborigines struggle was still on unfortunately they don�t form a majority to be heard. For some reason many people who didn�t know the die hard indigenous where still scared of the bushmen. They say that: �a bushmen�s arrow wound is more dangerous than any snakes venom�
A man who was in his early 30's wasn't happy to join the rescuer. His reason to come was to follow the other man. He didn't want to stay behind with women and children alone in car. He was the man behind in the group. While walking in the semi desert bush of Kalahari. Short bushes and plenty of stones and very few short thorn trees: "It my first time to come by car. I always travel by plane from Angola to South Africa. This time I decide to explore Namibia land whose is between Angola and South Africa."
Kalahari was the biggest desert in the South of Africa taking a big part of South of Namibia extended to the North West part of South Africa. And the second biggest desert in Africa after the desert of Sahara. Felisberto driver encouraged this helpless passenger: "It is really a good experience to travel by car because you see many things and meet many people in the two days long trips. I always prefer the car and is more cheaper and affordable than the plane."
They didn't know the location of the crash but first followed were the noises come from then in the dark they could see the smoke here and there of the plane in a full moon.
Moon played a big role.
The passenger of the car started following smoke from the plane: "Where is the smoke?"
"You may see there, up that mountain."
"But I am also scared about the indigenous animal such us lion...They may attack us and we left our car far."
"The lion are not many in this area and the lion is scared of the people in group .We are 14 here no lion will attack us."
They were in the land of lions and many passengers. The lion conservative group has capture many of them and put in the park and the private conservation land in South Africa but some lions were still around in that part of the land.
They were not scared of any animals except the lions.
One passenger was scared of the big bush: "Stop lying, the hungry lion do not have hears. I know someone who was killed by the lion when there was hunting. They were many in the group."
Felisberto the driver was encouraged because he had a revolver. He uses it to protect himself in this thousand kilometers journey against notorious gang who may try to stop him on the way and steal the passenger�s goods and merchandize.
Walking the arcacia thorn trees of the land, the group was little bit reluctant to walk in the dangerous land.
The only man who had a weapon was the driver. He was sure to kill dangerous animal with is small revolver: "If a lion attack you that mean you have an unsolved problem in your life or family. My self, I don't have any problem but the way our driver have a gun"
"This is crazy. Do you think we may rely on the small gun that the driver his carrying?"
That was nothing because it may only wound the lion not kill him. The driver will not even stand the coming and the powerful of the lion. He won't even shoot, He will shoot in the air and the lion will not return by the sound of that small machine gun. It won't kill or hut the big predator.
Everybody took precaution just in case if they meet the lion: "I have a solution we will climb the trees"
"You are a fool, where are those big and straight trees to climb on? We are in a semi desert there are not big trees. Let pray that God will protect us."
There was nothing they could have done to save themselves from the lion. They prayed and hoped not to be the one that the lion may capture. The lion will kill only one man not many people. Even if there are many in their group they will concentrate only on one man.
They kept following the driver and other people who had torches and were lighting it so they could see properly the way in the semi desert zone.
Few children who were playing in the nearest village could see the unusual phenomenon they stop playing to talk about the unusual noise and they taught. The nearest village was situated at five kilometers away from the scene. Home to Kung Bushmen.
It was the Bushmen�s village. The Bushmen has settled in this land for more than 2 000 years and were believed to be the first inhabitant of the Southern part of Africa. There was estimated to be about 100 000 bushmen in Africa. They were based in the South of Angola, in the Kalahari Desert in Namibia and South Africa. They are many ethnics group of Bushmen. The biggest groups were the Kung, the Gwi and the Nharo. They are also very small group of Ixu, Xuwasi, Nhai, Deti, Gana, Herero, Xo,...
The bushmen ethnic of Kung were expected to be around 35 000 bushmen. Like the pygmies were the first people to reach central Africa from what is now Sahara desert in the North Africa. The Bushmen were the first one to reach the Southern part of the continent.
After the arrival of the civilization in Africa many Bushmen too has settle in town but they were still many conservative Bushmen who wanted to remain close to their tradition in small group in the desert of Kalahari.
The Kung wanted to remain indigenous and were resisting the entrance of the civilization in they land. It wasn't easy but they were very much committed to they tradition.
They were wondering "Did you see?"
"Did you hear that boom?"
"I saw the big bird going down?"
The big bird is the name that the indigenous call the plane.
"The big bird flies over without going down."
"No, I saw a strange thing going down by the bushes next to the river."
"Let go and see."
The children also enjoyed playing when the moon is out. While they mothers were busy cooking and gossiping in this atmosphere no one was expecting this kind of incident to happen this good night.
They loved the full moon season. They perform their ancestor�s ceremonies too in this kind of season. The children who had not to worry to go to bed for school the next day will play until late night because they had not school.
The men will take the opportunity too to crack some animals. They had no modern weapon to catch the animals in Kalahari but they used bows and arrows for hunting. On top of that they knew very well how the animals behave and they had a good tracking ability and that alone made them the best hunters on the continent.
The women will take the opportunity to seat in their group sometime singing and doing the traditional jewelry.
The curious playing children had no right to approach the plane without their father's permission and my mother's permission. They all went in they round hut waiting for the men to arrive from different direction of the Kalahari.
The noise was heard as far as twenty kilometers in the area. All the Bushmen whose were hunting rushed to their home to look after their families and see what have really happened. Many liked to hunt in a moon days to capture animals. Some animals were very difficult to be captured in the day time.
The nearest village was Kemani about 7 kilometers from the place where the plane crashed.
In less than an hour all the Bushmen were home and made an emergency meeting with their chief. Wearing semi clothes mix with animal skins. They were very organized before making any decision they have to meet each other and make a common decision. They were also very disciplined and organized:
"This never happen to us in many years that we live in this land."
Some suspected that it may be is the attack by the government's troops who want to control them. The government was the biggest enemies of the Kung Bushmen. Trying to implant school and modern hospital. Cutting their hunting land and giving it to farmer. Already they felt that they freedom of movement was under treat. In the early days they used to walk in the bush many miles without being restricted. But in those days they were meeting many fences and no go zone. Made for the parks, the farms, the mines, and the game reserve.
They felt that they land was taken by the Ovambo, black people and Mulungu white people.
Even those bushmen who has settle in town were mourning they land and tradition, they end up to be big drunker. They felt that they were no more controlling they lives.
The best way of defense was attack. The Kung wanted to go and see what have happen in the bushes before taking any action.
They decided to meet and send some of them to look at what really have happen in their bushes.
The returning hunter who had to leave their trap to catch animal and bird relied most on the children version of stories. They believed most in children because they say that children are angels and do not lie:
The kids told them that they saw a big bird going down with some fire from his tails (engine) . The kids were angels because they have fewer sins than we do and the have the ability to communicate with angels.
"We know that every kid is an angel we have to take in considerations their thought."
"May be it is the end of the World that his happening."
"We have to pray to our ancestors to protect us.
Something very special about the Kung is that they believed in the after life. They knew that there is life after death. Sometime they used to leave some food on the grave of they loved one for them to eat.
The Kung used to call God as Gaona. They cousin Nyaro called God Neriba and Gwi called God as Nadima.
The elders in the group of chose 10 peoples to go and have a look of the events. They were very discipline and the ranking when the dignitaries and the chief is absent was the years. The older man in the group becomes the chief and gives orders and everybody execute without any complain. He took a kind of broom made of the birds and blessed the ten men he has chosen:
Gaona, God of ancestors the creature of the earth and all the wonders. I put in your hands those people who are going to see what a terrible noise happened in our ancestors bush �By the power you have given me to look after your people. I pray that their trip in the bush be successful. We have lost many people in the traditional battle to take control of this land. God, we are not ready to fight now and if it happen that we have to defend the land of the ancestors we will do and give us a victory in our battles �We don't want the government to come and implement their ruling based on unmoral values here�We will defend our self against our enemies�
The 10 men who left the nearest village with their traditional weapons Arrow and bows walked the scene following the smoke was it comes from. People were very scared of the arrows and bows of the Bushmen. Even thought they were very small in size the Bantu were scared of them. They traditional weapon had poison and it was impossible to survive a bushmen arrows. The black or Ovambo were defeated many time while trying to take they land in the ancient time. The Boer or the Balungu or white people when they arrived in the continent two lost many of them while trying to implants they farms.
While other animal could survive from the bullet wounds, no animal or human survive from the Bushmen�s arrows. But they used to eat the animals hit with they poisonous weapons, they believed that the poison had no effect on them because it was hit on the animal. The poison had effect when hit straight to the human's body. Not like the black people who do not touch the animals hit with a poisonous arrow.
The very organized people use to chase in group but the animal belonged to the one that the arrow hit first the animal. He will take the animal and take the part that he wanted the most and the rest if he wants he could share with other.
They reach the scene place before the passenger from the car from Angola because they knew better their land and were near the scene's place compare to the people from Angola.
They arrived at the scene and charted: "It is not an attack. It must be an accident."
"May be the protector witches of this land have witchcraft the plane."
They believed so much in witchcraft. The witches� works in the dark and the plane that never crushed crush in the night. All those coincidence made this theory acceptable:
"What can we do?"
"Let take for survivors and we will heal them and after the recovery will judge them."
"How can we judge people who not talk our dialects?"
"We will talk with gesture like we talk to the foreigners and tourists who visit us."
Very few indigenous knew to talk English. The man who talks well English was the chief of the village. He felt that it was important to talk English because he used to have tourist coming to visit the village and even interviewing him.
They search for survivors. They tried to stop the fire without success at one side of the plane. They were living in a semi desert land were they were few rivers and water near by. They tried with the sand but it wasn't extending the fire. They realized that it was a waste of time. They decided to search for survivors. They find at even 40 meters from the accidents some bodies. Those who were the few people who managed to escape from the plane. They find outside the plane 24 dead bodies in with 7 peoples were seriously injured and in critical condition. They couldn't get inside the plane because of the smoke:
The Kung Bushmen in the group decided to take only the survivors. "Let go now."
"Wait, we may get inside if we try to stop the fire from spreading."
"There is no need to get inside. All the people inside are dead. They may be suffocated there"
"Let go and give the report to the anxious friends and families whose are waiting for us and try to heal those injured�"
They tried to stop the fire but they failed. They were not that many too, they thrown sand on the plane and because of the survivors were about to die, they decided to return to they village. They wanted too to return and inform their anxious brother, that they were not under attack.
They took the injured and decided to head on with in their village Kemani.
After they left, thirty minutes later the group of civilized men from Angola arrived on the scene. Many were astonished to see the big plane going down. Some of the passengers never enter even a plane but they find themselves watching the crushed plane. It was about half past nine in the evening when this group arrived on the scene:
"This is a big fire."
"How can we extinguish the fire?"
"The fire will extinguish itself."
"We have to try to enter in this fire."
"Let break first the door."
They decided to make an entrance in the plane first but were amazed to see the plane door already open. They didn't know who did this. It was some of the plane passenger when trying to flee the smoke in the plane managed to open the door. Then after they finding an entry the fire was stopping itself.
Then some people who come to rescue entered the plane rushing on passengers few belonging they could get. It was the driver of the bus who initiated this movement. Those people knew civilization and the value of materials. They mission changed from rescuing to robbing: "Let do quickly before other people come."
"Take every thing that you may find."
"I will concentrate only on watches, money and jewelry"
Everybody rushed on passengers. Most of them were very much in good state but died when suffocate from the smoke. They were taking what they wanted. They took what was expensive.
"Brother let be fast they will catch us." one passenger urged his friends� The governmental personals and the press will land soon at this place."
They knew that the government official will arrive soon. They must be a report somewhere that a plane has crashed.
"This is a lifetime opportunity to get richer" one happy passenger said "We have to get use this opportunity. Those opportunities do not arrive twice in life."
"Let rush"
They took all the jewelries, watches, foreign currency money and many things. They left quickly without rescuing anybody.
The Johannesburg airport service decided to send a rescue team. But they process took longer as they had to ask for governmental permission. Then to ask for permission from the Namibian�s government.
South Africa was the only country to have an advance rescue system to help and they were aware of the plane trouble.
Many speculations started already of the possible plane accident.
Meanwhile in London many versions of news were spread by the media. Mr. Bean's wife, Kerry Hilton decided to switch on many TV channels hoping that the news is false:
�The flight VOL654 from London to Johannesburg have crashed in the African semi desert land in Namibia. The cause of the accident still not clear but there is a strong report that the plane have been hit by a missile from the Savimbi's rebellion troops who revenge their defeat in hitting the plane�We have a report that many defeated rebels were living in Namibia since the government have taken control of they occupy land Angola�
She decided to hear more on other TV channel. She decided to change channel from her Television remote hoping and praying that the news is not true:
The other station report:
There unconfirmed report that the plane that was traveling with the controversial journalist and reporter Mr. Bean have crush in Namibia just one half hour from his destination Johannesburg have crushed. They suspect an act of sabotage. Mr. Kenny Bean was realized two moths ago from prison where he served two years from the controversial reports that have mislead many people, before serving his jail sentence he was lost in the Amazon in South America for many months�He was going to South Africa to report about AIDS to show to the World the necessity of fighting this disease. South Africa is one of the most affected countries by this epidemic called Aids. More than 10 % of the population are affected by this disease and the most affected are the work force of this country�The cause of the plane crush still unknown�
Mr. Kenny Bean was the most popular man aboard the plane and they were repeating his name over and over.
She couldn't believe to what the other channels were saying as she decided to get another version from Sky news. Already few minutes later the numbers, the names and the nationality of the man aboard the plane was published:
This TV station report:
�The English security agency have announced the name of the 183 peoples who were aboard the plane that have crushed and their nationality: 53 people were English, 18 Americans, 20 Chinese, 12 Zimbabweans, 5 Congolese, 2 Moroccans, 12 Pakistanis and 61 South Africans �They are many speculations that the plane have been hit bye the terrorists act �They have been a lot questions about those Arab from Morocco and Pakistan. They identities still under a cross examination�
Just when the news was spreading one terrorist group posted their report claiming responsibility of the accident. Already in few minutes many things were happening.
Mr. Kenny Bean's wife couldn't believe to the new as she kept changing the TV channel, she switch on BBC:
This is a breaking news�We have just received a fax of an terrorist organization that we never had before claming the responsibility of the crushed they called them self Al Jenjaweed linked to Al qaeda organization of Bin Laden�
Then After few minutes another group claimed the responsibility and another channel broadcast:
Breaking news�We just have a confirmation of a terrorist group from Pakistan claiming the responsibility of the crush it called Al Abdula. We believe that the group have tie linked to Bin Laden�s organization�
It was just unfortunate in our day that even in the car accidents in the civilized land; rescuer will take the possession of the injured or dead passenger.
On the ground the rescue team arrived on the scene at around 2 hours later in the night of the crash. Four big helicopters full of rescuing equipment. They tried to take the bodies find most of them in unrecognizable state. They tried to look for the black box but they couldn't find it.
They decide to return back to search for the black box in the companies of security service. They where no survival finds in the plane and outside the plane by the rescuer from South Africa.
The group of man who robbed jewelries and other expensive materials from were happy traveling with their news acquisitions. They were sure of doing a very good affair.
The South African and Namibian securities reinforce their securities personnel at all the borders include the airport through out the country.
CHAPTER FOUR :SPECULATIONS
It was a historic moment for the Kung Bushmen of the village Kemani. They never seen an aero plane before but they saw before a cars. They never approached a plane before. They used the big plane in the night to estimate the time. They knew that sound of those Boeing at night that regularly travels from Johannesburg to New York, or from major cities to Johannesburg. Those planes that usually travel on time helped often the Kung Bushmen to know the time. The first one could help them to estimate that it about ten in the evening. Other it about 11 in the night and there was more at around 12, 4 in the morning. During the day they didn't care much about the plane to show the time.
They relied on the position of the sun. They knew that in different season, the sun's position was different and they had to adjust they way of seeing to be exact with time.
The Kung Bushmen had to see the plane for the first time not at the airport but in they bushes.
Without realizing the bushmen where discouraged with trying to stop the fire with the sand of the desert. They left without waiting to see at what extend the fire was stopping. That alone helped the fire not to spread any further just for the civilized people to take advantage of the extended fire to get in that smoking plane and steal.
The car of the 29 Angolans arrived near the borders as the saw many police cars and militaries cars and tank on the borders as they become more frighten: "Man a lot polices and militaries tank coming too."
"What can we do?"
"Let return to Namibia and come later when the situation may be calm here."
They were caught by surprise. No one in the car was expecting a huge personal security at the borders. They could see even big combats fight vehicle at the borders and could hear the engine of coming tanks.
"If we return we will be suspect and the coming police and militaries car will stop us."
"Let try to hide some of the thing"
They were expecting to sleep at the Namibian's border and cross the border the next day in the morning. But were surprise to see the men in uniform all over the place. The immigration at the border worked from 7 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon.
They couldn't go back either because many military tanks were coming to reinforce the border post.
They saw at about 1 kilometer, the man in uniform searching the truck and the cars parked at the border in a queue.
They were heavily armed and they wanted to make sure that they are not suspect too.
The youngest in the male who was in the group of robbers confessed to his friends as he was very scared of the tied security at the border Namibia and South Africa: "My intention primarily was not to steal but was to save lives but the driver was the first one to started stealing"
This young man has watched first how the elder started stealing. Then he got in the rhythm too when he saw a shining watch on the plane crash passenger. Then took it then next to him he saw a wallet lying done.
It was a party for the car passenger as they were quickly taking the possessions. Some of them just lying down.
The driver who was not scared of the security told the worry man: "You are big enough to make the right choice. They where no survival when we got there. No one forced you to join us in the stealing process."
"How are we going to cross the border?"
They were expecting to sleep at the border post waiting for tomorrow morning to pass the border to open but they were still no time to rest at late night. They could see heavily armed soldier searching the cars at the borders.
The driver couldn't return as the Namibian tanks were coming and one of the passengers gave an idea: "Let hide in some of the jewelries and some stuff. Let pray that they do not suspect us of stealing. Any way we will tell them that there are our belongings from Angola"
Meanwhile in the Bushmen village. All the wise men and traditional healer were trying to heal the injured survivors. They were using their traditional medicine based on the traditional plant roots. The lost in less than 2 hours tree peoples. All the survivors were in critical condition as they decide what to do with the people who died in their hands: "We lost already tree of the wounded man what can we do now?"
Those people who never even take any tablet in they life lived entirely on they traditional medicine. They had more than 200 roots and plants used for they traditional medicine. Only about 80 plants were eatable. The Kung bushmen were genius knowing to make the poison used on they arrow only to kill the animal and not to harm them when they eat the animals.
African was more scared of Bushmen than snake.
On top of that they knew the names of each and every 200 plants and roots used for they traditional medicine and for food.
They were very upset that they were unable to save the life of those people they took with them. The wise man and the traditional doctors plus the students were busy helping each other to save the life of those passenger without knowing who they were, where they come from and were they where going.
"We have to bury them far away from our village." suggested one of them.
"No let bury them here."
"No, let bury them far away from our village because when the governmental officials will come to look for those people they may suspect us of wrong doing and kill them intentionally they will not recognize our effort to heal them and they may ban our traditional medicine."
They had in the past a lot of conflict with the government official for refusal to let the civilization to get in their land. This could be a good excuse for the government to force them to leave their traditional medicine and rely on the new modern medicine: "You are right" he supported his colleague "Let bury them far from our land. Let send some of our people to bury the dead people in the bush not in our cemetery."
"The burial process must be fast. We will bury them this night instead of waiting for tomorrow."
"How many people can we send to do this challenging operation?"
"10 people may be enough."
They send 12 Kung bushmen to go and bury the dead far away from their land. The operation was made the same day in the night at around 11 hours in the evening. They were advised to dig a big hole and put these bodies one hole.
They were no mourning of the unknown dead. They only mourn people they know and specially people of their family and tribe.
Back in England Mr. Kenny Bean wife who first was reluctant to believe to the sad news started believing to the sad news as many friends started pouring in her house to comfort her and get more information: "We come as soon we heard the sad news. We don't know really what happened as the press kept reporting the sad news"
For once the wife of Mr. Kenny Bean who couldn't believe what he was seeing on the television started accepting the facts. Many people were coming and the phone line was still ringing.
She decided to take the phone and heard: "I still not believing to the sad news. I pray and hope that the sad accident news may be a false report�I have been sitting in front of this TV for hours now."
She heard a knock at the door. When she open a door she saw he neighbor coming to comfort him. They entered in the living room watching on the wall the pictures of Mr. Bean. The couple�s marriages pictures, different awards on the wall. And a bunch of book on the cupboard and they were very sad: "We are really sorry. It seems they may be some truth in what the press is reporting"
She went to responding to the telephone hoping that it the last call of the night. It was a friend who comforted her: "I didn't know that Mr. Kenny Bean was on the plane. It only late at around seven that the press identified the passenger aboard and they talked about Mr. Kenny Bean too. I couldn't believe what I heard from the media."
She decided now to answer to the people pouring in her house at night. Mr. Bean was popular in the neighbouring:
It was painful for Kerry as our relationship with Mr. Kenny Bean had improved since he was realized from jail. Mr. Bean blamed her before for not visiting him regularly while he was in jail. He blamed Kerry for neglecting him. He suspected Kerry of having an affair with another man. Kerry really apologized and they make up our differences. Kerry didn�t understand why is news agency chose to send him in Africa, they were many reporters and journalists who may be send to Africa. Kerry used to see him Mr. Kenny Bean many months in prison and after his realized and before his arrest Kerry used to see him everyday next to her to my bed when he was in London. Now they won't see him for the rest of my life. Mr. Kenny Bean used to be very controversial man but it what Kerry loved in that man.
She stood for a short silence, every body were touched and were short of words to comfort her: "I loved and marry that controversial man called Mr. Kenny Bean. I was and I am proud to be married to that man hated by many peoples called Mr. Kenny Bean. I will never find another man unique like Mr. Kenny Bean"
She wept her falling tears as they comforted her. She was hoping really to spend many times with her husband especially after his realize. The reporter job make very difficult for this couple to live together permanently: "Those words are very touching. We all pray and wish that the news may only be dream and false news. We hope really that it is another plane that crushed"
While watching all the conflicting reports about the plane crash and hearing all the verbal diarrhoea of the press didn't help much but gave more confusions.
Another visitor who sat in the living room watching on the television different development in the news. They were hoping to hear some survivor in the plane's crush:
We still very confused by the cause of the accident: some are saying the plane may be hit bye a missile from the rebels group from Angola in Namibia, some are saying it may a technical problem, some are saying it terrorist who are the cause of the crush and many stations still not know the exactly cause of the accident�
The neighbour who rarely stays awake at this time of the night couldn�t leave alone the woman who has just lost her husband. He was in the early 60. In never lost any of his friend or family�s member in a plane crash accident. This was really unusual to the old man.
Few minutes later another terrorist group claimed responsibility of the plane accident. "All the causes mention by different stations still speculation."
The really reason of the crash will be find in future not now. They were sure that they had no clue and the truth was still not found. What is strange too it that they are two terrorists group who claim the responsibility. They felt that may be one or those two groups sick the World attention. They were waiting for the government report and see what the English, South Africa and Namibia investigation will clarify us in their reports
Everybody worried about the terrorist activities. They were sure and convince that it was a work of a terrorist group with different report from different news agencies. "When and how these terrorism activities will end? We are now frightened of everything, we are scared of our own properties and traveling. We are not free any more. We fight these practices without eradicating it 100 %. Many terrorists are dying and many more are coming too. How to stop those practices"
"We still don't know, may be it is a mechanical failure of the plan may be it is the rebels who hit the plane in some kind of revenge and there is a strong probability that the plane have been hit by the terrorist and may be it a sabotage."
"Now we still relying in may be but from tomorrow we might have the realistic news on the exact cause of the crush."
At the border between Namibia and South Africa the security kept getting tied. The Angolan car in which were traveling the people who robbed the plane's passenger was stopped just at the entry of the border. They will still thinking about they next move: "We are caught now."
"I will never be caught." Swore one passenger "I took only things that belong to dead people. If didn't took those valuable things someone else could have took it even the rescues workers will never leave those important stuff."
The driver was the stubborn of the group was not ready to admit that he they did a crime: "It likes picking something from the street or a mall. Picking up is not stealing. We have to deny that those things are from people from the plane. We have to insist and say that we got it from Angola and we are going to sell it in South Africa."
A military tank that was parked across the borders just before the immigration office stopped the car and orders every body to get out of the car: "Every body out of the car."
They look at the soldier and the policemen and couldn't argue more but to leave their belonging in the car and leave the car. The military were ready to shoot at any time. They finger on the gun just a split move a bullet could have been out.
The passengers tried to hide in their body quick the object or things they thought were very important to them.
The woman passengers and the children were ordered to go to the female soldier to be checked. The men were ordered to go the other side.
Once the car was empty another group of five policemen entered the old blue Mercedes bus with dog.
They were searching all over. Another group went to open the engine of the car. With use light and torch they were checking everywhere.
They stepped out of the car and the military accompanied by dogs entered the car and the others soldiers stated checking passengers, as they suspect the first man: "What is in your under wear."
The suspect answered: "My private belonging."
The soldier for once believed why there is extra large condom is on the market. They well publicized a condom that was advised by the press because many people complained about the actual size of the condom.
But this really was nothing to do with the size of the private part he suspected. "Show us." He ordered.
The soldier well armed felt some kind of unusual object in the passenger underwear. The first suspect refuse to submit on the order: "I will not show you it is part of my private body's part."
"Those things I touched are not your private part." He argued, he had another feeling "I am a man too I have what you are hiding too. Please be co operative."
"This is against the human right. I will not show you my private part."
Another soldier who heard the conversation comes too to join the suspect man. The place was full of soldier wearing green uniform with policemen in blue uniform. Some had even the bullet proofs at both side of the two countries. All the nation were on a state of alert:
"We are not here to play." he said "We will force you to do what you don't want to do. Don't regret, we will ridiculous you in front of children and woman."
In the alert moment, sometime the soldier couldn't hesitate to shoot. Like they does in the combats zone or fighting were most of dead were just innocent civilians.
The others passengers standing in the queue were planning what to do and hide some of the valuable items they took. No one wanted to loose: "I am sorry" the passenger said "I am very co operative to your demand but I am telling you that it is my private part." Looking at the soldier holding the gun and just a slight move of his hand will realized endless bullet on his body. He was between life and death situation.
"We are not stupid to listen to your no sense. Come here."
The man resisted and was slapped by one of the soldier. "Show us before we are getting angry now."
The security personnel were instructed to be alert and ready at any time. The country and all the population could have been in danger. They had to do the job and capture all the criminal before the terrorist hit severely the country.
"I told you that it is my private part." the passenger said.
Then the soldier who slapped him told to his colleagues: "Just try to touch there. You will hear and feel some objects, the man do not want to show us. Feel your self."
The other soldiers felt and told him in slapping him again: "Do you think we are stupid, what is in your under wear? We are not even going deep inside but we can feel some object."
"No it is my private part."
"We will ridiculous you if you still resisting to our demand."
Many people were very scared of the soldiers than policemen. The soldier had a short temper and shoot easily like they do in the war while the policemen had the knowledge of many law they were taught and don't shoot easily. The policemen will beg a criminal but the soldier has no time to beg.
The suspect was still resisting. He wasn't ready to be the first man to be caught: "This is against the law."
"Which law?" the soldier asked.
"The human right law."
This universal excuse for many people who viewed the human right law as a protector. There is a human right law that condemns but do not act like in many Africans and world country in the dictatorship. While people are suffering, the human's right law condemns but do not help. It was why many people in those regimes have lost faith in the law.
Many people end up hating it because where people believed the criminal lives there was a law protecting them while the victims wanted revenge.
"Then you will take us to court in your country Angola." the soldier said "Because we are doing our job. We are not here to waste our time, open�"
The man didn't have any choice but to co operate with the soldiers. The soldier decided to feel for themselves. They ordered the passengers to show what he was hiding: saw jewelries and expensive watches: "Man where did you have those expensive things?" the soldier reminded him "Do those things still part of your private part"
The soldiers were amazed to see a man who was wearing cheap shoes and cheap unlabelled yellow suit showing expensive watches and jewelry.
This brought many soldiers to come and search this bus and the passengers. The dog unit reentered the bus. This time they started opening the passenger�s bag tearing with their knife. Some of the suspected managed to hide others stuff in the bags.
They were shocked to find now some of expensive and imported items and foreigner currency money especially pound money.
A group of about 100 soldiers and policemen arrived to check the passengers and their bus.
The first suspect was explaining to 5 soldiers on him: "I bought from Angola. I have a very good and wealthy life in Angola. I hide it against the gangs and robbers we may meet on our way."
"Where are you going with those jewelries, pound and dollar money and watches?"
"I am going with it in South Africa and I will wear it there."
"We understand you but you should be co operative from the beginning and you wasted our time. We have many cars to control look there how many cars and people we have to control. Wait there so we may finish checking your friends."
Out of first five male they check in the group they find them with expensive jewelries, pound plus many foreigner currency money and watches and strange enough they all hide in the under wears.
Then they started finding others object on the others passengers. Amount all the passenger no one shown to have some kind of money or being wealthy to be in possession of those expensive good.
One of the soldiers told his friends: "This is strange. I suspect those people of mal and wrong doing."
How those passenger have something in common. They all have expensive watches and jewelries hidden in the under wear? We have to ask them for slips. The all claimed they got it from their country Angola. They first suspected that they may be they stole it in Angola or even here in Namibia and are going to sell it in South Africa. They were in a highly alerted moment and we don't have to allow those people to pass the borders without showing legitimate and convincing slips.
They soldier agreed to ask for slips: "Show us all the slips of your jewelries and watches and we still searching the other men. We decide also to search the women we will call women soldier to help us."
The women soldier who were busy with the women decided to take some of the women in the toilets and search them. At this stage they were no clue between the objects the passenger were carrying and the plane accident.
The children were quick searched and checked on the scene. One passenger kept arguing.
Some of the male passenger had given some objects to the women to hide. They knew that male will be search with all the attention as possible while they women sometime will not be searched.
They got a woman hiding a diamond ring: "Our slips have been stolen and we lost the other slips."
"This is very interesting." she said "You only lost your slips not your belongings?"
"We hidden the watches and jewelries far away from the robbers couldn't see"
They find strange that all the male passenger had watches, expensive jewelry and foreigner money.
"You are all arrested and you will be questioned in our custody. You will be realized if you successful prove us wrong of our suspected thought."
"We have plenty of diamond in Angola it is why I have a diamond ring."
Angola was known and still respected for his diamond minerals. Not only Angola had diamond South Africa and Namibia had too. But in South Africa and Namibia the diamond business were strictly a government property while in Angola and other countries like Congo, Sierra Leone. Ordinary people could dig it and even private people and war lords had access to diamond. But this excuse didn't please the female soldier. "Which diamond?"
"We have diamond in Angola."
"Yes you have diamond but do not manufacture the ring in Angola."
They didn't find in possession of suspected materials. But four women were arrested in possession of suspected material. No one was in possession of any slip to prove his innocence.
They let the children and other woman free but they were waiting for the realize of male passenger and the driver to continue their journey.
After almost two hours of search they got a suit in the bus full of
Clothes, an agenda belonging to one of the plane passenger. A coupon of the airplane ticket and plenty of visiting cards belonging to an English man in one of the jacket, it belonged to Kim Cooper. They tried to find out the owner of the bag: "Who is the owner of this bag?"
This man had no time to sort out document from the money he wanted. He took the bag and the wallet with all the content.
No one responded: "I repeat, who is the owner of this bag?"
No answer: "I think I am talking to human not to trees and I expect people to talk and answer to my question."
Then one passenger answered: "We don't know?"
"You don't know and the bag was found in your car?"
"We don't know and we don't even know that bag."
"You mean we have taken the bag from another passenger in another car and we put in your car?"
"We don't know the owner because no one his responding."
"We don't have nothing against you but we are trying to do our job specially in this critical moment of high alert"
This was the proof that linked this group to the plane crashed. Immediately the authorities in Windhoek the capital of Namibia were informed. Few minutes later the press was already informed and this incident drive further the speculation of the plane crash incident.
Journalists, lawyers rushed at the borders to get more information. They suspected were kept at the local detention of the borders before being interrogated.
The small immigration post was home now to many people coming to cover the event and trying to catch all the criminals or terrorist group or a group a newly formed rebel group.
They allowed the South African press and military to help too and they crossed the border at the unusual time.
Namibia colonized by South Africa relied more on South Africa because of his technology superiority and his resources. The number one power on the continent was helping Namibia.
At around 12 hours in the afternoon all the people who come to comfort Mr. Bean wife left the house.
Mr. Kenny Bean�s wife couldn't even close her eyes as she was fixed to her television set hoping for a miracle.
Back to England, The tension was still high. One of the TV station invited some expect in security and analyst to have a look of the situation and talk about terrorism: "�The World is loosing the war against terrorism. Yet another plane has been hit by these practices. It seems in the past thirty years we have been fighting terrorism without winning�We have invited:
Professor, Paris Johnson head of the human studies department at the Oxford University, Henry Root former African affairs secretary, Mohamed Abdullah former member of the F.A.T liberation army in Palestine and Dr Kiposo Akim Malesa ambassador of Nigeria here in U.K. He started with Professor Paris: "Do you think that the World is loosing the war on terrorism?"
The professor gave his point of view: "We all feel bad when the World is still loosing many humans life from these practices especially innocent people are dying. I think the World is not loosing to this war. If we were not fighting terrorism it will have been worst"
The journalist turn to another guest in the studio: "What do you think Henry Root?"
"Personally I think the World is not loosing the war on terrorism. We have to crack down the most dangerous man who has sponsored the terrorism Osama Bin Laden and other sponsors."
He was the man behind most of the terrorism activities using his money and he power to train young people who were killing in the name of religion. He used to control a whole country Afghanistan even though we haven't caught him. Now he controls probably a portion of a cage instead of controlling the country in collaboration with Taliban.
He then asks an Arab who was in studio: "Mohamed you have been a member of one of the fiercest terrorism group in the World. Tell us what you think about terrorism?"
"Thank you for your question. We were not using only terrorism as our strategically method of fighting it was also part of some of our method. We had plenty of the strategies that we used in the training camp."
Then he asked the last guest in the studio: "Dr Kiposo, you were in Iraq before behind send here in U.K and you may tell us more as an Africa about the terrorism in Africa?"
"Thank you for the question. I wanted to add something about what my colleagues have said. I will not say that the World is winning or loosing on terrorism. And I have to mention that terrorism is not hitting America, Israel or Europe only."
It hitting every human in all parts of the World regardless their culture or religion. Today we are experiencing terrorism. There is no exception today of terrorism. He thinks that the World have lost because now every body are experiencing terrorism.
Then Doctor Paris asked for intervention: "Professor Paris you seem to have some thing to contribute on this point that Dr Kiposo has mention?"
"Of course" Doctor Paris answered "Dr Kiposo has mention something very important that all countries and peoples are experiencing those practices. It seems that they have a serious difficulties to target the developed countries and the rely now the countries where the security still under development.."
The journalist turned to Mohamed: "Mohamed what is your thought?"
"I wanted to say that it impossible to eradicate terrorism 100 %, the only way to eradicate is to diminish terrorism."
He urged the world to remember that you fight human been not machines. Human been have the capacity to change time after time and to adapt to those obstacles that the security put in place. But machine cannot change and come out with new ideas. There are programmed and only stick on those programs. He concluded: "It why I want to say that we may only diminish terrorism not eradicates it completely�"
"Dr Kiposo" the journalist asked "you have mention about terrorism in Africa tell us a little bit more about it?"
"You know that Africa is the under estimate continent in the World."
When most of the people talk about Africa they always think about a mere continent who may not be targeted by terrorism. What many people don't know is that Bin Laden had a safe heaven in Sudan for many years before he settles in Afghanistan. They are many countries who are viewed associate to those practices: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt� Those countries are entirety composed by Arabs but those countries have joined the world in the fight against terrorism.
When they talk about Arabs they do not mean that all the Arabs support terrorism. It just a very small population in the Arabs countries that support terrorism but few rotten potatoes in the big bag spoil the other potatoes. They have also a big margin of Muslim who not supports these practices. And all the terrorists are not Arab or Muslim too. Africa was hit in the nineties by terrorism remember the blast in Nairobi Kenya and Tanzania that have killed many people most of them who were innocent just ordinary people. He concluded: "I can say that terrorism do not have frontiers or borders now."
Then the journalist talked about the groups claiming responsibility of the plane crush: "What is your take about two different terrorist groups claiming the responsibility on the crash of the plane flight VOL654 from London to Johannesburg? We will start with Mohamed."
"It is amazing and very strange."
He said that he knew there are many terrorists groups, especially lately, many terrorist groups� leaders are motivated by Bin Laden and other terrorists view as their role models. And many of them are seeking attention. Some are waiting for any incident to claim attention. What is truth every group does have a very different way of operating. They may all be all terrorists but have a very different method of reaching their goal. He concluded: "It was why I am telling you that we will find out in future who is the real one perpetrator."
"Dr Kiposo what is you input?" The journalist asked.
"It also very controversial and strange to have two different terrorist groups claiming the responsibility on one plane's crash." Doc Kiposo answered "What can be sure is that one of the groups may seek attention or even both may sick attention. It still early too early to jump into conclusion. Let see only time will tell us"
"What is your thought Henry, you have been quiet for a long time?"
"It is important to wait for the final report. Namibia, South African and England expect are busy doing their investigations."
He has listened the early report on this T.V station that the plane could have a mechanical problem and the pilot was busy communicating with the operators at the Johannesburg airport. But what is strange before the line went off the heard a blasting noise in the plane. The black box may help us also in the investigations. Concerning the groups who claim responsibility, we may just be careful may be one of the group is seeking attention and the other is the mastermind behind the accident. May be both are involved may be both are lying.
"What is the way forward of fighting terrorism?" the journalist said "We will start with Paris."
"There are many way of fighting terrorism not only with gun. I always believe that there is no winner in war only lost."
He explained that some loose more and some loose less. The one who loose less proclaimed the victory. He insisted that about loose in war. There two kinds of lost: first the human side and secondly the material loss. All the guns and equipment wasted in war are material lost. Everybody knows that the war equipment are very expensive, the tax payers are the one who are suffering. They have to look more about the negotiating side rather than the fighting side.
"Henry what is your way forward of fighting terrorism?" the journalist asked.
"I wanted to correct you. It is not my way forward but the World way forward."
"Thank you for the correction you have made."
"The World way forward is too fight terrorism with war and negotiation the same time. They always say that the best defense is attack. We don't have to wait for terrorism attack to act but attack the government and countries that support terrorism."
Their policies must be also balanced .They have to look at also the terrorist demand. What really motivate them to blow up themselves? It is not only because they believe they will inherit heaven or God kingdom. They must be a reason behind that the World doesn't have to ignore.
he concluded: "If we balance our policies, I think we will diminish considerably those practices. We have to look also at the conflict like Palestinian and Israelite."
"What do you think Dr Kiposo." The journalist asked
"Henry said mostly all. I wanted to add on what he said. The Palestinian and Israel conflict is one the most challenging problem the World is facing today. We have to balance that problem."
Palestine wants to have a country with a Jerusalem as capital but Jerusalem never even been mention in the Koran. But Jerusalem has been mention hundred or even thousand time in the Bible. They don't want Jewish to have land. Where are going to live millions of Jewish?
"I have the impression that Mohamed want to add something." The journalist said.
"Dr Kiposo you got wrongs your second part of your answer wrong. We want a balanced decision and policies regarding Palestine and Israel. We don't want Jewish to leave Israel and be landless but we want the recognition of Palestine states and Jerusalem as capitol. They will never be peace if one party is unhappy. It is the longest conflict in history from the ancient time of the Bible, the Israelite and the Pharisees and the Philistines and the Samaritan."
War, problem and conflict are based on differences. If those differences are solved we may have peace. He wanted to add also that Palestine and Israel conflict is not the only cause or reason that terrorist advance or give as the motivator of wrong doing. There are many many more cause of their unhappiness. They have to admit that the problem Israel and Palestine may be one of the major causes of their act too but the terrorist have different excuses to their devil acts they view divine.
"I will ask this question to Dr Kiposo." the journalist said "Doctor they have been few speculations that the plane may be hit by a rocket from the rebels group in Africa. There are many rebel groups in Africa?"
"That is true but rebels groups have considerably diminished in the last years."
Rebels in Africa are some kind of opposition. They only way to be heard is when they take guns. Some opposition parties are not heard when they talk with mouth in some countries in Africa for example. The African leaders there do not want to leave the power once they get it. They even forge the election results to stay in control. Can you imagine a leader who is winning the election out of 10 candidates with 90%. And some countries in the World accept those illegitimate results. They have a lot to do regarding the political situation that leaves many people unhappy and in this desperation some opposition take some time arms. There are many countries who are good examples such as: South Africa and my country too. Why to talk about democracy and election if they will be cheating or just a formality? Many countries still not implementing laws that why investors very reluctant to invest in many countries in Africa. They law policies are not implement�
But few countries such as Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, Nigeria, Liberia� have set an example for a free and fair election were all the parties participated with a satisfaction of the voting�s people.
The journalist was concluding that "war was unhappiness. There is winner in war just lost materials and humans" Before bombarding the expect and analyst guests with another question.
When they were busy discussing and analyzing, the show was interrupted. Another breaking new on the development of the plane crash. The news reader comes to announce another disturbing news:
This is breaking news�The security service at the border of Namibia and South Africa have captured a group of 29 peoples in witch 14 men have been find in possession with some of the plane's passenger belonging most of them jewelries and watches. The groups of suspects are being questioned presently in custody. We don't know if those peoples are linked to the plane's crash accident�Those men are believed from Angola and may be part of the rebel's group that flee Angola for Namibia�
The biggest news of the day was the plane crash were many people from different nationalities lost their life. They were trying to get news from the different sources.
The wife of Mr. Kenny Bean didn't even sleep enough. She tried to catch sleep at around four in the morning and already at around six in the morning she was up. She decided to buy news papers to get more information and get the information she didn't hear and see on the television set:
In the morning different news papers come up with many headlines:
Another plane hit by terrorists.
Rebels have hit a plane.
The World is mourning 183 lives.
No more Mr. Kenny Bean.
Terrorism in Africa.
Plane crash with 183 peoples.
Mr. Kenny Bean rests in Africa.
Good bye Mr. Kenny Bean.
End of the road for Mr. Kenny Bean�
The truth was still unknown. The security at the borders between Namibia and South Africa was still very tied. The military and police personal were searching carefully all passengers with their bags. The cars were searched too carefully opening the boot of the engine�
Around, the borders were patrolled carefully.
The people who use to jump the fences of South Africa were also arrested in big number.
In the night the patrol group comes across of people trying to jump the electric fences for South Africa. In that group of illegal immigrant they were more interested of two people from Asia. It was a group of 20 illegal immigrant, 2 were heavily pregnant women who were hoping to enter South Africa give birth and have children grant. The man to be interrogated two Arabs from Pakistan following their brother in South Africa, they were all in their early thirties wearing ordinary clothes with Muslim caps. The police officer whose received them called them aside with other security personnel. They were not speaking very good English but they were trying to make hear themselves with their little English words they knew:
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ismael Abdul from Pakistan and my friend is Ben Aziz."
"Are you Muslim? Are you going to the mosque?"
"Yes, we are born Muslim and we attend all the activities in the mosque."
Every year thousand and thousands of people crosses the border electric fences and rivers and park entering the African economic power house. The immigration officials were even tired of some from the neighbouring country. Even once deported few hours or few days later they were already back in the land. They were tired and sick of seeing the same face every time. And some of the illegal were not shy to tell the official "I will be back soon"
The two people were the first one to be interrogated as they were viewed as the main subject. In a small office in the border immigration�s office with 4 chairs and two tables, were more than 7 officers were there to question the suspect, two journalists were allowed to enter the office too.
The police inspectors opened the windows to let the fresh air to enter in.
The chief officer looks at his colleague and said: "This is the kind of people we are looking for."
For him they were illegal immigrant, Arabs and Muslim on top of that there are young. They have to question those kinds of people and try to get in contact with their relatives in South Africa. There are premier suspects. He insisted not to waste your time in questioning a lot the other immigrants. Many are just poor men who are trying to cross the borders and get into South Africa for a better life and many are just ordinary refugee running the war in their country.
Then he continued questioning the two Arabs illegal immigrant:
"Where are you from, how did you enter Namibia and what are you going to do in South Africa?"
"We took the plane until Lusaka Zambia then we crossed the border to Angola, Namibia and then we are trying to join South Africa."
"You crossed many borders and then from South Africa you will cross the ocean to which country?"
The other's countries borders were much more easy to cross because it was only bushes and rivers and very few borders patrol people and very easy to corrupt too. But South African's border was the difficult one to cross. But they were many syndicates who were helping the illegal immigrant to cross the borders. Those were mostly people living near the South African's borders.
Many were difficult to be identified, they had double nationalities. They knew well the land many times escaping when trouble arrive and leave behind they clients.
"South Africa is our last destination."
"Who told you the way of crossing the borders?"
"Our relatives in South Africa gave us the direction and we always phone them. They are waiting for us in South Africa."
"What are you doing for a living?"
"I used to be a teacher" said one illegal immigrant "and my friend used to be a truck driver in Pakistan."
"Give me your document to prove that you are Pakistanis."
The two Pakistanis had very little baggage. Their look at in their baggage and shown their passports. The police officers were not interested in the passport as they couldn't read their writing.
"This is our passports."
The police officers kept insisting on their mission to South Africa: "What are you going to do in South Africa?"
"We are going to open a clothing shop."
One of the officer started laughing when he heard about opening a shop:
One of the police officer hated Pakistanis because he traveled to South Africa in 2000 hoping to buy his family clothes and gift. He went for the cheaper one. But on his return from South Africa and after giving his family gifts those clothes and shoes didn't last longer. They were popular called From Hong Kong because they realized that good from Asiatic countries were of poor qualities. Since then he swore to revenge and arrest the illegal immigrant especially the Pakistanis owner of the shop that brought misery.
"I see now, you are the one who brings us from Hong Kong. Do you know from Hong Kong?"
"I don't know what you mean but I know Hong Kong is a country or a city in Asia."
From Hong Kong good almost killed the textile industry in South Africa where hundred of thousand of textile industry employees have been retrenched. Not forgetting thousand of textile companies that have closed down and many tailors leaving that professional. The From Hong Kong where very much cheaper. A dress already well saw cost even less than the textile material in South Africa.
Cosatu, the South African workers syndicate has vowed war to the cheap imported good but they were still on market. Lately it was not textile good too. It was a series of many cheat and fake material on the market. Include CD and DVD. Even the entertainment industry was suffering.
While interrogating the two illegal immigrant arrived the police commissioner of Namibia Mr. Mpulu. He was accompanied by four bodyguards. He arrived on helicopter. He was decided to witness the interview and bring the suspect to justice. He was convincing that the plane was hit by a rocket from the former rebel group of Angola UNITA. Many of them fled in Angola.
He entered the office expecting to see people from that Bus from Angola but saw a Pakistanis being interviewed. He heard a Pakistanis talking: "I only know that we will meet my relatives and friends will teach us the business. What we know it that the clothing business is very successful in South Africa according to the repot from our compatriot."
He got angry to see in that office many people trying to interview the two illegal immigrants. He got angry that the police didn't follow the procedure to interview the main suspect: "What are you all doing here. Get out of the office. Who told you that to be an Arab and Muslim is to be a suspect already.
Everybody has to leave the office."
The two Pakistanis were charged with the illegal entry to South Africa and temptation to corrupt the police official who caught them on the border.
Mpulu few minutes later changed his decision he decided to use the immigration waiting room as a questioning room. This matter was for an international interest. He wanted also the press to get the news as the world was waiting for the police statement and report.
The 14 men find in possession of some plane passenger's belonging were to be questioned. The questioning room was full of reporters as a court. The reporters were determined to records all their saying. Radio and television�s stations were updating the evolution and the media was updated of the evolution of the case. The 14 passenger become very contradictory to themselves. Some where still denying and other admit of stealing or taking some plane passenger's belongings. The police inspectors who were question before charging the 14 suspect wore their blue uniforms the suspect wore their civil clothes except the driver who was in truck suit. Some of the questioners were from Namibia capital�s, Windhoek sent the best policemen to take each and every words of report and write it down as it was said.
The stubborn driver of the truck since he sleep in a cell with his 13 compatriots and other illegal immigrant while they women were taken in the woman police cell not overcrowd kept fighting with his country men. They blamed for initiating the robbery. The police had to move him from that cell and let him sleep in the police room for his safety.
Felisberto had already bruises all over his face. He got some punch from his car passengers: "You have been found with some of the belongings of passenger of the crashed plane. The rescuers workers send us some of the disturbing report that many of the corpses had no jewelries and watches."
They notice that some corpses had traces of jewelries on their neck and traces of watches on their hands but without jewelries and watches. They caught you hiding the expensive watches and jewelries into your under wear. No one of you did not produce a single slip of those of any of those objects. He questioned: "Tell us or explain us why we can have this kind of coincidence. We will start with the driver who is the chief of the group."
"I am not the chief of the group, I am just a simple driver."
"According to the report of the immigration service, you have been on this road for more than 20 years. The last time you were here it was a month ago�"
Felisberto 55 years old was not intimidated by the police and press as he look very calm in answering questions: "It is true. I always enter South Africa every two months. I am not the chief of the group."
"Yes" said the questioner "you are not the chief of the group but explain us those coincidences in you all 14 men?"
"We never rob anyone. In those 20 years of traveling I never stole even a needle. You may ask any one here, I never rob anyone in my life. I am a very dedicated Christian and my father is a big and well known pastor. You may ask any one in this room if I never stole anything or if they have heard me of stealing?"
He was speaking good English for a man who is from a Portuguese speaking country Angola; this was one of the proofs that he has traveled a lot in Namibia and South Africa English speaking country.
The questioner look at the driver who kept repeating the same things and said: "You have a big mouth. We are not talking about your father who is a reverend pastor. If your father is a pastor me also my friend is a pastor and one of my cousin is a priest. Pastor never the less are human too and are also caught in crime. You didn't answer my question."
"I am not the one who has to answer you. I need to call my lawyer from Angola to arrive here in two days or more days. This is a human abuse, every body need a lawyer."
It looked like the driver was a fast thinker and have appeared many times in courts and questioning. The police officer said: "You can talk and I think the lawyer will use the same mouth to talk too. You are even a very fast thinker to be your own lawyer. We don't have time to concentrate on lawyer. We are in an emergency court for an investigation. You may get a lawyer here if you want."
"Those lawyers are corrupt and I don't trust them. I need a lawyer who is from my origin country and who I trust 100 % and may talk in Portuguese."
They decided to take the statement and question other passenger. The driver wasn't cooperating and was wasting time. The world was still waiting of the income of this interrogation room. The driver refused to accept the legitimate of the interrogation room and refuse to show any kind of slip.
They found two translators to help for the others Anglesey who couldn't speak English.
One of the police officer get angry he was about to hit the driver when taking him in the police custody. His colleague officers hold him back in begging him to stop hitting the suspect: "Don't hit, we are under the eyes of the international press."
"This is Africa not Europe or America."
The brought a young man Fernando who was in his early twenties. His was shaking and look at very innocent. The questioner look at the young man laughed and said: "You too have been involved in the illegal activities?"
The young man already had enough of the custody. He wasn't ready to return in that room again. He hasn't been in any kind of custody before this was his first time to travel outside his country and the first time to be in the police custody:
"No, it was not me it is the driver" the passenger said "when he heard a strange airplane engine tune and the blast. He stopped the car and said that we have to go and rescue those people. We followed the smoke�s direction until we reached the accident's place."
"You are cooperative keep talking I think our report may be good for your case, may be much better compare to the driver. Tell us more�"
The police encouraged him to be honest and Fernando was praying inside for his immediate realize.
Fernando look at the police asking for question as he was writing down his report and continued: "Then we open an entry into the plane. It was full of smokes"
Another police intervene with a question: "Sorry tell us when you reached the plane's crush place, is the plane was still burning or not? And tell us how long it took you from the place you stopped the car to the crush's place?"
"It took us almost one hour to two hours of walking, I don't exactly know. We were walking in the bush following the smoke."
Mpulu the police commissioner couldn't believe to what he was hearing. They brought him a cup of coffee and were busy hearing the young man confessed.
The questioner turned his hand in saying: "Continue Fernando, you said before that you were following the smoke then when you reached at the plane's crush did you find the plane burning or you find only smoke?"
"The plane was burning little bit and the fire was almost over except some few plane parts were still burning. But when we made an entry they where a lot smoke from the plane. Many people were not burned. May be they died from smoke or suffocated. It was little dark inside."
Mpulu was disappointed how people could choose the material instead of saving the human's life first. The world has changed, the disappointed police commissioner hearing the questioning: "Then"
"Then the mission of rescuing changed when some elder in the group include the driver started taking jewelries and watches with the help of our torch. We took also some other things�We were rushing because the driver said the rescue team may on their way"
"The driver after hearing the plane a strange engine and the blast told you to go and save some life."
"Exactly."
"Then you didn't know that you were going to steal."
"No we didn't know until we reached the place of the crush then other elders include the driver started stealing."
"Tell us how long you steal or how many minutes the operation lasted in the plane?"
"I think less than 30 minutes."
The police commissioner was very angry with this group, he was sure that if only they decided to help the victims some people could have been alive by now. How cruel people has become in our days.
"Tell us what did you take personally as an individual?"
"I took 7 watches, 12 jewelries chains, two laptops and two bags of clothes."
The commissioner astonished to hear the man confessed. Most of those watches, jewelries, foreigner money were already taken by the police as proof against them. The police commissioner wondered that if the young man could take this quantity what about the others people and the driver himself. He thanked the man in uniform to have captured this group as soon as possible. If it wasn't their effort, this group could have left the country unpunished. He heard his officer taking the statement: "How did you take it?"
"From the corpses. I took some watches normally in opening the bracelet"
Mpulu urged the interrogator to give the young man a rest and to call another suspect so they may interview all the suspects. "Thank you for your cooperation."
The young man who was co operative thought that because the police said thank you that is mean is not guilty:
"That is meant, I am not guilty. You may realize me now?"
"We appreciate your honesty and we will still analyzing all your saying with your friends then we will see. But don't worry every thing will be fine. Tell us how old are you?"
"I am twenty one years old."
"What were you going to do in South Africa?"
"I was send by my parents to go and further my studies in South Africa where the education and technology are quiet advanced"
The officer shook his had hearing the years of the young man and said: "You have to stick in doing the right things. If you resisted to the bad temptation you may be acquitted from the robbing charges. It will be a shock to your family once they hear this sad news."
"I hope and pray that they don't hear this story"
"Your parents have heard already the story. It still to early to charge you as I said we have to complete our questioning"
"I was thinking because of my honesty you will acquit me."
Mpulu intervene and told the young boy that he is luckily to get a minimal sentence and be used may be as a state witness against is countrymen depending of the outcome of the interrogations.
Outside of the waiting room, the journalist where reporting what was going on the ground. It was just too full of personnel and other authority. The traveler were stop as the immigration office where used by the man in uniform.
The young man was very disappointed. The police were still writing charge reports decided to question first the younger suspect first and finish with the older suspect. They called another young suspect. He was wearing the soccer T-shirt and a jean. He was in his middle twenties is name was Santos:
They brought another police inspector to interrogate this man while Mpulu the police chief was present not ready to miss anything. He took a small smoke break and returned in the interrogation room where the interrogation proceeding started already: "I trust young people."
He knew that they don't have any reason of lying because the policemen know what have happened. He insisted that the more the suspects are cooperating with them the more they will make easy their charges too. The more they resist with lies the much harder their will make their life difficult with their charges. Their sentencing depends on the court authority. They had to choose whom who to acquit and who to will appears in court. They knew the man who influenced the passengers to steal.
They asked the suspect: "Tell is your side of story."
This young suspect had another idea compare to the previous one: "I will only tell the truth and only what I know and what I witness."
He rubbed his hands as the urged him to continue talking: "Go ahead."
"�When we when to the plane's crash. Our mission was not to rob but to save human life�Then when we reach the accident's place .We find no survivor."
Many questions have to be skip such us how they walked in the bush at night...All those question has been answered by Fernando. They were trying to use few hours to have a collective statement and make the world know of what could have happened: "Did you check if the was any survivor?"
"Yes" confirmed this passenger "I check first if we may find survivor."
"Do other people check too with you if they were survivors?"
"No, the other when we open the plane's entry rushed on passenger belongings instead of looking for survivors."
"That is meant you were the only one who checked for survivors first?"
"I don't know if the other checked for survivors too. But what I know I checked first if there were some people who were still breathing."
Mpulu wondered what Santos was saying. If they had time to check the survivors and how come they managed in the 30 minutes to check and steal at the same time?
"That is interesting." the interrogator said "How many people did you check?"
The man who was trying to play the good man answered: "I checked about tree people then I realized the where no survivor."
"Only tree people?"
"Yes" confirmed this car passenger "When I realized that all the tree passengers were dead I concluded that all the passengers could have been dead."
"Then what was your next step?"
"My next step was to pick up some stuff found into the plane."
"You mean that you pick up the stuff?"
"Yes. I didn't take from corpses their belongings but I pick up. Because in our street language we say that picking up is not stealing."
All the people started laughing by the man determined to play the innocent. The amazed questioner asked him: "You knew very well that those stuff that you picked up were not yours?"
Mpulu wondered how come dying people could have time to care about the material thing. This didn't make any sense. The interrogator just got wrong thinking that all the young people could be really co operative like Fernando.
"Yes, I knew very well that those stuff are not mine but I thought that there are thing thrown by passengers."
"The passengers always throw thins in the bin not on the floor. According to the finding you were caught with 8 gold chains, 5 watches and other stuffs. You got all those luxury stuff in the bin and the plane's floors?"
"Yes, I did get on the plane's floor and bins."
Everybody started laughing again in the courtroom. This turned too a comedy for the people in the interrogation's room. Then the charge writer continued: "Let hear what our friend is telling us. Did you see other friends of your searching the bin too and the floor?"
Mpulu the police commissioner went outside with his cell phone to make some to his office in Windhoek. He had many people to meet in the morning and gave some instructions to her secretary.
He returned and found the same suspect still interrogated.
"What are you doing for a living?"
"Actually I am some kind of jobless but I am a soccer player."
"What are you going to do in South Africa?"
"I am going to attend some soccer trials in South Africa."
"That is good. Let come little bit to our subject. I am 55 years old and I am your father when we compare years my age and your age. I have seen and experienced many things in life more than you. Do you agree?"
"Yes I agree."
In his all life he never see, never heard or even never meet someone who pick up in a bin 5 watches, 8 gold chains and important stuffs. Only papers, grasses and old books in the bin.
He insisted: "My son, let me call you son. My son, please can you explain to your father and friends this phenomenon of finding on the floors and bin watches and other luxury material?"
The police commissioner had enough has he told the interrogator to bring others suspect.
He concluded on this suspect: "This man is not fit to stand a trial, he should be sent in a mental institution."
The day was very long as they questioned every suspect.
Out of 14 male suspects: nine were honest and 5suspects include the driver were not cooperative. Out of 4 women 3 were very co operative while one wasn't.
What is true it that the suspects were not terrorists but only volunteers rescuers who turned they mission in robbery.
In Johannesburg, the rescuers teams chief Derick and airport technical chief Kumalo realized in a press conference their findings. More than 20 reporters and journalist were at the conference at the man airport. The rescuers team chief was the first one to realize the report. Wearing red and white paramedic suit said:
Because of many formalities and authorization from the Namibian government to land on his soil they arrived at the scene tree to fours hours after the accident. They didn't find any survivors. They believe that all the 183 passengers were dead long before our arrival. They collected 176 bodies and 7 believed to be burn behind any recognition or may be missing. They also find some bodies out of the plane, they believe they were the few who tried to escape but eventually died from their injuries. They also find many bodies with watches and chains traces but were not having watches and jewelries on them. They believe that some criminal stole some of the goods and may be also responsible of the 7 missing bodies if they were not burned .They find one watch on the floor and two chains. It is strange because only 17 people had watches and chains out of 176 corpses collected.
A journalists asked his name was Thembi from Independent Press agency. "Do you believe that if you arrived early at the scene you could save some life?"
"I will answer this question by yes and no."
Yes because out of 183 passengers they could have find some resistant passengers who could handle the accident shock. This didn't happen in an ocean or sea but happen in a bush. The situation is more complicated in large water. No because the shock and the blast could unable no one to resist. We believe that the shock was strong and brutal at the same time. But it was impossible to reach that specific area in five minutes.
"My name is Harriet Wilson from radio 702." another reporter said "Tell us when you arrived, did you find the plane burning?"
"No, the fire was over except one part of the engine was still burning. But there were a lot of smokes?"
Harriet continued with a quick follow up question: "Do you believe the criminal could have extinguished the fire before getting inside the plane?"
"I don't believe so; they don't have the material to extinguish a big fire. In fact the fire caught specially the engine and people inside were suffocated and had a problem to breath. Few corpses were burned not the majority of passengers."
Another reporter asked for a question: "My name is Ann Petry from T.V 1news. Do you think the fire in the engine have started before or after the plane�s crash?"
"I am sorry I cannot answer this question. It a question that you may ask to the technical team chief Kumalo. My job was to rescue and collect bodies and report the state of the corps too."
Then the technical expect took the speech for the first time, he looks very exhausted. Since the plane crash he was awake the all night coordinating all the operation. He had little rest as he had to give many press interviews and come up with a report in few hours after the accident:
"I am sorry that I have to ask the question that was addressed to the rescue team's chief. But before I answer this question suffer to listen to my report first. It will be a very short report:"
He started to describe the incident:
The plane's flight VOL654 from London to Johannesburg started experiencing mechanical problems in his 8 hours of flight. The pilots communicated with the control room in Johannesburg and insisted that the plane was not responding to the command. It happens fast that the communication line went off. But they recorded the message and for security reason we may not realize the conversation now. But before the line went off there were a big blast in the plane and few seconds later the control lost contact with the crushed plane.
He took a breath and continued to explain: "In short I said will tell you this, First the plane was experiencing a mechanical problem the plane was not responding to the command. Secondly, the huge blast that occurred after the mechanical problem. We believe the blast may be one of the engine that caught fire or the sabotage from terrorist too. I think I have answered to your question too."
As the technician gave are few reports many reporters started asking many questions on the possible cause of the crush. One journalist get a chance to be asked the question among many reporters: "My name is Ifi Amadiume from Zambia news. The plane is a South African plane from the company premier airline. Tell us is the plane was in good condition to take a board many passengers and goods?
"The plane was a passenger plane and they were very little goods inside."
This is South Africa not other country in Africa were the plane kilometers and security standard are not respected. They respect all the international requirement. The plane had many flight hours left; he estimated it to 5 more years of flight. "My name is Alda Lara from Zimbabwe Press. This question is addressed to the rescue team's chief. Do you think that some of your rescue personals may take or steal some of the valued items in the plane as suspected? We always get some few claims that some of the rescue team members steal some good too."
"This never happen in our team."
He has a professional team composed of professional rescuers and paramedic. If this incident is found among their personal they take action and fire on spot the perpetrator. He insisted: "Trust us we never do those things. I thank God that they caught the criminal at the border of Namibia and South Africa. If they were not caught I think our job especially mine could have been on the line for something we don't even know."
More confusing report and conflicting report surrendered each and every accident in the earth. People could watch different Television's channel and listening too many radio's station and read many newspapers, they were sometime different report on the same accidents. This diarrhoea verbal brought more confusing. Then come various statement from different sources and the police statement.
CHAPTER FIVE: TOP SECRET PART 1
All the secret service of powerful countries, include the whose are involved in the indirectly and directly in the plane's crush accident met to try to find out the reason behind the plane 's crush accident; those who had citizen on the plane and South Africa neighbouring countries.
Many in the really stage didn't have a clue in what may caused the accident. Many speculation and many rumor where spread by the media.
IN WSHINGTON.
The central intelligence met trying to look at the cause of accident. Twenty respectable investigators and CIA personnel met to discuss the airplane crash.
"This is definitely a terrorist act."
The American swore war to all the terrorism activities in the world and increased that fight since the Sept 11 2001.
It was too early to jump in conclusion. The South African plane cannot crash without any reason behind.
Since the September 11 incident. They decided to inaugurate the war against terror with their closest allies. They used to have the cold war and now the cold war is over and his replacement is war against terror. They have now devil reformer like Osama and other people who are blessing the terrors network who has replaced the dictators such us Hitler.
"The best way to defend ourselves is to attack. We have to look at the roots of the problem before getting a solution."
They were supported by numbers of countries in that fight against the terrorist activity. South Africa is one of the power houses in Africa who joined in the war against terrorist. Tanzania and Kenya who experienced terrorism were determined too to end those practices in a continent that is hit severely by poverty already.
"South Africa is the only recognized democratic country with all the democratic institution in Africa. Many Africans countries were lands under colonists now that all the countries have gain independence, the colonist is replace by dictators."
"Who is good and who is bad in Africa?"
Of course they have been a major improvement in peace in the continent. In Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Chad, Guinea the fighting are over. In Congo Brazzaville they enjoy a little fragile peace but not a guaranty. In Burundi, Rwanda they still has some minimal problem after the genocide. In Congo democratic, Ivory Cost the negotiations seem has brought some hope to the local population. In Sudan, Somalia the fighting parties are sitting on the negotiation table to try to solve their problem. In Uganda, Central republic things are not very alarmist.
Since the end of the cold war, many conflicts in Africa have ended. But it looks like the terrorism want to replace the war conflict: "The still a concern of those peace, there are all fragile peace as long that the democratic institution are not fully effective and implemented in place. Any things can happen"
"As long many parties and people still oppressed, we may not talk peace in that continent. What is true is that since the end of cold war two many countries in Africa and the world may enjoy peace and stability."
Remember that before the attack of terrorist in America, they hit first Africa in the nineties in Kenya and Tanzania. The terrorists may use the unstable continent and their poverty to use it as a training land. With the corrupt and bribery of some leaders anything happening in Africa still a major treat not only in Africa but in the all world.
Africa was once again on the map. It strange how a plane crush can affect not only the airplane company, or the family of the deceased but everybody and the entire World: "We thought that after the communism the devil was defeated but he is coming in other form called terrorist. The struggle is not over still continuing."
"There is no room to rest we have to look at that matter seriously before is too late."
"May be it is a technical problem that may cause the accident."
"At this stage it possible that it may be a technical problem. It is possible that it may be a terrorist act. Many small terrorist networks have claimed the responsibility."
They were ready to send their technical stuff and investigator if the African weren't ready to find the exact cause of the accident and the cause. At this stage they had faith that South Africa was able to do the job.
"It more luckily that many are searching for attention."
"There is never a smoke without fire."
"We have to look at all possibilities. The plane may have been hit by rebel fraction too."
"Anything is possible at this stage of the investigation."
"Who is the responsible?"
"Still a mystery now."
"We have to clean all the terrorists from Asia, Europe and Africa. Include in South America too."
"We have to fight them in all the lands of the world without any except."
"Bin laden used to control a all country with his friend the Taliban now he may still control a cage if is still alive."
With less security implementation in many African countries, the world was scared that the terrorist could make this continent their safe heaven. They had every reason to help this continent: "There is a small proof that he may still even alive."
"You never know, may be he still alive but it is not effective like he used to be."
"The war had paid but we a lot to do stop the devil."
"Everything is possible with the strategically use our resources and a precise approach toward the new challenge that we face."
"We will definitely win the war but it may take some time to enjoy the effort we are presently doing. The generations to come will benefit our present effort."
"Do we need to help South Africa to investigate the accident?"
"South Africa is a very respectable country. Let them investigate."
They refused jump in conclusion, it likely that the accident was caused by a mechanical problem. They don't have to rush in doing investigation we may waste time and money. South Africa had all the necessaries requirement to conduct a very fruitful investigation.
The American were not only concern about the terrorist but were also very concern about it citizen who are in many part of the world. South Africa was home to many American citizens too:
"We have lost 18 American lives?"
"If it is a terrorist, it was not targeted to America only because South Africa had lost many lives and there are the owners of the engine."
"They are also terrorists in South Africa and many African's countries."
Not only in South Africa. Terrorist are all part of the world. The don't have any specific country. Al qaeda is a network supporting all the terrorism activities in all part of the world. The work as an intelligence service for their own cause.
"How can we beat the terrorist network?"
"It why we are here meeting to look for the strategy to crack down the terrorists."
"I suspect that Savimbi elements may hit the plane in Namibia?"
"Namibia?
"Yes" At this stage anything is possible."
They knew that Savimbi is dead and his party have join the national government in Angola. They don't have to neglect Savimbi 's rebels involvement. First Namibia share borders with Angola. Many rebels could have crossed the borders in Namibia. They were sure many UNITA, Savimbi rebel group have crossed the borders. It is very easy to cross borders especially in Africa where the security system is not tight enough to control the movement of people. Those uncontrolled element are able of anything may be just to revenge their defeat in Angola.
"Still too early to jump into conclusion, if the plane was hit by the missile, South Africa may let us know."
"It is possible, the plane caught fire. Anything hitting the plane whether is a rocket, whether is a missile may cause the plane to burn."
"We have two statements of the possible cause of the accident. Terrorists activities or a possible strike on the plane."
"Let say tree, terrorists, rebels or even a mechanical problem."
"Let me explain why two: I don't think that Savimbi rebellion: Unita could have some long range rocket or missile? Let consider the terrorist attack and mechanical problem."
Savimbi had the best equipment. He was controlling diamond's land in Angola while the government had oil's part. He was well equipped. He was getting ammunitions from South Africa in the South and Congo Kinshasa from the north. Many arms were even bought here. There was a time when he was controlling 80% of Angola. The only part left was the capitol Luanda. When it comes to arms and the capacity of his troops he was not to be undermined. He hit before many civilian planes and may hit again a civilian plane. Savimbi was the well known rich rebel in the world and had good sponsors on this side. In the cold war even America and South Africa not forgetting they long time allied Mobutu of Congo supported Savimbi. While Cuba of Fidel Castro and Russia supported the government of Angola.
Savimbi was strong but in the late nineties he lost his strength. With the end of apartheid he was not able to get the arms from the south. In Congo with the fail of Mobutu he was not able to get the arms from the Congo. Angola government made sure to secure the north region to cut all the suppliers to Savimbi.
He always found a way out. He was using Zambia on the east of Angola. The Angola government warned Zambia for supplying arms to UNITA of Savimbi.
"If was still strong, he could have been alive until today." wondered a CIA member.
He was on the run when the governmental soldiers killed him. The Angola government had seized a big part of Angola before killing him.
Savimbi once the richest rebel in the world fought against the Angola government for 28 years. The government fail to end the war, may be they changed tactics. Kill the head and the rest won't stand the war. Proof when they killed him and his vice who was determine to pursue the war, they war was over. They killed before thousands of soldier without ending the war.
"The most important strategy is to target the heads. But it doesn't work hundred percent, sometime when you kill the heads of the trouble some makers, the other elements create many more groups."
Because of the strength of Savimbi rebel troops Angola's soldiers has become the best fighter in the continent while the Rwandese soldier because of the genocide and the perpetual fight has become the most disciplined and patriotic small army fighting for survival.
This approach works sometimes and sometime it doesn't work but in general this method is very effective. When you got the leader continue to fight all the divided elements. Target both at the same time by starting with the high hierarchy to the lower one.
"In conclusion what can we do."
"Let see the out come of the investigation from South Africa and other countries include Namibia."
They had trust in South Africa and decided to wait for the outcome of their investigation.
IN LONDON
The intelligent service in London met to try to find out the cause of the accident. Thirteen security agents met to discuss the plane�s crash cause. Under the leadership of the chief investigator, Brown Dash. They decided to go into investigation in identifying the passengers from the embassies, home affairs, intelligence sources and other immigration agencies:
The plane left London to South Africa, apparently they was no sign of a mechanical problem.
"I believed that the plane was hit by a missile or a rocket." suspect one secret service agent.
"Who may be behind the accident?"
How effective the new technology has brought and easy many things. They were able to study the identity of all the people on the plane just with the information got by the net. It is amazing how the investigation has become more effective with the help of the new technology.
Brown Dash was able to use more than 140 computers and expect and his 20 peoples in his investigation team to study the identity and the biography of the passengers with the help of the home affairs and the immigration offices:
"We don't have to confirm that the plane has been hit by a missile but this could be a terrorist action."
"Definitely the were terrorist aboard."
"Which terrorist?"
"The Pakistanis who were aboard."
"I dismiss that statement" argued these personnel "12 Pakistanis were aboard but not all the Arabs are terrorists?"
�But" responded this secret agent "Most of the terrorist are Arabs"
"Most" said this man "but many too are not Arabs"
Many Arabs or Muslims has been complaining that in some part of the world they were discriminated and even being often suspected and associate to terrorism activities. They even complained that many of they church services has been monitoring. It was unfortunately too that the action of many terrorist has a serious impact to them too. Every time there was terrorist treat they were the first one to be searched and searched with vigorously.
The police too have explained many times that they always catch most of the suspected terrorist being Arabs and associated to Muslim religion. They regret that the majority of them are not terrorist but few people has spoil they reputation in many part of the world. They knew that not all of them were part of the Johad.
They decided to study the identity of the Pakistanis student aboard of the plane. Brown Dash was able to communicate with the world via telephone line too get the information of the passenger. He was assigned to study the biography of the passengers.
The first call he made was to call: "...I am Mr. Brown Dash, chief inspector of the British intelligence service. I am investing the plane's crash accident were four of your student were aboard. They were heading for South Africa via London to study at the university of Cap Town. They names are: Mohamed Saidi, Abdulah Saidi, Perez Ismael, Allawi Fahat.
Then the students were awarded a scholarship to university of Cape Town. He decided to contact Cap Town University to have a conformation. And the university confirmed that they were expecting them.
Brown Dash satisfy with the two first calls, put the matter on the table to analyzed their identities:
"It is clear, we don't have to suspect them any more but let get a confirmation from the university of Cap Town in South Africa."
Brown Dash, informed his colleagues the university of Cap Town confirmation too. The university of Cap town has confirmed their registration with the institution. He thinks they may look at other passengers from Pakistan and moves to others.
"Let look at others passengers identity, let finish the Pakistanis passenger us we started with them"
They start with diplomatic personals who were aboard the plane:
Aziz Mohamed: 35 years old, married and father of two children. He worked in Tunisia for two years, he is graduate for the university of Oxford. He was going to South Africa, in mission. Before heading for South Africa he spends two weeks in London.
Zafaraniya: 50 years old, married and father of two. He worked for the Pakistan embassy in USA, Canada, Japan before permitted to Algeria. We don't have is formal training information with us:
"The two diplomatic employees are not concern but we haven't finished the investigation yet."
"The diplomatic are not concern but we may not dismiss any report linking them to any terrorist organization."
"Let look at the two nurses."
The two nurses
Mohamed Jasim: 28 years old nurse in Pakistan. He have studied and graduated in Pakistan. He once worked in Saudi Arabia for two years. He was going to South Africa to look for a new job in the same sector.
Numan Al Nima: 30 years old nurses mother of two. Studied and raised in Pakistan, she is as widow. Her husband passed away last year and she was romantically involved to Mohamed Jasim. They both were coming to settle in South Africa to start a New life.
"Any question about the two nurses."
"We could have found out where, they were going to stay." Suggested one secret agent "We supposed to know if they had any invitation?"
"According to the home affairs reports here, they were going to live with their best friend Jagbar."
Jagbar was a business man well established in South Africa for the past 5 years. After a series of phones call in Pretoria called now Tshane the capital of South Africa and the Pakitanese embassy in South Africa they got hold of Jagbar.
Brown Dash called him, Jagbar was not very good in English but they could understand him: "May I speak to Jagbar?"
"Jagbar speaking."
"We wanted to ask you if you know a certain Mohamed Jasim and Numan Al Numa."
"Yes" confirmed Jagbar "Yes I know them. Unfortunately they all passed away in a plane crushed."
"Are they very good friend to you?"
"What did you say?"
Brown Dash has to speak very slowly for the Pakistanis to understand while recording the conversation to analyze each and every word that Jagbar said. Each and every word was very important for they analyze.
"I wanted to know, how are they related to you?"
"In fact Mohamed is a cousin to my mother. Numan is Mohamed fianc�e; they were coming here in South Africa to look for a job."
"Which job?"
"It doesn't matter" the stressed Jagbar said "they all passed away in the plane crash accident."
"We know that we wanted to know their field of work?"
"Who are you to ask me many questions?"
"I am Dash a very good friend to them. I heard that they were getting married and I was about to give them a gift or a job"
"Give me the gift." Jagbar said "I have Kadhimiya, cousin of mine who is looking for a job too."
Brown Dash regretted why he hide his identity while in other calls he didn't hide his identity. He regretted that it wasn't a wise move this time while trying to fix the mess.
"I don't think that he may qualify for the job." Brown said "Is he a nurse too?"
"No he is a teacher is not a nurse like Mohamed and Numan."
This was an answer he wanted to hear. He wondered what he could have said next if Jagbar was a nurse too?
"Alright" Brown said "I will call back thank you."
"What is your phone number?"
"I don't have a phone" Brown excused himself "I am calling from the public phone."
This didn't help Jagbar wanted to have is phone number. He was ready to call back the caller who wasn't interested to be contacted and to let know is identity for may be professional reason.
"What is the phone number of that public phone?"
"Let me check" He took some time off without saying nothing pretending to search for the phone number on an imaginary public phone "I don't see the number but any way I will call you back."
"I will wait for your call, what is again your phone number?"
"I told you that I don't have a phone number, I am calling from the public phone."
"I forgot what your name is again?"
"Dash."
"Dashy?"
"Exactly" Brown trying to end the conversation and get back to work. "See you my coins are finished."
"Thank, thank you."
Then Brown Dash told his colleague: "A very difficult man to deal with but very cooperative."
He has given them the confirmation. He knows them, an interesting detail that we don't have here and may add on the document here. He is related to Mohamed. Mohamed is cousin to his mother or something like that. For an European sometime it was difficult to take time in trying to see the long related story. They often has problem to identify how African were related such: "Child of uncle of my aunt of the cousin to my mother's father third wife..." That was giving them the impression that everybody in Africa and some part of the world where just related. While African agreed with proud: �Everybody is a member of the extended family".
"Let look at the Pakistanis family." urged another agents.
"Yes, the Pakistanis family."
The father's name is Semid Al Sarraf, 39 years old business man. He has been in South Africa 8 times, in London 14 times, in USA 7 times and many counties.

They two children are Mohamed Al Sarraf who was 8 years old and Massoud Al Sarraf a 5 years boy.
"There may are not suspect at all."
"No" said one secret agent. "We may pass to other passengers."
A man who is a business man having been in many countries in the world and a father of a family is likely not been involved in any kind of terrorist activities sacrificing his life and his family lives.
"May be he was a sponsor of terrorists?"
"In this case we don't have any kind of confirmation."
"Let move on."

The country that was faced by more than 6 millions conflicts many Congolese had become refugees in Europe and many part of the continent.
Many countries didn't have direct flight to many European country, used South Africa as the transit land.
Drown Dash wasn't feeling fatigue. He forgot even the lunch time as he was stuck in the office with the other investigator to study the identity of all the passengers on the plane and see if they were a link to terrorism and compare to other report. His report was very crucial.
"Let move on the Moroccan waitresses."
"The two Moroccans are"
Ayatollah Talabani, a 25 years old waitress. She is single and has been living in UK for the past twelve years. Her parents are Moroccan immigrates. They still leave in U.K. When it comes to formal education, she was a computer literate and have been working us a waiter for the past five years with the same boss, Jules Bon the French man.

She was first living with his brother Awadi Hakim before moving in her own place to share a flat with Talabani. She was a matriculated with no tertiary school qualification.

Both were going to work in South Africa for the same man Jules who opened a new restaurant in Hatfield, Pretoria South Africa. Jules wanted their expertise to teach the South African waiter Jules approach to attract clients. They both had a six months visa.
They analyzed: "The two had a lot in common; there are both Moroccans and works in the same restaurant with the same boss and lived together."
They have been too in the past some women terrorist and they wanted to analyse every body even the woman.
There are not related because they names are very different.
They are good friend of the same generation: 25 years and 24 years.
"There is nothing wrong about theirs friendship." Said one agent "It is possible that Talabani have introduced Barzani to Jules for the work. They seem to be detachable."
They decided to call Jules their woman's boss, to get some clarity.
He didn't take long Drown Dash to get in touch with the women's boss of many years.
"Hallo, can I speak to Jules please?"
"Jules is not around. Who is speaking?"
"I am Dash."
"Dash, is it in connection with what?"
"I am head of the investigation team; we are investigating the cause of the accident that killed his two waitresses on their way to South Africa."
"Try this number."
Dash has many methods, to some people he didn't want to me known and to some people he let them know that he is an investigator.
They were talking to Jules�s wife and didn't have enough time to return to the same subject. They decided to contact Jules by his work number:
He called the second telephone number and got the restaurants owner: "...I am Brown Dash chief of the investigation team to try to find out the possible cause of the plane's crush in which were traveling your two waitress: Tabalani and Barzani."
"I know them." confirmed the restaurant owner.
"We wanted to get a confirmation from you. Do you know them?"
All the conversation was recorded for analysis and further investigation.
Jules loved those two women who worked for him for many years. He heard the sad news and mourned the death of his two employees.
"I know them; they were to me like my daughters."
He started the business with Tabalani and one years later she introduced me her friend Barzani. They were his best waitress and very dedicated to the job.
"I am very sorry that you have lost them." Dash told the worried restaurant owner "Tell me do you other activities they were doing outside the job?"
"I know them perfectly, outside the job they used to hand out with my daughter Catherine."
They were not involved in bad activities; they were both Muslim and very dedicated to the religion.
"Thank you for your time, we may call you in the future to ask you more questions."
"It will be my pleasure"
Brown and his team analyzed the short conversation: "Jules said that he knew them and they were not involved in suspicious activities, they were both Muslims." confirmed Brown Dash.
"Being a Muslim doesn't mean association to terrorists." One agent said.
"Being a Muslim do not automatically qualified you in the terrorist activities." the main investigator said "Many terrorist are Muslim but not all the Muslim is terrorists."
They decided to have a short break after 6 hours of intense analyses of the group of passengers. They decided to leave that room after a total analysis of all the passengers.
They returned after 30 minutes. And Brown Dash was back leading his team:

"We don't know but he was sent by his new agency boss to cover these events."
"I am suspecting him because he has been so controversial and has been in jail for a crime."
"I think that you got it wrong." Brown dash told to his team members "Kenny Bean had served his sentenced and was back in the community. It doesn't mean that if you were in prison, you are automatically linked to the criminal activities."
"If they have to be a British citizen involved in the unusual activities, the first man to be suspected has to be Mr. Bean."
"That is your point of you."
"Let see the last group, the South African group."

"We talked at the beginning of the meeting that the two volunteer workers in Iraq could have may be develop some friendship with the insurgent there."
"We don't think so, instead there are lucky not to be kidnapped. Many volunteers have been kidnapped in Iraq. The have done a good job, let the terrorist thought out of our mind."
"There is no way that the two volunteers were associated with insurgent. Saddam have been suspected of supporting terrorist but these statements are not proven up to date. I doubt that the two volunteer could have been linked in those activities."
"Let have a look at Eddy Jabu."
Eddy Jabu was a traditional healer.
"May be he had some chemical mix that blow a plane?"
The have caught before some people trying to blow a pl;ane with the chemical under they shoes. Even thought many didn't succeed any unauthorized chemical on the plane can be dangerous. But Jabu had with him plants roots, animal�s parts and some stones. It believed that he was invited in London by a rich African who believed only in his ancestors� medicine.
Some of the investigator laughed loudly. It was just a good jokes but Brown dash wasn't amused:
"This is ridiculous, Jabu couldn't blow the plane. He eventually travels with the traditional plants roots. Those roots could never blow the plane."
"They do not use roots, they used other medicine too."
"Of course, they used mainly roots and some animal bones and skins. Don't tell me that those products will blow the plane."

They decided to immediately realize their founding after more than 18 hours of analysis and discussion on the plane's passengers and crew members. They have not found any man or group of passenger linked to any terrorist organization. They suspect that the plane may have been hit by a missile or rocket in Namibia or it was purely a malfunction that led to the engine failure. We are very happy with the intelligent analyzes that we made.
In conclusion, all the passengers on the flight were honest, innocent and responsible citizen of the world.
"Brown Dash, we have to get contact with our colleagues to South Africa and Namibia to have their findings."
"I am doing the final reports then I will get in touch with my colleagues in Africa. We have helped them to find the identification of the passengers. Half of the investigation is found."
Since the London bombing England has become very alert of the terrorism activities around the world.
The U.K investigation team realized the reports on all the plane�s passengers. In their investigation, they didn't find any terrorist suspect. For them the plane could have been hit by a missile or it was a technical problem.
CHAPTER SIX: TOP SECRET PART 2
The nation who felt very concerned in the accident directly or indirectly met to try to look at the incident. Many nation met in they secret location to see the incident.
ANGOLA
In Luanda. Angola the country North of Namibia, the country that has been ravaged by a 30 years old war. The souvenir of the war drama was still very much alive in his citizen.
The end of the war brought some kind of new relieved in that country and the future seems very prosperous.
But the image of the plane crash could have jeopardized the investors who were coming in number to uplift the economy in that country. All the country of the world was still very much waiting their statement.
In Luanda the capitol of Angola, various dignitaries met to see the claim that the rebel group could have hit the airplane. UNITA of Doctor Savimbi has to defend is no involvement in the plane crash. UNITA the former rebel movement were also invited:
"It is sad that the terrorist�s action is happening in Africa too."
"The strong claim that UNITA could have hit the airplane are stronger. The British and many countries suspect UNITA."
UNITA is now a peaceful movement; we have stopped fighting two years ago. They decided to lay down their gun and be a very peaceful political organization. After many years of fighting, it brought pain and misery to millions of his citizen:
"But many of the UNITA elements are hiding in Namibia."
The rebels who are hiding in Namibia are not involved in criminal�s activities. They are group of former fighter who has chosen to live in Angola after the war. They do not fight; they choose Namibia as they second lands. They live with their family, farming and doing others things. They don't hold heavy ammunition like arteries or rockets never the less Rockets. Most of them are refugees, who are waiting to see if they may return home.
"Some of those elements were involved in various criminal activities?"
UNITA was a huge movement and still the second largest movement in Angola. Some parts of Angola have ninety percent of the population supporting UNITA. More than hundred thousand fighters composed the movement, it quiet difficult to control all those elements. Many have integrated the national army and some did not integrate the army. Some are civilians, some have turn into criminals.
"If you recognize that some have been criminal that mean there is a high possibility that those uncontrolled elements have hit the plane?"
"Why to hit the plane?"
"Because they could revenge they defeat." suspected the government secret agent� May be to revenge the death of they leader Savimbi killed by governmental troops"
"Witch defeat?" The former UNITA agent said.
The war a bad souvenir that Angolese never wants to hear. Not only many numbers of they loved one were killed but all the infrastructure left by the colonist Portuguese were almost destroy. Seeing everyday those building with bullet and bomb mark was still a bad reminder. If they were people who celebrated peace was the Angolese people.
Who didn't run in the bush for his safety in many Angolese town. While hearing those heavy guns machines. Who will forget numerous mines who take off human's leg. Angola was happy to join Mozambique for peace. Even UNITA and government swore never to fight but try to work together.
Who will forget a fragile peace that took part in 1991 when Savimbi was even the premier minister of the country just for the war to return after the election?
"Being beaten by the national army."
"This is ridiculous" The UNITA agent defended "we never been defeated, we chose peace. Look we have been fighting for more than twenty five years and we never got a solution."
They insisted that when Savimbi the UNITA leader and his vice were killed we decided to choose peace. Fighting for many years didn't bring solution to the country's crisis. Now that they have chosen peace we see the light, many people died in the war including many innocent. They don�t want to return to the bad practices. Angola is the country that has the most amputated civilian in the world. Many innocent civilians have lost their most important body's part legs and arms in the various mines explosive around the country. Thousands to millions people have lost their lives with the long war. They were happy that they have chosen peace, it working for both of them too.
"We are aware of the progress of the peace but we are also very concern about those uncontrollable elements around the continents?"
Few uncontrollable elements are in the North in DR. Congo, in the South in Namibia at the east of the country in Zambia. There is no one in the west because of the sea. Those countries DR. Congo, Zambia and Namibia have the right to look after them because they have given them refuge. The governments in those respective countries are trying also to control them. What is true is that those criminals� elements have light guns, they don't heavy ammunitions. Who can hit the plane with a simple gun a plane flying at thousand meters away? All the heavy arteries are here in Angola. Those criminal elements are only robbers who take or steal some moneys and chickens. There are not organized or have the modern, sophisticated guns.
"What proves do you have to support your arguments?"
"It is clear and we don't have to show you anything. Use your mind and talk to the government whose are hosting the former rebels. Many are ordinary citizens married there and live in the community there. They are dissent citizens, who are well respected but very few are criminals."
"We don't deny that your elements may be good citizens. We know that many are very respectable in the community but we are concerned of those few criminals."
"You don't expect every one to be angels." UNITA defended himself "You will find criminals and good men in all the communities from New York to Switzerland, from Vatican to Cambodia. The important point it that those criminal elements were formers rebels do not have heavy guns. They hold may be small guns that they hide under their beds and bags. Tell me can you hide a missile under your bed?"
"That is not a proof."
"Answer me to my question like I answered to your question, can you hide a missile under your bed?"
"Impossible."
"Impossible?"
"Impossible."
Impossible, the same impossibility applied to the allegation. Those uncontrollable elements do not have rockets or heavy arms. There are not organized to hold meeting to plan how to gun down a flying plane. Most of them are on hiding, there are running away from the men in uniforms. They are not free to organize such us actions.
"Your statement is clear but the World suspects you because you have gunned down many planes in the past."
UNITA was a Portuguese words meaning UNion for the Independence of Angola.
"That is true; when we were fighting we controlled large land in Angola."
At some stage they had the majority of the land in Angola compare to the government. They had their own land in the country and they were organized and dedicated to the war. They claimed that some of the plane was mistakenly hit by their elements. The blamed the government of used to send the planes to bomb their lands so they had to defend ourselves against bombing planes. Sometime they could suspect all the passing planes as warplanes. Now that thee war was over and they formed a united army.
The UNITA spokesman insisted: "Why do you still reviving all the passed while we have sealed peace?"
"Your statement is understandable; we will talk on behalf and claim your innocence."
"Please do so, the World is watching us." UNITA has chosen peace "we don't know what really happen to the crushed plane."
In the Pretoria South Africa, the Angolans ambassador got the instructions from his government and went to meet the South African foreigner department to give a clear the former rebel movement in the plane crushed involvement: "We heard the sad news of the planes accident, I am presenting our sincere condolence from the people of Angola, we honestly believe that the cause of the accident will be soon found to avoid the repeat of the accident in future"
"It is our pleasure to have the condolence from others Africans are brothers."
The ambassador got some instructions from my country to pass to South Africa and the rest of the world. The government officials met with the formers rebels officials to clarify the matter. The have been many speculations that the plane could have been hit by a missile or rockets from the formers fighters from Angola, the plane could have been hit by a terrorists group and the plane could have a internal mechanical failure. Angola government fell concerned by the report saying that the rebels of UNITA have hit the plane. The officials in Angola have met with the rebel group. The ambassador wanted to make first an adjustment the rebellion do not exist, all the member of the rebels have joined the national government and the national party. The name of the rebellion still exists as a new opposition party non military opposition. You are aware of the progress made by the Angola government in including all the former combatants. UNITA works now with the government and we have stop fighting. The UNITA decided to join the government after the death of their leader Savimbi and his vice. Still some UNITA elements have taken refuge in Zambia, Congo, and Namibia. Angola don't have any problem with the defected fighters we will always welcome them in our country. Some of the rebels have chosen to stay outside their country and few of them are involved in criminal activities such us robbery, hijacking,�They do not cause a big treat to the security because there are not in possession of heavy arteries. They are not organized not cause a treat to any government. Please consider that they may not hit the plane. That argument is not true. Angola regrets that many of the former fighters have deserted their post in Angola but there do not have the capacity to gun down a plane.
The minister of foreigner affairs in South Africa was pleased with the information that Luanda has provided: "Thank you for the clarity and concern on the plane crush. It is a blessing to have caring brothers. We know the evolution in Angola. The former government had armed UNITA. Thank you God that things have changed, it was sad when the were fighting in Angola and some engineer wearing bullet proof and protected by the apartheid regime used to take advantage of the situation to exploit diamond and petrol in Angola."
The change in South Africa has brought the wave of hope in many African countries. The change in South Africa has weakened Savimbi who was supported by South Africa in the South and in the North by Congo, the departure of the dictator Mobutu who was a good friend to Savimbi have helped to end the civil war in Angola. Millions of people unfortunately died but what is important is that we won't have another war in Angola. Both opposition and government are unified to rebuild Angola.
"Thank you for the clarity, we still investigating the cause of the accident. Britain had dismissed a terrorist attack and you have dismissed also the rockets attack, we still investigating the cause of the accident."
The report of plane being hit by a missile was dismissed by the Angola government. South Africa supported that impossibility too.
Even no Angolese citizen was in plane but because of it geographic situation just below Namibia has costed them.
IN ZIMBABWE
Harare, the ruling party officials and the opposition party�s official met to examine the situation. The plane crushed with twelve Zimbabweans national aboard. It was a big concern too for the Zimbabwean government. Surnamed the nightmare of the powerful nation because of it political difference with the world:
They have lost on top of that twelve citizens in the airplane crash.
"We hope that South Africa will find the reason behind the crash. Our main concern is about our citizens."
"Some of the citizen were patriotic and others were not patriotic seeking refuge in Europe?" the government official called them. "That a big insult to African custom and sovereignty."
Emanuel Chauke, 32 years old lawyer instead of defending his country in the land reform was against the land reform. They remember him saying that the timing was bad. If the time is bad, when will be the right time to implement the reform? They wanted to ask him one question; he has been to Europe, did he see or heard an African having a land to Europe? Why the European must take our land in Africa. He is lucky that he died before the judgment here; he could face a life time ban to work in Zimbabwe. He has been in Europe did he saw a street names after an African?
"Things have changed in Europe and around the world." the opposition party said.
"If things have changed in Europe why not in Africa?"
The opposition and the ruling parties had many difference and they had nothing in common. Different point of view on every subject. Zimbabwe one the second most powerful country in Southern Africa was slowly loosing that respect to Angola, the new emerging economic growth after the war in Angola. The ruling party had his view but the opposition party member representative defended his party:
The ruling party Zanu PF and the two fractions of the opposing parties MDC (Movement of the Democracy Change).
Emmanuel Chauke, wanted the implementation of the land reform but didn't support the rushed and illegal change. The opposition party said how you will never find a land own by a black in Africa but look at the French national team who won the world cup was constitute by fifty percent African but African do not constitute half of French population. There Africans are minority, look at England and Holland. Things are changing soon; you will find land owned by African. How can you give a land to someone who does not know even how to drive a tractor? Look at the result it totally a chaos in Zimbabwe, they used to export food that we never export before. South Africa now is supplying us with food.
The governing party defended their view: "We don't need food; there are many countries who need the most food like Somalia, Sudan and many more countries. We want to implement what we have started."
The implementation of the land reform was viewed as the biggest mistake of the ruling party have made in history. They primary aim was to get the sympathy of the voters but now that the fire has spread the government is unable to control it. To the opposition member the government knows that you have realized the mistake but you don't want to admit.
"We did not make a mistake we implemented what is implemented in Europe; many African countries are following us."
"We should follow what South Africa has done." the opposition's party spoken man said "From the apartheid to a successful transition. Their land reform is well done with democratic rules."
"We are a democratic country who is hated by Britain and his allies. Diana Robert, fled his own country to live in Europe?"
"You took away his farm what you wanted him to do?"
What a mess, for many African's countries who rushed to distribute the land to many no farmers. Those knew owner has even struggled to drive the farming tractors. The consequence become very evident, the shortage of food from a country that used to export food.
The ruling party added. There are many businesses besides farming, there is life after farming. There are many opportunities to make a living here. Patrice Dave, the editor who supported a gay right. Did you ever see a gay ship or a gay chicken in the world? The human's must learn by the simple nature.
"If we claim to be a democratic country let them express their freedom of choices."
"You mean if we are a democratic country we have to let the gay express their right."
"That is correct."
The ruling party insisted that if they let the gay express their freedom let the criminal express their right too. They are all part of a democratic society. Let close all the courts and let the citizen live like in Sodom and Gomorra like the ancient time in the Bible?
"Freedom is not crime."
"You are saying freedom is based on doing what your heart desire. Crime too is a desire from the heart too."
"Gay is not a crime to be listed in crime activities."
Homosexuality is against the African tradition. For the ruling party ancestors have not encouraged those practices and we won't encourage the bad influences. People in Africa and we have to celebrate our identity.
"You talked about ancestors, the ancestors lived in the ancient world were they were no clothes and modern material." the opposition said "If we have to celebrate the tradition, let live what is modern civilization offer like driving cars and let walk naked on streets."
Usually when it comes to difference, they always forget the subject of the day in trying to defend they opinion on their differences: "We take what is not good and we leave what is not good to our culture." the ruling party said.
"You agree with me that some of the ancient practices must be left behind. Let the people live in a democratic society."
"Let move on the subject of the day. Let see on the list an unpatriotic citizen, John Muke. John was also a refugee in London; we never chased anyone in our land. He claimed that he was tortured."
The opposing party was furious about the political intolerance in their country. They claimed that many opposition followers have been tortured? You started with the land reform after failing you started by demolishing people homes in the cities. Because the cities are supporting the opposition while in the rural areas they support the government.
The government didn't recognize to have backed some members of his party to provoke any kind of conflict. They didn't recognize that many fighting in the community were political related: "That is not true, they have been fighting between themselves and tried to take advantage of the crisis to try to relocated in prosperous countries."
May be they were fans who fought after watching the local derby and went to London claiming how they were tortured. Those things happen in all the societies were supporters of different team�s fight, especially when they drunk. They claimed that even English supporters fight a lot. To answer to the opposing party claimed on the second point they claimed to the demolishing illegal houses only.
"That is not true at all."
"It is true, may be he didn't have a job here and went to work in London. The only way to get a visa to work was to be a refugee. There are not a treat to the government because they form a minority in the society. Millions have jumped the borders to South Africa to find better jobs now some of them are claiming to be refugee."
"If we exercise a true democracy millions who live in South Africa will return to our country. South Africa is the nearest democratic country."
The ruling parties refused to accept that some people are tortured and fled because of their political affiliation: "Those one are not patriotic, there are economic refugees not political refugee. Even those who lives as Zimbabweans refugee in England are not political refugee, there are economical refugee." the ruling party kept denying "The have been forced by poverty to take a refuge in others countries. There is suffering all over the world even in Europe you will find more beggars than Zimbabwe."
"Once the democratic principles and the rule of law his exercised in Zimbabwe you will see the return of those refugee." the opposition said "Look at South Africa after the first democratic election many returned to South Africa. It is not easy to live in another country far from your family and friend. Even if life is better there but there is no better place than home. To be exiled is a torture of the soul."
"We are sad to hear the news but Emmanuel Chauke the lawyer, John Muke the refugee, Diana Robert the self fled farmer and the editor Patrice Dave where not good patriot. Hunter Tom, James Casabere, John Prior, Pascal Tombe, Emery Malinga, Prosper Chauke, Albert Mputu and Zita Tanya were good citizens and Patriotic citizens."
"We say all the twelve citizens were Zimbabwean."
The ruling party of Mugabe who was condemns of torturing the political opponents, the government who accuses the Western force and the powerful nation of wanting to destabilize the country were they were shortage of food had too they side of story.
The once big exporter of food becomes a big importer of food.
Despite the inflation rate and the economical misery, they blame the opposition because they suspect it of being sponsored by the powerful nation.
There, all Zimbabwean but placed in two categories, the patriotic and the non patriotic. In each and every democracy we have the ruling party and the opposition. The ruling party is not an enemy of the Democratic Party. The opposition is part of the collaborating section of the government. The opposition is there to remind what the ruling party policy didn't execute well. Both form a winning combination. Thing are different here the opposition want to fight the ruling party. But in some countries opposition and ruling countries are enemies not collaborators.
"On paper yes but on streets your policies do not reflect what you are saying." the opposition claimed "You have classed the passengers in two categories the patriotic mean the one who support the ruling party and the non patriotic the one who support us the opposition party. You have to categorize them in one section as all citizens of Zimbabwe."
"Let look at the cause of the accident?"
The cause of the accident still a mystery, they were waiting for the South African investigation team to give us the final report. The still many confusion at this point two different terrorist group claim the responsibility, some are saying that Savimbi rebellion could have hit the plane and others are convinced that is a mechanic problem.
"Let wait and see the outcome of the investigation."
In Zimbabwe two different declarations were made as the two main political parties fail to come up with one statement. The government had his statement while the opposition had his own statement. This was a clear indication on how the opinion was divided.
IN DR. CONGO
In Kinshasa the ruling party official, the secret service and the opposition party�s official allied to the transitional government met to look at the plane's crushed news and their five passengers who were aboard. They met in Kinshasa to analyze the situation:
The country that has suffered war in the past decade and organize the election where one of the main opposition�s party UDPS did not took place. Despite that the election went smoothly and they were trying to rebuild the country were many militias took advantage of the poor infrastructure to control some part of the country and exploit minerals resources.
"�The plane's crash in Namibia before landing to South Africa with five of our citizens aboard."
Strange enough all the five citizen were refugees.
"Refugee against who?" the government wondered
"The government."
"The government does not send their citizen in refuge."
They had refugee in all the country of the world: Canada, USA, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe�
"They have to return home, some have been refugee for years." the government urged.
They were refugee in Mobutu era. Mobutu has gone and his army is dead with him and now we have a new government now planning to organize the elections.
"They don't trust our peace deal with the rebels."
They have to trust us all the fighting parties who were supported by Uganda, Burundi, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Rwanda has supported the peace deal.
"I even think that the rebellions never exist it was a group of people who wanted to get access in the running of the country searched foreign military support to get attention."
"That is not true; the government was supported by Namibia and Angola too."
The government needed a support from Namibia and Angola to rebuild our army. The true popular peaceful opposition UDPS is not included in this government. Because they don't talk with guns, in Africa to hear you, you must talk with ammunitions not with speeches. Those minorities unpopular parties are include in the transition because they had ammunitions.
The war almost over and they decided to recall even those who worked in the government of Mobutu the dictator to return and build the country. It is easy very easy to destroy a house but very difficult to rebuild. The infrastructure have been destroy since the Belgium left Congo in 1960 they haven't build the country. Congo was the most respected country in Africa. Many South African and Africans used to come to get medical health here but today we are the most mocked country unable to manufacture even a razor or paper. They have to export everything.
The report from England is telling them that he was a refugee there for fifteen years.
"Fifteen years?"
"Fifteen years."
"He must get the retirement too." We all get retirement from work why not retirement from exile?
"They know him from the past fifteen years but we have is passed record, tell us what is passed life."
They brought a file of some of this man and the chief investigator wanted him to face justice in Congo.
Tandayo was called Rambo in is childhood neighboring. He was implicated in cash transit robbery. He left the country in 1982 after he escaped from our prison here for Angola. They were amazed how he ends up in Europe as a refugee and pastor. They heard him confessing that he lied about the reason of fleeing to Europe. He was the one who said: "lying being a refugee to get access to bad life was not a blessing from God"
"May be he was born again."
"We respect is new status as a pastor but he was wanted for the crime he committed"
The other report they had with them. The dead government wanted him in connection of another murder in a nightclub in 1981. The Britain government refused to repatriate him in 1992. He was wanted by the justice system here.
"He was a pastor in London or Europe but was still in our wanted list."
They regretted too that many criminal after stealing the governmental money have fled the country and applied for asylum also in Europe and they case often his successful, some dissent citizen who apply for asylum are often rejected.
"I suspected that he didn't get a job there but he decided to become a pastor."
"It is why I don't trust many pastors." This agent said he said that he trust priest because they spend many years in school and have good reputation but to be a pastor sometime it easy. You have to invent a dream that you are called to serve God and speak in tongue or so called angel language. I wonder witch language Tandayo spoke?
"May be a Satan language or Lucifer tongue."
"He was a pastor in London but a criminal here called Rambo." the government official said.
Desiree Samba is not known for any criminal activity. She was tortured for hiding his brother who was suspected of supporting the opposition party. She disappeared, then they are hearing that she was in Europe.
That woman may be a true refugee. But she was still Congolese and they regret here sudden death.
Kasongo Pablo, refugee in France. Kasongo Pablo was called unpatriotic who fled the army. He fled the combat with other former students. The last time he fought for the country was in 1998.
He was unpatriotic for the government because he didn't want to die for the country but choose to die for books in France.
Next passenger was Nicole Tandayo who married the pastor named Rambo, fled the country before the rebel be chased in Kinshasa. She was viewed unpatriotic. She decided to save her own lives while sixty millions of the population decided to live in Congo.
That was the problem with many who fled the country in the tribulation moment. When peace come, they return and want to have the high post in the government forgetting that many people in the country didn't fled the country. They persisted with the suffering and may be deserved better after peace.
Olivia Sambo, 27 years old refugee in Holland. When we look at his file, he was wanted for organizing a march at university of Lubumbashi.
That was viewed as a criminal offense refusing to respect the local authority.
He organized a march against the ancient government he was only seventeen years old. The regime has changed but he refused to return and participate in the government of reconciliation instead of talking to humans he decided to feed and talk to cows. The government claimed.
The may not be implicated in terrorist activities but us a refugee the Congolese government had less control on the refugees and couldn't do nothing about their cases. The British government has announced the innocence of all passengers.
The other claimed that claim that Savimbi's men may hit the plane with a rocket or missile affected too the Congo. Who was neighbouring to Angola in the North while Namibia was neighbouring of Angola in the South. They had many ex Angola fighter here in Congo too but they are not fighting any more, they fight how to survive. Many of them are refugee and do not have heavy weapons. May be the plane was slapped by God who was busy sleeping in heaven and the plane was making noise!
"We don't need humor when we have lost many lives in the plane's crush. Please for once let respect the dead people." warned one secret agent.
The Congolese government didn't have much to do just to condemn the incident. Their statement was that they didn't know what could have caused the plane crush because the accident didn't happen in their land.
This was the said conclusion of the poor country were more than 6 country fight to support more than 6 rebels groups and the government. Where more than 4 millions people dies in a short space of 4 years due to war related consequences.
IN LIBYA
In Tripoli, the highest intelligent personal met to look at the plane crushed accident. Libya has been accused of supporting in the passed the terrorist. It was unluckily that the accident happens in Africa somehow Libya not having any citizen passenger in the plane felt very concern. Those were suspected of sponsoring the terrorists in the past.
"�This is not good news to us. We have been suspected of supporting the terrorist in other continent but the accident happens in our continent."
They had tried to clean their image; the European Union and USA were about to lift all the sanction against them, now look what is happening in their continent.
They felt much more concern than many countries because they leader Mohamed Kadaffi have been preaching of the African union. The plane was South African and many passengers were African too.
This leader who took power by force was one of the few dictators who were loved by many of his people. Once come a opposition leader educated in one of the European country who come to in store democracy in his native country. After criticizing the government, many Libya citizens wanted him dead. But the leader of the country gave him a post in the government, since then the man does not criticize anymore the government.
The British government has declared that they were not terrorist aboard the plane but two terrorist groups have claimed the responsibility. "We are an Arabic country who may help in the investigation of the matter. We are well placed to conduct some investigations."
The truth and the good news is that Britain one of the most influential countries in the international policies has found nothing linking the plane accident to terrorists.
"Whatever, this may delay the lifting of sanction against us. We have to clean our image one more time. We don't need democratic institution here because everybody supports us.
They instruct to their ambassador to Britain to reassure our commitment to the peace in Africa and the world�
The Libya ambassador was instructed to meet the British authority in London to claim they innocence in terror activities. This country has shown cooperation with the world to even voluntary abandon the enrichment of the uranium for their nuclear bomb ambition.
�They were deeply touched by the incident happen in Africa where the flight VOL654 from London to South Africa crushed in Namibia�They took this opportunity to present our condolence to all the victims families. Libya government is committed in peace and we are not part of the duty business. They were now committed to the international law and regulation. They were not encouraging or supporting terror in any form. The Libya government is firm to the decision of good relationship in the world. The ambassador was instructed by my country to reassure to the world and the European union our support to fight terrorists�They condemn the men behind the terrorist activities.
For the British authority, the entire world was mobilized to fight terrorism:
It was a pleasure and blessing that Arabs countries are supporting our effort to eliminate and eradicate those practices around the world. They have the support of the majority of the countries in the world. They have the support of many Arabs countries in the world: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt�the new government in Afghanistan, the new administration in Iraq, Pakistan and many more. They were still waiting for the Iranian declaration to join that war on terrorism. They were not fighting terror alone with American, European country and Australia�
"We are Africans and we represent all the Arabic countries in Africa: Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Sudan. We are committed in peace in the world and we don't support or encourage these practices."
The world and Arab countries have understood the necessity to fight the new devil on the planet earth. They were with all the world support they will win the fight against terror.
They decided to make together the world a safer place for all the humans been. They were committed to create an environment free of criminal activities and destroy all the syndicate involved in terror. It was possible with the help and the supports of all the countries include Arabs nations. They were committed to join the world against the terrorism and wanted the European Union and the USA to lift sanction against Libya and they voluntary stop the development uranium and nuclear ambitions.
While a single plane crashes many countries and many secret personnel has sleepness night around the world.
Libya the former evil in Africa has assured the World on condemning the terrorism and assured the World on fighting the perpetrators.
IN CHINA
In Pekin members of Chinese socialist meet in China to identify all their citizens aboard the crushed plane in Africa. The security service tried to identify the opposition supporters aboard of the plane:
"We are not targeted by any terrorists group. Our relationships with all the countries of the world are excellent."
The terrorists do not care anymore about nationality, age, history or sex. They target anyone, at anyplace, anytime and anyhow. If you are at the bad place and at the bad time you may be hit by their activities�
The security of the world have fail to stop the manufacturing of bombs. To make a bomb has becomes the easier thing to do. Many books show how to make a bomb. The chemical to manufacture a home made bomb are sold everywhere in different forms. How can you stop the terrorists with the expansion of the technology?
That was the consequence of the development, we have in all the circumstances we have good and bad side. We have to live with it but we must stop putting in disposition of everybody and everywhere the dangerous chemicals and formula to make bomb.
"Even the chemistry that school kids learned at school may help them to make explosives."
The explosive have become the easiest things to make. A special policy must be in implemented to protect the humans from the access to terrorist treats.
The terrorist that they experience in China is the opposition who wants to implement foreigner policies in they country. They have many terrorists to their government in and around the world. Yamushito Dion was one of them. He claimed to be a businessman but he traveled around the world to telling the world of the human right abuses in China.
"There is no human abuse but the law do not accept those criminals." the communist party claimed "We don't have opposition in China all the one billion Chinese men and women are have accepted one party, one rule, one nation, one system, one society, one culture, one life and one leader."
The one billion of Chinese have accepted the socialism but a minority wants to implement democracy in China.
Socialism is one democratic system and every Chinese have to live with the Chinese version of democracy. Let look at the file of Yamushito Dion.
They examined the life of the people who were a treat to the Chinese government:
He was travel seven times to the USA to accuse us of abusing and torturing opposition followers. In 1989 he went to Washington to meet the Chinese exiled in USA. In 1990 they formed a association in USA. In 1992 he participated in a meeting in New York in China town with seventy other Chinese. In 1995, they were in a conference in UK to talk how to implement democracy in China. In 1996 he went again to USA where they meet human right group. 1998 he was in Canada in a conference attended by many exiled Chinese. 2002 he attended a conference in UK, the intelligence service shown that they wanted to mobilized all the countries to turn against us.
"Let look at the other democrats."
Kung Hashi, was an editor who have published many articles of so called human abused in China. Let look at some of his disturbing reports. 1995 he published an article translated in English, French and Portugal that the students were tortured at the universities in China. The intelligence sources have also shown us that he edited a book by a pro democratic Chinese based in Houston USA called Chan Yang, called Democracy in China. The book was published in English and published in 1998. Apparently the book has sold many copies close to one million copies. He also attends many pro democratic meetings.
"Those minorities want to change a destiny of one billion citizens in China, they dreamed and they will never succeed to bring us another system in the big China."
They claimed that communism have fail in many countries but they system will never fall because it is supported by majority of the population and people are more than happy. They have build China with that system, they developed China with that system. "We are born, raised and will die in that political system."
They where only two unwanted men in the plane crash. They regretted the lost of they citizen in the plane include a very intelligent man in that plane Howe Shimita, a scientist who was involved in research in South Africa and in China. He worked a lot in the traditional medicine too. Many of the other passengers were students and businessmen.
The Chinese government made too a declaration condemning the terrorist action.
This country who decided to be part of a peaceful world in even mediating to solve the North Korea nuclear crisis in acting too as mediator condemns the incident too.
IN MOROCCO
In Rabat, the authority met to look at their two passengers who died in the plane crush. They look at the reason of the accident too: "It sad to experience plane crash accident in Africa too."
They suspected UNITA because they used to shoot the planes but this time they are innocents. They stop shooting the plane since the end of the war. The other reason that they may not been involve is that the accident occurred in another land far from Angola. It is true that many formers fighter lives in Namibia but they don't have any reason to shoot a plane.
"What about the terrorist claims?"
The terrorist claim may be real and there is a big possibility that they be involve but strangely two different terrorist groups have claimed the responsibility, it clear that one of them may be right or both may seek international attention. All the small groups seek attention. The most feared terrorist group Al Qaeda started with minors explosions to big one. Those small groups of terror network if there are not stopped now they may grow and become big. In Africa they have rebels groups but in the Arabs world we have terrorists who are not afraid to loose their life for Allah, that makes their strategy very effective. The rebels don't fight to loose their life. They love life they make sure to attack without loosing their lives.
There are many improvements in Africa over the past years. The rebels group has diminished and many countries have formed an inclusive administration rather than exclusive government. From Liberia, Sierra Leone, Angola, Congo, DR Congo, Mozambique, Somalia, Chad�The African version of terrorist have diminished.
The major reason was the end of the cold war. Since the fall of communism fifty percent of conflicts have ended. Let see the example of the war in Angola. They were two parties involved, the pro American were supporting the rebellion of Savimbi with the apartheid regime of South Africa via Namibia. Savimbi was supported by the dictator Mobutu who was capitalist in the north. The government was supported by the communist specially Cuba. When the communism fell many conflicts ended too. Morocco was the only country to welcomed the dictator Mobutu and he died in our land far away from his native country Congo.
The DR. Congo conflict is quiet different to other conflicts, it was an internal Africa conflict involving six different countries: Angola wanted to secure is north border with Congo where the Savimbi movement was getting weapons too. By wanting to secure his borders they went to support the government. Zimbabwe who has invested in the mine in Congo decided to protect his interest. Zimbabwe and Angola find themselves supporting the government. The more than tree rebellions group in the east of Congo were supported by Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda wanted to secure their borders were their rebels were hiding find themselves supporting the tree rebels groups. Then many small fractions of rebels group were born in the east of Congo.
"The fail of Mobutu who was supported first in the cold war by the capitalism was a good news to many Africans. He was a dictator who was praised like a god in Congo, then his departure brought some instability too in Congo. He refused to accept the proposition to exile to USA or European countries because he felt abandoned and took refuge in our country where he died."
Mobutu was not admired by Africans many countries were against apartheid but him supported apartheid. "Our kingdom was the only country to accept him in his exile." Mobutu who was sponsored by American failed betrayed when the rebel under the leadership of Laurant Kabila was marching to the capital Kinshasa. They advised him to step down and offered him exile. This man who swore to die as president instead of ex president.
"Let look at the life of our two citizens who died in the plane crush. Ayotollah Talabani and Jasim Barzani where aboard of that plane."
They were both living in England. Ayotollah Talabani lived for twelve years with here family and Jasim Barzani lived in London for seven years. The were good citizens who where sharing a apartment in central London. They were committed to their work and the Muslim religion. We know that the may be suspected for may be collaborating with terrorists but the British investigation team have declared them good, innocent and dissent citizens. They were happy for their reports and proud of all our citizens. We are only concerned about many of our youth whose are believed to be involved in minors crimes in the cities of France. They accuse them of robbing, hijacking and many other minors� crimes. Their consulate and embassy in France have been receiving many complains.
The Moroccan government insisted that their two citizens about the flight VOL654 were not terrorists and send a warning to all the pro terrorist to stop their activities.
IN PAKISTAN
In Islamabad , the Pakistanis official met in Pakistan to have a look of the situation where twelve of their citizens died in the plane crush. They also tackle the problem of terrorism:
�They are in a war zone. They are fighting an opponent that we don't know, they don't know when and how the may be attacked: the terrorists. Many of those criminal have ran away from their mountains in Afghanistan. They come to infiltrate in the population. It very difficult to find them: They speak the same languages; They have a lot in common and look alike. May be Osama Bin Laden is one in the neighbourhood. This war against terror is one of the most challenging wars that the world face.
"The world is no more a safe place. You don't know when, where and how they may hit. The plane is their target, the buildings, the public places, the streets and all the places are not safer."
Difficult to know really what they want, they kills innocents civilians, they kills foreigners who want to help them, their target the police who look after the population and their target even the politicians officials.
"Their kills in the name of the religion and in the name of Allah."
They wondered who is a terrorist and who is not? In the recent time they trust no one because the insurgent may be your neighbor who you greet every morning.
They were definitely their civilians in the plane have been crossed examined by the intelligent service in the world. They were sure that the British and other nations security services have spend many hours identifying our passengers.
They don't blame the world of suspecting their citizen as terrorist because most of the terrorists are Arabs and Muslims; they are a minority of the population whom has destroyed the reputation of many civilians in the Arabs world. They passports are checked and recheck many times in all the airports. It is very difficult now to obtain visas.
They were decided to fight the terrorist to regain our dignity and the respect of all the nations of the world. All the moves are careful monitored and followed by the intelligent personals. They terrorist have even targeted the civilians and people in our mosque. Mosque is the house of God and must be respected by all the humans been.
The Pakistanis passengers on the plane were a couple of nurses who were engaged; they wanted to apply for jobs in South Africa. Numan Al Nima and Mohamed Jasim. They thought it wasn�t fair to suspect them either. All their passed records were clearly presented by the investigators. One works in the local hospital and one works in Saudi Arabia for some years.
"They are definitely not terrorist collaborators. We had two Pakistanis diplomats: Zafaraniya and Aziz Mohamed."
The diplomats, the police personal are targeted by the terrorist. Even they president have been targeted many times by the terrorists.
They regretted the lost of the four students who were on their way to South Africa to study and bring back knowledge in Pakistan. They all regretted too the lost of the diplomatic family: "The last group Semid Al Sarah was traveling with his wife Jalal Al Sarah and two children Mohamed Al Sarah and Massoud Al Sarah."
They were sure that a terrorist cannot sacrifice his family: wife and children. It only happens in an accident. Semid cannot be a terrorist. The children are young to have consent. The terrorist used some one who able to think and voluntary sacrifice his life. A eight or five years old child he is not old enough to make a choice.
"We may support the British report that all our citizens in the plane were only victims and they are not linked to the accident if it was caused by terrorists."
The Pakistanis government confirmed to the world that their citizens on the plane were not linked to terrorist activities. They condemn the terrorist activities and promise to crack down all the terrorists.
Pakistan who was still fighting along it border with Afghan�s Taliban rebels condemn to the plane crash accident and vow to be cooperative to catch the criminals.
IN NAMIBIA
In Windhoek, the authorities met to find out they reason of the accident specially the plane have crushed in their land. All the eyes where on Namibia to investigate and come with a report:
"All the eyes are on us to release our final reports regarding the plane accident."
It was still too early to realize the report but was happy of the finding. We will realize the report to all the investigations team around the world and the intelligence service. They find out that the plane was not hit by any rocket or missile. The plane crashed in Namibia in the land of pygmies. They also find out that the group of the Angolans whom where in possessions of passengers belongings were not involved in the crush of the plane. There were a group of travelers who heard the plane boom and went initially to rescues the passenger; instead of rescuing passenger they changed their mission to a robbery one. The will be sentenced and will serve their sentence in our prison without any parole as foreigners. There were many Savimbi's elements in Namibia. Some were refugee, some were in their community working and doing business and some are believed to have joined the criminal activities such us robbing and hijacking. There are not a big treat to any government. They had no heavy arteries. Some were struggling even to get food, how could have get the energy to hold rockets that they don't even possess. It was one of the speculation but we carefully looked at our military personal. They checked all our missiles and rockets numbers, the quantity haven't changed. We may conclude that the plane was not hit by a rockets or missile.
"We may check also the plane's scrap to identify if the plane has been hit?"
The plane didn't have a major deformity. It believed that the pilot tried to land in the forest. Many passengers died from the suffocation from smoke and the fire. They realize a report against the thought that the plane being hit by a missile or rocket.
"Do you think that the plane could have may be being hit by terrorist group?"
May be something could have inside the plane; we didn't have any passenger from Namibia in the plane. They were unfortunately concerned because the plane crushed in our land. They did the job that was assigned to us by the international community. They refused any foreign intervention because South Africa and Namibia were able to conduct the investigation. They were assigned to find out is the plane was hit by an object from outside the plane. The investigation was very successful. May the plane was hit by terrorists or had an engine failure according to their conclusion. "We may be happy that finally the investigation is complete we have to crack down all the formers rebels from Angola who have stopped fighting in their country taking advantage of our facilities and the community who received them like family member to do illegal activities."
They refused to be blamed for the missing corpses may be they may blame on people who stole the passengers belonging. They took valuable goods. They refused to accept that Bushmen are to be blamed because the plane�s crash in their territory. First the bushmen were indigenous do not know the value of materials. Secondly they are not cannibals to eat human. They believed that the missing corpses could be burned behind recognition. Injured passengers tried to escape the plane but died outside the plane. They believed that the late arrival of South Africa rescuers have contributed to their death.
South Africa had the highest technology in Africa but their waited for their authorization to land in their country, those processes took long to be complete. They confessed that rescuers didn't not have the equipment to rescue a large number of injured people and in a deep forest. They do not have the sophisticated materials to arrive in time in the deep dark side in the bush on time.
The must awaited report of Namibia was realized by the minister of information. They informed the World that the plane was not hit by any object: missile or rocket. They also confirmed that the missing passenger were not missing but could have been burned behind any recognition.
IN SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa one of the well respected democratic country that has a peaceful transition from apartheid to a democratic where the man who spends 27 years in prison Nelson Mandela Madiba becomes the first elected democratic president.
The country has peaceful abandoned his nuclear ambition and set an example to many countries.
Africa was once severely hit by the terrorist in the past not only England and USA and other countries in the Middle East. One of the memorable and unforgettable incident it was when the USA embassy both in Tanzania and Kenya were hit simultaneously by bomb.
They have been a number of terrorists and terrorist supporters who were once arrested in South Africa.
The airline official and some investigators met to try to find the reason behind the plane's crash. They meet in Pretoria or Tshwane before they realize their final report to the world:
They have lost many citizens in the plane's crash in Namibia. The Namibia investigation team has announced that the plane was not hit by a missile or a rocket. The investigation team worked with some of our investigators professional in Namibia and they trust their reports.
They have lost 20 airline personals, ten individuals, 19 dancers, 6 diplomatic personal, 3 students from the exchange program and one family of tree members: James Brookes the father, Albertine Brookes his wife and Kerry Brookes the youngest South Africa on the plane and 10 individuals� travelers.
The premier airline director defended his plane: "The plane didn't have any mechanical problem we are stick to the international law. The plane have been revised and checked every time it land. The plane have been revised in South Africa before is departure to London, it was also repaired in London before it leaving from London"
The main investigator was not pleased to hear his argument: "You have said but the reality is that the plane crashed. We don't believe in excuses."
"We have the document to back our talking."
They knew that the airline company had a license to navigate and many document, those documents didn�t reflect what happen on the ground. The document didn't explain the incident. They wondered how the plane could have crashed. The investigator team around the world did not find any terrorist in the plane or any link to terrors. The investigation team in Namibia did not find any proofs to say that the plane was hit from the ground. They couldn't figure out the cause of the accident. The terrorist�s activities are not linked to the accident, the plane was not hit by an external object and what could be the cause of the accident if it is not an engine failure?
"It is too early to jump on conclusion." the managing director said "Our airline company Africa premier Airline never had accident before and we don't think that it was a mechanical problem."
They have recorded some of the pilot conversation with the airport control. The pilot complained that the plane was not responding to the command!
The director of airline Premier Company was determined to defend his company: "The plane was not responding to the command but shortly after the conversations they were a huge boom noise."
That boom noise can be a plane hit by a foreigner object and we believe that it was an explosion inside the plane. May be the bomb or explosive was placed in the engine of the plane.
"You know the meaning of your company premier Africa airline."
"I know it."
"You don't know premier mean first and your company must change is name from premier to the last African Airline. You are the last African Airline have fail to protect the passengers and put all the world in a necessary alert. All the nations have met spending their time and energy to find out the cause of the crash."
"Let wait for the final reports to judges us."
"If it was your negligence, you are change the name of your airline from premier to Last African Airline."
"Let wait for the final finding."
"The primary report is done and we don't know what the final report will change to the primary report?"
"Some founding may come up."
"I don't think so."
To make the matter worst the airline company totally dismissed a mechanical problem. The South African government demanded more time to fully complete their investigation and realize the final report.
CHAPTER SEVEN:THE FUNERAL
What sad news in the World. Especially for the reporter and journalist Mr. Kenny Bean. Sometime reporters were controversial but they played a big role in covering the news from the source and inform to the public. Many of reporters have lost their live while trying to cover news.
In his office desk many people went to put flower's and condolence messages. Some of the messages were saying:
"�We will always miss you Mr. Kenny Bean. You were so different, unique and very professional man that we will never have in all the World.
"�You are unforgettable and very important .We will miss you and your unique approach of getting news�"
"�This office could never this popular without your controversial reports. Your report makes our agency very popular. As your colleagues I could love to learn a lot by your side�
"We never knew what we had until you gone."
"�Mr. Kenny Bean I never realized how special you were until God took you. I hope that you live in heaven and watching us�"
"�They will never be another Mr. Kenny Bean in this World. Your reports were the most unique in this World. Your approach was also very professional�"
"Mr. Kenny Bean wherever you are please inspires us. You will always remain in our mind .I don't believe that you are gone�"
"Life is so unfair and unjust to take away Mr. Kenny Bean. Please God tell us why you took Mr. Kenny Bean when we need him the most �Only you god knows why."
"� I remember Mr. Kenny Bean �I remember Mr. Kenny Bean sitting on this desk with your pen and funny gestures coming up with the most unique report that the World never know. I remember Mr. Kenny Bean how you have changed the press and the World with your controversial and unique report�I remember Mr. Kenny Bean."
Sometime humans are slow to realize what they have until it gone.
Kerry, Mr. Kenny Bean's wife was called the third day to go and collect his husband body at the mortuary. The English passenger's families went to collect their relatives� corpse.
She imagined how the sad experience of seeing his husband body may be burned or seriously torn apart by the plane's accident.
When she arrived at the reception accompanied by Mr. Kenny Bean's brother Benjamin she talked to the receptionist: "I am Kerry Hilton Mr. Kenny Bean's wife. I come to collect my husband corpse form the plane accident in Africa."
This was a sad moment for this woman instead of welcoming his husband to the airport as she used to do. When the husband went covering the news around the world has to come this time to collect his body at the mortuary.
"Who?"
"Mr. Kenny Bean."
"Let me check here in my computer."
The receptionist went through the computer data for many minutes without finding anything: "I am sorry his name his not here."
"My husband has passed away and was in that plane that crashed in Africa."
The receptionist put on his glasses to make sure that he found his name on the corps list: "Let me see again, he doesn't have a name, surname and last name?"
The only name, surname, last name and nick name is Mr. Kenny Bean. They call him and write Mr. Bean. Bean: B, E ,A and N.
"Yes, I know Kenny Bean like the bean it pronounced and written like bean that we eat�But I am serious, I don't see his name here. Let me call my boss."
"Please."
The receptionist went through out the list of the body sent twice without saying his name. Some bodies were sent in their receptive countries already. She was sure that may be they may be been a mix in the bodies.
The receptionist went to call the mortuary boss just at the office next door. The boss come and asked: "Can I help you? What can I do for you?"
All she wanted was to see her husband body for the last time before organizing the memorial:
She comes with her brother in law to collect her husband's body. She received a call from their office that the bodies of the passenger involved in the plane's accident in Africa have arrived. But the receptionist seems not to find the name of her husband in the computer.
"Let me check" the owner of the mortuary said "his name must be here." He took some more second and then asked "What is his name?"
The boss look at the name on the computer: "Mr. Kenny Bean?"
"I am sorry are you Mr. Kenny Bean's wife. I always heard about him. Is he the journalist very popular?"
"Yes, He is the journalist, reporter."
After 5 minutes of checking his said: "I am sorry his name his not here. Are you sure that your husband was aboard that plane?"
"Yes, I went to drop him to the airport to catch that plane." the woman said " now I am coming to collect his body at the mortuary"
They have received 52 bodies instead of 53 bodies. They were sure that Mr. Kenny Bean body may be in among the 7 missing body. They show them the lists of the recovered bodies. Yes, they were 7 bodies missing: one is American, one is Pakistanis, one is English and four South Africans.
"I am sorry that your husband his among the missing bodies."
Benjamin Mr. Bean's only brother, he was recalling all the events all the good and bad time they shared with his brother. He wanted too to see how his brother looked like in his last day: "I still not believe that out of many passengers my brother may be only one missing. May be your mistaken mixed identities his body with other passengers?"
"We only received the bodies and their name on top of their bodies. They send us the lists and the bodies."
"Let us go on check in the mortuary the bodies."
"Sure, you may go ahead. Take the left passage�"
He took courage and went to check where the bodies where stored.
They went trough all the bodies in the fridge and they couldn't see Mr. Kenny Bean's body. Mr. Kenny Bean's wife made this prayer: "God make a miracle�May my husband be a live�I couldn't take this bad news. May my husband be a live and help him to return to me one day�"
They couldn't find the body and the early conclusion was that the reporters body could have been send in the wrong country or may be it was burned behind recognition. The mortuary service has not received any complain yet. This was the first complain from the decease family.
At Mr. Kenny Bean's house. Fans, friends and relatives come to leave flours and letters. They were many condolence messages from fans to dignitaries:

CHAPTER EIGHT: WHO AM I?
The Kung Bushmen after 5 days of intense traditional medicine where still in drama as the four wounded were recovering very slowly. In five days out of 7 patients 3 died. They didn't know their names, they were calling them by the colours of the clothes they were wearing.
They wanted to celebrate they inherited medicine and teaching to the new generation, they inherited medicines. Those people lived many years on earth without taking any modern drugs. They had the method of combating disease and healing injuries without any syringe.
Those people with they undermined medicine were very organized on they own and very disciplined and cared for everybody.
There were 5 well respect traditional doctors and more than 10 students who were helping and learning how to heal injured people. At night the 5 students were looking after the injured passengers and 2 traditional doctors were often in that room. During day time 3 doctor were taking care of the patients and others students were assisting the doctors.
The first patient was about twenty years old and was wearing a long T-shirt with blue pant is nick named man in blue. When they arrived with those patients. He had two broken ribs and was bleeding from his head. He could respond to verbal calls but his state was not improving. They Bushmen were feeding him with the enriched traditional nutritional porridge. They immobilized the ribs with peace of wood and local plaster.
The second patient was a little girl who may be 8 years old .She was the most stable patient. She was steal weak but could talk. She was wearing a dress with many colours. She was surnamed: coloured girl. She could talk and the only word she was pronouncing and calls when she was crying was: �Mommy.� The indigenous suspected that she may have internal bleeding.
The third patient was the oldest one. He was in his early sixties, he was big, strong and tall man with a lot bears. He seems to have injured is left arm and had a big open wound on his left eyes. Probably when he was forcing his way out of the plane. He was in the coma state. They were feeding him with a lot hot porridge. According to their traditional medicine, hot porridge mixed to traditional plants was the right medicine for me. He was named the big men. Only tree pygmies could lift him and transport him. He was wearing a big golden chain on his neck. White shirt and green trouser.
The fourth patient was the most interesting. Wearing a black suit, all his pockets were full of papers, pen, and had a laptop stick under his shoulder. He had some strange facial expressions. He gets the attention of the public with his laptop well stick and protect handle in his right ribs and arms. They tried to remove it many time to allow them to conduct their examination: "This is one of the strange patient I never see in my entire life. He doesn't want to leave his bag (laptop) and his holding it tied. We have to force this bag out of his arm to conduct our examinations."
"Since his arrival he does want anyone to touch is bag." his colleague supported him.
They taught it was a small suit containing may be only clothes only. With all the respect they let the patient to hold his bag but at some time, they said that they will have to keep it for him: "His bag is too small and I don't think that the bag may contain two shirts inside." they wondered "What is so special to this bag? When death comes we forget everything and everybody."
Apparently he was injured on his colon vertebral but he seems to lean on one side. Right side to protect his small bag (laptop) that he does not want to leave.
The 5 traditional doctor�s with a woman in their group. Assisted by many traditional students, they were in a big Thatcher house, the one used as their hospital. Not furniture but had plenty of roots and pot here and there.
The room wasn't cemented but had a well cared floor watered every day and look like red flour. "Even when we feed him he seems to care a lot about his bag. How can we call him to identify him because he cares a lot about his bag?"
"Man with the bag."
"That name man in bag not sound good." one bush men quoted. "We have good names that we have given to other patients: coloured girl, man in blue, big man then we have to find a good name for him."
They decided to identify the patient in giving them names so it may help them in their profession. They didn't know their names but it was important to give them temporary names. "It just a name." one Bushmen man suggested: "We need only to identify him so to make a difference."
"Identification is not all the names are about.' one of his colleague responded: "When the patients recover from the state they into now, they loose the past and memory. So they may stick to the name that we may give them until may be they remember their pasts."
Those traditional healers had plenty of experience in healing people. They had no medicine but they were able to minimize death with their traditional medicine based on herbal plants. Kemani one of the 4 village of bush men had a community of about 3000 peoples and the bushmen village in total had a totality of about 10 000 peoples. They were experiencing death after years not months.
"Some people remember their past and other do not remember their past". They quoted.
"You are right we have to give them a suitable name not only for identification but for the rest of their life unless they remember their pasts."
"No, let give him a name: facial expression."
"This is absolutely a meaningless and stupid name. When he will find out why we have given him this name after recovering he won't be happy at all."
"But he is having some strange facial expression?"
"What is not the reason to give to someone a funny name? It how God created him and we have to respect his nature. He doesn't have control of his gestures."
After a long discussion, they decided not to give him according to naturally gesture that the man is not able to control volunteer: They discussed: "What name to give him?"
"Let look at of is clothes."
They decided to give them names according names of the clothes
They have given the two patients name of the colour of their clothes because they believe that people wore their favorite clothes and colours their like the most. They were sure that they will not regret of the name that we have given them: The first man was called man in blue and the second patient was called coloured girl. The third patient gave the huge man the name big man. Because he is big, strong and tall. They struggled a lot to carry him. They were still lacked in finding the name of the fourth patient. "But he likes a lot his small bag and has some facial expression like someone in deep pain but in a coma state?"
At some stage they wanted to give him a name as a man with a bag. But they discussed and felt that it wasn't a good name for their patient: "That doesn't not mean we have to identify him by a stupid name."
"I think let look at the clothes he is wearing may be we may come up with a very interesting name."
"Man in black."
"Man in black."
"That may be a good name. Look he is wearing black clothes that mean he likes black colour."
"Yes, definitely the name man is black is the right identification name for him."
"We have all agreed on this name. Who have a better suggestion before we close this names subject?"
"I think we all agree."
"No doubt man in black is the name that suits him."
The following morning. The man in black did recover by the surprise. He could open his eyes and were looking at people around him.
He thought that he was dreaming.
He saw short peoples talking looking at him and wearing few peace of clothes and animal skin. He was saying to himself: "What a long dream. Pygmies around me, short people talking and talking. I hope this dream may end up now."
The Bushmen started celebrating and hugging each other themselves: "Yes our medicine in working."
"Our medicine is very strong."
"We made it."
"Oh the man in black has opened the eyes."
They were very much happy, that their medicine was working on foreigner too. Many people acknowledged the Bushmen herbal medicine and few people were coming to ask for help when they cannot be healed in the modern hospital. They always come in critical state and very few were recovering:
"Thank you God for the recovery that the patient have shown. We have been waiting for a long time to have a positive answer.'
Then they started talking to the injured man: "Man in black can you see us?"
Then man in black was saying to himself: �Who am I?" what he was seeing was out of his imagination. "What a nightmare? Those people in my dream look real and even talk to me. Let me sleep again may be this dream will end soon. What a place? No chairs and every thing is so traditional like in a horror movies."
Then he closed his eyes, the Bushmen started talking: "He still in unconscious state, stop asking him many questions"
They stopped celebrating; the man they thought has recovered closed his eyes again. "Let him sleep it is a good sigh he just tired and still realizing what is happening to him." one of them suggested "For sure he has recovered compare to the big man and man in blue."
Those were the name given to identify the plane's crash survival: Man in Blue and coloured girl.
"We have to thank God for this patient." a pleased Bushmen celebrated.
The chief traditional healer Dumi was in commanded. He was in his late fourties but has been working overtime to heal those patients. He was taught by his father how to mix the plants and give to sick. His father too was a much respected traditional healer in his generation. He concentrates more on the new generation of the traditional healer. He saw his death coming any time and wanted to teach and build a strong next generation of traditional healer: "Keep monitoring the other patients. I don't want to bury one of those remaining patient. Look at the coloured girl there."
"She still calling for a mom."
"Poor lady" Dumi said: "I am sure that all her parent has passed away."
"She is strong and courageous young lady. She managed to get out of the big bird (plane) alone."
"May God be with her." the caring Dumi insisted: "She has a long and prospers life ahead of her�"
Then another traditional student called the doctor: "Doctor."
"I am coming there. What wrong?"
The junior traditional healer went to see Dumi and complained about his finding in one of the patient: "I have the impression that the big man is loosing some weight and we have to come up with a good formula to save his life."
"It normal" Dumi nodded �the man still unconscious and we still feed him like a sleeping baby look well after his wound�"
"The man in blue is moving little bit now�"
The youngest patient had shown a lot of improvement in the few hours. She was adored by the traditional healer: "By tomorrow we have to move the coloured girl and put her in another location were we will give to a woman to take care of her. She need a mother�We have to find a replacement for now�'
"If she recover what will do with her?"
"We will keep her and latter we will hand over to the governmental authorities."
"Tell me is the government has to reward us?'
The traditional doctor look at strangely to one of his student who asked that question and Dumi himself was very angry of that statement especially the word reward:
The Bushmen has rescued once an overturned car where all the passengers have died living only a small baby alive. They experienced many time how tiny bodies survive the accidents and catastrophes. They believed that children because they have fewer sins are less punished by God. There are innocents. God was not that cruel to punish the none sinner like babies.
The rescued baby has grown up not knowing where he comes from and was given to a Bushmen family and grow up as an Bushmen hunter. Even thought he was taller than everybody he never complained why he was taller than other. He was living married in the village like everybody. He heard many time that he was rescued by the indigenous people but he was not interested to leave the beautiful people and culture that he adopted and even dismissed the reports that he wasn�t a blood related Bushmen.
The Kung Bushmen don't work for money or for any award. In their culture our culture every human is a member of one family. The World and it people are an extended family. The only creatures who are not part of the human family are animal and plants. All the creatures who look human expect monkeys are part of the family�They never work for reward and we will never work for reward.
Dumi left the pot of the plants he was holding and mixing and told the man who asked him that question: "If you have those bad ideas go to live in towns where you will loose the sense of a normal human�"
"I was just asking" the student said: �I wanted to know what the reason behind our commitments."
Another traditional doctor added trying to explain to the young traditional healer student who asked that question: "We are five traditional doctors here and you are here to learn to replace us when we will die. But we don't have any intention of getting reward. If you work for the reward you will never be a good doctor. We are working for the love of peoples and work not for money."
"I understand doctor" the student justified himself: "I was just asking a question�I did mean to offence you. You are the one who told us to ask for any questions�"
"This is not a traditional medical question this is a question out of our practices. Ask me many questions about medicine not out of my domain" Dumi clarified: "Reward and money are part of the corruption in the civilized World and we don't allow corruption in our culture."
After two hours the man in black wakes up again. With many confusions in his head, he was still wondering what was going on: �who am I" the patient wondered: "This is not a dream any more how come I still see the same men and environment?"
One of the students saw him opening his eyes: "Man in black has opened his eyes doctor!"
"What?"
"The man in black has opened his eyes again."
�That is good don't ask him any question yet leave him for a while.�
They didn't celebrate this time because they were scared that he may close his eyes again.
They have seen how people who wakes from their coma and run into the bushes and hurt themselves. They have learnt from experiences.
After for about 5 minutes, he did some gesture and one of the traditional healer interpreted: "Then the man in black ask for water with his gesture"
"Water." the students nodded "Yes, the man in black is asking for water. Doctor Dumi can I give water to the man in black?"
The doctor come closer to the man in black, and then told his students:
Give him little water. Wait, I will give water myself.
They gave him some water and he drank in his sleeping position. Then the man in black wanted to go to the toilet:
He decided to go to the toilet. He realized that it wasn't anymore a dream. He tried to wake up and the student tried to stop him from making a big move that will affect his wealth:
"Doctor the man in black want to stand up, what must I do?"
"Hold him tied and helps him to stand up is still in the healing process."
"I need help doctor." the student demanded.
Then they send another student to help that the students who were looking at the man in black.
They held him that side; he wanted to walk out of the room.
The man in black holding tied his laptop look at outside the environment: small houses and people watching at him and was wondering:
"Who am I" while trying to remember his life. "What have happen to me? How can I be in this environment?"
They went with him in a traditional toilet: small houses built at 10 meters away from the main medical facilities. In that rooms only a small hole of about 60 centimeters square.
When he returns with two medical students holding him, the traditional doctor approached to him and asked: "Can you see me?"
The man in black didn't answer him but only look at him with some facial expression. Then all the people who were in that room started laughing. Then traditional doctor amused ask at him again:
"What is your name?"
He didn't answer him only with a different facial expression. Then the doctor tried to touch his lap top:
"No, no."
It was the first words that he pronounced. They decided not to touch for a while his protected laptop. They were wondering what was very impressive in that laptop?
The 7 students left for a while the others patients and come to see the man who has recovered too, leaving the traditional doctors alone with others patients
Doctor Dumi who was in charge with the man called man in black said: "We have successful bring to live this patient. I believe the small bag that he do not want us to touch may be is magic box. He refused to leave it into the plane and now he does not want us to even touch it. We have to respect his will don't touch it�Let him sit now.'
They let him sit on a small chair. They took the girl called coloured girl and send her in another room to live with the only female traditional doctor in their village. Then the doctor said:
"We have to celebrate after the recovery of the all our four patient. It is soon to celebrate now but at least we have healed two patients successfully. Our traditional medicine stills the best remedy for sick and injured peoples."
The man in black was looking at the people and asking to himself: "Where am I? How can I be here? What really had happen to me? Who am I?"
After thirty minutes the village supreme chief called Shai accompanied by two bodyguards and two dignitaries come to visit the injured passengers. The chiefs and dignitaries were wearing only traditional clothes. You can identify the chief by his tall hat of about one and half meter. It was interesting to see a pygmy wearing a long hat that appears to be tall than his body's size.
Chief Shai entered the room of patient and all the traditional doctors and the students great the majesty on their knees. That was the sign of respect. When every body put their knees down, the man in black too followed them.
The traditional medicine had no specific school but they perfect it from experiences and transmitted and taught by experienced doctors. The experienced doctor�s has took all the advantage of all the diseases and accident people to teach the new generation what to do in those circumstances.
The chief was amazed and amused to see a patient from another part of the World following their culture too, "�Come on you don't have to bend your knees also. That means my traditional doctors have made a very good job. What is your name?"
The man in black didn't answer. What was interesting to the Bushmen is that they could try to speak English and their local dialect. They were exposed to the western civilization but refused to practice the western civilization. Shai was very good in English. They were very advanced in civilization compare to some rural villagers. They were talking with many foreigners and tourists in English but strictly talk between themselves in their traditional dialect.
Then the doctor responds: "Chief we delighted to see the speed recovery of this patient."
He told the chief that they identify him like man in black because of his black clothes. He asked for water but hasn�t recovered his memory. The little girl has been send to the woman doctor. She was the most stable patient of all. She kept calling for her mom and we decided to send her to a woman who may represent in min time her mother. She seems okay, we are still worrying about two other patients who still in a coma state. We are calling them: big man and man in blue. The little girl is called coloured girl because of the multi colour she wears�
"I am glad." the chief encouraged his traditional doctors.
The chief was impressed with the work and he personally want to congratulate them. They wanted to defy and show to the World that their traditional medicine is one of the most powerful and effective medicine. They resist to the modernism and corrupt practices and they have a lot to prove. Already two patients were on their feet out of four it was already a big achievement. The tree patients that they lost early were in a critical condition and they didn't have to blame themselves for the lost but thanked God for allowing that to happen�
The traditional doctors were pleased by king Shai visit: "Thank you for the encouragement that you gave us chief. We decided to not bury any more patients. We are giving the injured the mixed medicine plants. We have immobilized the injured parts of patients and completely stop their bleeding. After four hours we gave them our enriched foods. We have two working shifts here: night shift and daily shift. We have a competitive team with the students who are assisting us�"
"Keep up the good work" the chief insisted �You must remove later the man in black here and give him a room in the guesthouse. Make sure that two students take care of him. If he recovers totally I may use him as my private teacher before his return to his place of birth if he remember�"
Mr. Kenny Bean was watching the people talking in their dialects. He was watching a hat of king Shai made of bird plumes like the American Indians clothes. The Bushmen and the American Indians had plenty in common. They way they wore and the way their way to celebrate.
Doctor Dumi asked the chief Shai: "What we will do with the little girl?"
"We will see we may keep her or send her to the government authority to find her parents or relatives. If she is happy here we will settle her here. Those patients will be our proof of the success of the traditional medicine. We heal people here and the government does not want to believe to the efficiency of our medicine�"
"Thank you chief for the visit. I know that you have a very busy schedule but you decided to leave some of your daily occupation and pay us visit�"
The Bushmen has struggle with all the countries authorities and felt that they were on their own. While the Africans has celebrated the end of the colonialism and apartheid them they were still struggling with the new governments on the continents. What was important to them and their heritage was not important to the civilized people.
Many groups of the Bushmen were taken away from their land to make way for the mineral exploiting companies or force to accept a civilization that they didn�t wants. But the Kung Bushmen despite their minority vowed to die with their ancestor�s heritage.
Actually Shai big preoccupation was to see the patient back on their feet. He thanked God for giving them this opportunity to prove to the government and the World our capacity to cure any disease and injuries. He was determined to pursue to a fight and to stop the corrupt civilization of reaching them now and in future generation. So in refusing the entry of modern culture they had to prove that they culture is reliable and didn't need a civilization. Traditional medicine is our powerful weapon. "Thank you chief."
"Keep up the good work. I will come time to time to see the evolution of the patient. I am going straight to visit the young girl�"
The chief left with his entourage and the doctor who talked with the chief told the students and the others traditional doctor. Dumi reminded his colleagues and student: "You have all listen to what the chief have said! We have to provide the patients with all the necessary remedies this is a big test of our medicine�'
"The chief seems to be very concern about the patients�"
"I repeat this is a big test for us. He rely on our afford to heal the patients. You must know that we have to pray God to heal. Only God have the final decision on life and death."
CHAPTER NINE:MEMORY RECOVERY PART ONE
The man in black recovered partially after 8 days of intense traditional medicine. The little girl recovered too and started even playing with the other children in the village. The man in blue died after his state deteriorated he was buried in the village at the big disappointment of bushmen. Out of 7 patient 4 died and tree where recovering. The man identified as man in blue seems to recover too then collapsed. He had a internal bleeding that the traditional medicine couldn't stop. The big man was in the traditional wheel chairs.
After the first part of healing, to bring out the patient of the coma they started one of the follow up medicine healing. Putting the plane crashed survivor in the middle of big circle around fire. Women and girls were doing most of the singing without any instrument. The men were clapping the hands in a rhythmic tune. They sang their traditional healing songs.
For the plane's crash passengers were always attracted to the Kung Bushmen dialect that had many clicks. They used to talk sucking the air, and making the clicks sound.
The Kung bushmen were putting they hands on top of their of the shoulder of the sick people to pull illness. And this process was done all afternoon.
The man in black recovers from his injuries but lost a part of his memory. He was holding his laptop every where he was going. He didn't know how to use it any more but was keeping it. The doctors removed him from their traditional hospital and give him a room in the guesthouse reserved to important visitors.
The traditional medical chief Dumi visited him to evaluated his recovering. The guest house was well equipped. They had five guest hut for tourists. They equipped it with their traditional chairs, traditional carpet and a bed. The mattress was made with the herb inside and covered with a well deigned traditional tissue: "Man in black can you remember what happen to you?"
"No, I don't remember."
At this stage he was talking at least and that was a big sign that his state of wealth was improving.
"What is your name?"
"I don't remember may be man in black."
Doctor Shai, was wondering how the man was taking long to remember is name. The name was crucial some time to discover his origin: "Where do you come from?"
"May be Thailand or Hong Kong."
"But you don't look Asiatic. We do get some rare tourists Asiatic in our village and we know how they look like."
"May be Germany."
Man in black didn't not have a German accent. Namibia before being colonized by South Africa was a German colony. It was taken away from Germany after the world war two. They had also plenty of Germans visitors before and they knew very well their accents. Dumi couldn't identify any Germans accent in this man. "You don't have a German accent."
"Yes, I can remember now. I am from Paraguay"
"What?"
Those die hard traditional Bushmen has received in the past many tourists and scientific researcher who come to study the plants and variety of animals and culture in they land. They were not stranger to Europeans and many African's people.
"Paraguay."
"We don't know that country."
One of the students who was guarding the patient rushed quickly to his house near by and brought a old World map. The map was so old that the student bowered from his father. He was opening pages very carefully scared that he may damage it and get in trouble with his father.
The other doctor where already evaluating. The student return and told doctor Dumi: "The man in black have physically recovering but he is mental unstable."
"May be he needs some time to remember all the past events he has experienced."
"It is a good sign he may talk and we will recover"
"But the chief said that he needs him to come and teach him some thing"
The chief Shai wanted to be the most respected man in that land and wanted to be the cleverest man in the land. He was the only man learning from the rare tourist coming. He sent a message that he was willing the man in black to teach him.
They showed in black the map but he wasn't able to ready and explain where Paraguay was situated. Dumi was telling his student: "You know that our chief wants always to learn. All the tourists who are coming here always teach him something"
"It is why the chief is very clever. He knows many things that we don't know. He is a very curious person I never see. Even some people from neighboring village always teach him some things"
"You may ask him any question and he is always able to answer and talk many languages too"
The in black was still holding the map with him, they doctors didn't know how to read as they didn't have school and refused school entry in their land. Dumi then told him: "Man in black this is the World and we are here in Namibia. Tell us where you come from?"
"Yes, I am from Europe."
"Nice to hear that" Dumi encouraged him "where in Europe?"
"Let me see. Yes, I shop here in France then I walk to work in England and walk to South Africa to sleep"
This was not helping the curious indigene. They got more confused Dumi heard about all those countries but couldn't understand what the man meant by sleeping in another country and shopping in another country: "Man, You cannot shop in France walk to work to England and sleep here far to South Africa unless if your are the magician"
"Wait let me see my map in my pocket"
They were many papers in the man in black pockets; he tried to check all those papers in pocket. Dumi wanted to help me to hold the laptop so he can check freely his pocket. It was a mistake to hold his laptop. The man in black refused in saying: "Don't touch, don't touch."
"I am sorry I wanted to help you in holding your small bag so you may search in your pocket your address."
"Don't touch this and never touch this."
"I am sorry for disturbing you"
"Don't ever try again".
Because of many papers in the pocket he didn't find the paper who can help him to remind is nationality. The doctor concluded. He may be from between South Africa because probably the plane he was traveling was going to South Africa or may be is from France but he has doubts because his English do not have a foreigner accent and may be is from England.
Doctor Dumi concluded that analyzing his words: sleep in South Africa that means he live every day in South Africa our neighbor, shops in France that means he visits often France and work in England that means may be he went to England in work related trip and was coming back to South Africa where he lives�
They concluded that the man in black haven't recovered totally his memory: "He still confused let say that he is from South Africa our neighboring country"
"We have to report to the chief Shai that our patients have recovered partially and in few days he may recover all his pasts: where he is from, his profession and his family."
Before Dumi leave the room, he gave them this instruction: "Please don't let him alone he is in the recovery process and if you let him alone he may by curiosity run in the bush and hurt himself in process."
They were scared that he still not ignorant of the danger he may meet in the bush. It is in this state that many injured patients get lost in the bushes and get killed by dangerous animals�
They always report to the chief the progress in those foreigners� patients.
Dumi after visiting the man in black rushed to see Mdumani the woman traditional to see the little girl.
They were also concern about the young girl. The only child survivor of the plane crush.
He met her outside the house playing with other children. He went to see the woman doctor Mdumani to have the reports: "Yes she have recovered totally but still not able to tell us where she is from but she is too young to know many things"
Ndumani told him that she wanted to adopt that girl and live with her for life but she was scared that the authorities will refuse with her proposal.
The girl named coloured girl was in the good hand of her news friends and the woman female traditional doctor Mdumani. The big man is in the traditional wheel chair in their hospital Thatcher. They were still immobilizing the broken part of his body.
They were trying to come to term with the man called man in blue after a short recovery collapsed and died. They believed that his ancestors have called him and they were unable to stop him from joining his ancestors. It was a normal phenomenon they couldn't blame themselves when a man is called by ancestors and no one may hold us back from joining our ancestors. Joining ancestors meant dying.
Dumi was happy that his seven students has learned a lot from those cases. They have inherited this knowledge from our parents and the doctors had an obligation to pass this knowledge to you. They doctors believe that the new coming doctors will be good doctors compare to. They were not jealous, what they wanted was a good and effective traditional medicine�
Doctor Dumi took two of his colleagues in the afternoon and went to see the chief. Shai was busy and let them wait for 2 hours because he was in meeting with other dignitaries. The chief received them in one of his traditional palace. He had one official houses and seven different houses in Kemani with seven wives. He had also tree wife in the other neighbouring Bushmen villages: "I am sorry for letting you wait for many hours. You know that traditional medicine is one of my priorities but the well being of every Bushmen here is also my priority"
Shai didn't have even to apologize but he respected a lot the traditional doctor to heal him and his two witchcraft who he always meet them to ask for divinity advises, to be alive for many years and to prevent his village form falling. Doctor Dumi was the only man talking because of his position: "We understand how busy you are and we have only to thank you for the opportunity you give us to talk to you personally rather then talking to your advisors"
They were even lucky to wait for 2 hours sometimes, they wait for more than 5 hours to meet him especially is he has tourist visitor with him.
The chief made sure to talk to traditional healer personally because they were part of his dignitaries too. He doesn�t want a medium man between them and him. The third man do not report exactly the reports they collect and won't be able to answer the chief on the spot and that may lead to a delay that may be costly to many patients�
The traditional doctors were not only there to heal and find cure for disease but time to time when chief Shai needed some crucial advice was calling them too, "We come to give you a report of the man in black. As you know yesterday we lost our patient man in blue who have recovered but collapsed and passed away"
He was informed of all the development of the plane's crashed patient. It was part of his new priority to cure the foreigners and test their medicine on them and see how they respond: "I got the sad news�My advisors told me and I still happy with your work. Out of 7 patients we save the life of tree peoples. Next time I think we may be able to save a lot more lives"
The coloured girl was doing well and she can eat by her own and she joinned the children of her age and she is currently playing and running too. The big man still in the wheel chairs and they still immobilizing him from doing movements on his broken part of his body. He can eat now by his own but haven't recovered his memory.
The chief nodded and was happy to hear the confirmation from Dumi. He trusted the man and the other traditional doctors: "That is good news. There is no ways that we may loose one of those tree patients. I think in one month we may hand them over to the governmental authorities and repatriate them in their country of origin. I think there are from South Africa as the crashed plane was heading for South Africa."
"We think so. The man in black has some confusion but told us that he is from South Africa, England and France according do our analyzed we concluded that he is from South Africa and the plane may be from England"
Chief Shai knew very well South Africa. He has been in that country more than 5 times. He has been once in England under a invitation of one of his tourist friend.
The king was pleased to hear that the man in black can talk and decided not to wait for his course: "That excellent."
The chief like the confused man to teach him because they may tell him what they know without thinking twice. He needed him from tomorrow to come every two days to teach him. From 9 hours in the morning until 11 hours in the morning two hours his good for me.
The chief insisted: "Make sure that he is here on time"
"It is why we wanted to tell you. He is recovering and he is confused."
No one in this village knew how to read and write except the chief who lean some words and some writing from some tourists. As they resisted to civilization, they refused the entry of school in their area. :
The chief had many books that he got from a friend tourist and he want to understand what they are saying. He can read and write but he didn't understand what they mean in those books. He was very passionate and curious to know what have happen, what is happening and what may happen in the other Worlds. He insisted: "Bring him in his confusion state and I will benefit in knowledge."
What a world for the plane crash survivor. Seeing each day of his day in Kemani babies and boys walking half naked. Some of they parent will only put sometime a tortoise shell to hide they private part. Some of the tortoise shells were really beautiful. They were decorated with beads. Some beads were taken from the ostrich eggs. It takes many days for the Kung Bushmen woman to decorate the tortoise that boys and babies uses.
The women wore beaded tassels and sometime with little karosses.
Except the visitors, the Kung Bushmen sleep outside they small round hut. The temperature in the Kalahari desert most of the time reach 40 degree Celsius in summer. They only time they bothered to sleep in the hut, it was when it raining or cold in winter.
The man in black arrived at the chief house at around quarter to nine. He had a shower in a local river in the village together with his two guardians and really enjoyed that experience. Holding his laptop as everybody kept wondering why he keep so tied the laptop? The chief was very happy to receive him. The chief welcomed him in his study room. The chief was so organized with a black board on the wall and some peace of chalks. The study room was just a small room with tow traditional chairs: "I am happy to received you and you must feel at home, this is your home because every body are part of your family"
"I am happy to be here too."
"Do you still remember your name?"
"Of course they call me man in black. I am happy and don't complain, I wear black clothes"
Chief Shai knew that the man who was talking to him didn't remember is name. But he pleased him: "That is very good"
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"No really, I wanted to know if you have remembered what have happen to you?"
"I think I walked in my sleep and end up visiting you. I don't mind to be for a while a tourist. When time will come I will return to my country"
The chief laughed for a while. He didn't want to break the news to him that he was picked up by his villager after the plane has crashed. He didn't know how will be his reaction to such news "Do you remember your family and friends?"
"I don't care about family what I care right now is to do my job, right now."
"What do you mean by job?"
"I have a profession of exploiting what many people are unable to exploit."
The chief didn't have any clue of what the man was talking about. For him it was just words of a confused man: "Can I ask you a question that you may not like."
"Of course ask me."
He curiously asked him about the laptop, his new teacher was holding with him: "What is the small bag that you cherish and do not want any body to touch and you have been walking, sleeping with it? Even our wife and children that we love we leave them behind when we go to the toilet"
The chief noticed that the man was not willing to reveal the secret to anyone: "I don't know yet but it is a very important working tool."
"Can I touch it by curiosity?"
"Don't touch" the reporter warned "don't even think of try"
"I am sorry and I won't ask again about this bag again. Let go back to the subject. I called you to share some knowledge with you. I am very curious and fascinated to learn about what is happening in your World."
"I don't mind too to share with you what I know."
"That this excellent it is a blessing to share knowledge."
"So can we start now?"
Just a day, the plane crash survivors discovered some of the rocks that were drawn many centuries ago. They resembled more to Egyptian's drawing on the rocks. They were amazed that those underrated people had very intelligent artists too.
The chief had some books that were given to me by some tourists. He wanted some explanation; really what they say in the books was too advanced for a semi illiterate man. He can read and write but not advanced in literature. I never had been to school but many peoples having taught him what he knew. He didn�t understand what they mean in the book. The only think chief Shai knew well was to read and write his own name and surnames. He wants to learn today history. Look at this book they wrote African story.
There was one man that the Kung Bushmen knew; it was the explorer Doctor David Livingston who discovered the South of the continent. They had many myths about this man who was also a scientist. He was very big in this part of the continent. They knew him as one of the man who introduced Christianity in this part of the continent.
Some of the Bushmen who come to Kumani fled Botswana when they built a clinic at Kade. They felt that they traditional medicine was under treat.
The chief shown the man in black some picture in one of the book. Slavery pictures where man are sent into a ship:
"Yes" the reporter said "in this book they wrote the story of slavery."
"Slavery?"
"I will explain to you what they are saying here"
"What is first the meaning of the word slavery?"
"It written here that slavery was the human trade."
"Human trade or trade trafficking?"
"There was a time in history way back here in Africa. Where some businessmen where catching habitant in Africa and sell them in America to work in the plantations."
The chief was so touched by the explanation of that picture. People were tied up with chain walking semi naked.
"What a sad story. Really a said story" The Kung Bushmen chief said "it why I can see in this picture people heading for to a ship."
"You can see here and it written that first the businessmen where negotiating with villager's chiefs and later they started capturing villagers without the village's chief authorization."
"That means some of my great grand father and mother may be also gone?"
"It is possible because the slave were taken from Africa."
The chief was very emotional like many African. Even thought the much slavery took place in Western Africa and central Africa. He couldn't bear the picture in that book.
Chief Shai started crying, the bodyguards waiting outside the study room entered and asked: "What wrong majesty?"
"My great grand family were taken in another continent and left us"
The man in black couldn't understand why a man wanted to learn was starting crying. But the two bodyguards were concern about their chief: "Who have died chief?"
"I don't know what have happen to my ancestors great grand family and where are there today."
Then he continued crying for many minutes. The bodyguards turn to the man in black:
"What have you said to our chief and boss who do not want to stop crying?" They haven't see the chief crying for years. The last time he cried it was when he lost his mother five years back. In Kumani people rarely die despite living in what the civilized people may call inhuman living condition.
"I only do my job" The plane crash's survivor said. Shai hired him to read and explain what it written in the historic book. He only did what he supposed to do. He doesn't understand either why a big man like the chief may cry! He was sorry if he hurt him but any way he was not the one who hurt him it is the historic book who hurt him�
The bodyguard told the teacher of the day: "Go back in your guesthouse."
The learning s�ance his over come back in two days. The chief is mourning and we don't want to disturb him any more.
"I am sorry" the reader apologized.
The man in black left the chief study room leaving the chief mourning his ancestor�s great grand parents.
He went straight to meet the only civilized people in the village: the little girl then the big man. He was closely watched by two traditional healer students. The big man also had recovered partially. The man in black knew that they had something in common; they were the only people wearing totally clothes not partially. And they were all injured.
They had a short chart: "Big man I hope that you will get out of your wheel chair soon."
"I pray and I thank God that I can see peoples. I still don't remember what really have happen to me."
He knew that I was heading for South Africa and now I am in bush with Bushmen. He loved those people and he believed in the power of traditional medicine. There are some diseases that cured only with traditional medicine.
Apparently the name surnamed big man has recovered a lot include his mind. But the man in black was still little bit confused: "I think may be I am South Africa, England or French. I still don't remember what have happen to me."
He was determined to take the coloured girl once he wants to return home. He remembered that he was from Colorado in the USA. He was happy to see the young girl running around and innocent she doesn't know much about the World. She could be the one to reminder us they past.
The big man was still young but weighted about 1,98 meters and had few gray hair already. He got many gray hairs after the plane crash in the Bushmen village.
The man in black was wondering if this huge old man what he was talking was true. He recovered later than the man in black but he was able to remember really who he was. The man in black tried hard to think but nothing was happening.
He had recovered plenty of things than the man in black. The huge man could tell the man in black: "I will come again in future to thank those people." Verbal thank seems not enough for those adorable bushmen.
The man in black read a lot African stories. With all the experience he had in Amazon forest with the indigenous there. He knew that most of Africans are very generous people. He remembered read that the Bushmen are very good; they are bad when they are attacked. If you are an ordinary human who come to visit them they welcome everybody. They fought day and night to heal them without a reward in return. Even in the modern hospital they treat you and expect you to reward them with a huge medical bill. They force you to reward them even when the medicine fails to cure you.
The big man even recalled some news he read that in some country the hospital even refuse to let the family to take back their decease family member body until, the family pays in full the medical bill owned them.
After two day the man in black went to his appointment to the chief's studying room. Chief Shai was again in a very good mood. He received him with another book. The book was a biologic book.
The man in black stared reading the book and explaining to the chief different human part and their names. The chief was so happy and he gave him some beer too and asked him a question: "Today s�ance is one of the best s�ance I never had" the chief said "tell me what the meaning of surgical operation?"
"Surgical operation is a the processes of cutting or opening the human body."
"What?"
"Cutting the human body." He explained how the modern doctor cut the inside of the human body with they hands wearing gloves they cut or repair the human affects parts.
The chief of the village become more interested about surgical operation in the civilized World: "With what does the modern doctor open the human body?"
"With special knifes and razor" He explained that they can open even your stomach like a chicken then they fix it and close again�
When the man in black was kept explaining to the chief with gesture inspired with beer and repeating the words cutting all part intestines. The chief felt nausea, he warned the man in black: "Please stop now it disgusting�Please stop�"
"�Then they cut the human inside body like a ship, like a cow, like a chicken that we love eating�"
The chief had nausea and vomited then the man in black asked him: "Are you sick now?"
The chief couldn't stop vomiting. After five minutes he said to the man in black who look little bit drank with the traditional beer: "You see" Shai has said "I just vomit one of my favorite breaks fast I liked: chicken mix to our traditional vegetable"
"I am sorry" The reader apologized.
"I warned you and told you to stop explaining the cutting subject"
"I was taken by the pleasure of teaching�I like this new job."
"I fire you."
"What?"
"I have fire you." the chief said "I am waiting for the big man to recover to teach me"
The man in black who just had a small taste of teaching was really touched by being fired while trying to explain the chief: "Why chief you are firing me when I started loving the teaching profession?"
"I have to stop you from hurting me before is too late, the first day you come you make me cry and today you make me vomiting. And I don't know what will happen to me the next time we study with you. I will wait for the big man to teach me"
"I just read and explained what is inside your own books and material?"
"No my friend, Thank you and you are fired. Your debut teaching made me cry when I didn't want to cry. I haven't cry for many years now you make me vomit my favorite food that I ate this morning and next time I don't know what will happen to me"
Disappointed the man who was enjoying explaining things from the books to the Kung Bushmen left the chief's house. He went back to his guest room and find already food cooked and served by the woman in the village. Like the African the Kung Bushmen used to share food. They give you food before you think of asking.
The plane crash survivors were amazed to see the Kung Bushmen sharing gift if two people do not like each other. And make peace. There were no enemies in that land. Out more than 200 plants the Kung Bushmen used for medicine, about 80 were eatable. Some were bauhinia beans, grewia berries, underground roots and bulbs, Acanthosicyos, Naudiniana, but they eat mainly, Tsama melon, Ivory palms and nut of Marula and baobab.
In winter when the water was very difficult to find in the desert they sometime walk long distances to get water and sometime squeeze find in the stomach of antelopes.
They eat too many kind of animals find in they land: the two kind of antelopes: the duiker and the steenbok They eat Porcupine, Jackal similar to fox...They eat bird like Ostrich, Korhaan, guinea folk. There was animal they hated, the big dog that has back short legs shorter than front dog called Hyena. They eat also tortoise and some snake like Puff adder, pythons and some termites.
There was also some animals that were available in they land like Giraffe, Kudu, Eland, Gemsbok, Wildebeest, Hartebeest, Warthog and Springbok but with the changes in the environment, they were becoming rare. Not forgetting the big five. The African big five were the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros.
They enjoyed attending the traditional wedding where the Kung Bushmen get married. But there was a difference with the African's wedding where the man has to pay something to his wives family. Here the man has to work for his family in law intil they get about tree children.
In the African's tradition they were polygamous but the Kung Bushmen weren't much polygamous. The man will take as other wives his first wife's sisters. The reason was that the sister used to get along well compare to those marrying in other's family others wives.
They were struggling to talk some words in sucking the air in the mouth to make the clicks sound.
They were amazed to see the Kung Bushmen fast twirling a piece of hard wood between the hand, one point resting in a hole in a piece of soft wood. That friction produced a smoldering powder which is covered with a soft grass and blow upon to kindle it and produce fire.
The plane survivor could watch during the day woman using they mortier wooden mortar and pestle for crushing some of they food while they tie at they back they babies. Some of the women go in the desert low grass, calmelton Acacia tree to get the fire wood. The only tall trees were the Baobab , Mopane and Mangeti.
Each evening they could watch almost each Kung Bushmen returning home with animals on they shoulder sometime birds.
After tree weeks in the land the big man recovered completely and left the wheel chair. He taught for few days the curious chief Shai taking over from the man in black. He decided to return to his native country and help the little girl to find her relatives. The first step was to join a big metropolitan. He convinced also the man in black to leave the Bushmen.
He met the chief, advisors, and two traditional doctors. The chief let his special advisor to talk to the big man who was representing the trees survivors: "I am short of words to thank you for the contribution you have made in our recovering. I can remember now who I am and what have happened to me�You will always remain in our mind"
The big man thanked God too for allowing the accident to happen and have a chance to become tourists not only tourists here but part of the family. His family does not have any clue about my survivor. He has to rush to let them know that he was alive and stop my fianc�e from building a love affair with another man. They were in April; they were expecting to get married in July. He promised to come next time to visit you and may be to thank you again with some gifts too.
The chief was happy that the patient has recovered with their traditional medicine and was a victory of their unrecognized medicine: "It is a pleasure for us too to be able to help you in your healing process. We believe that is God who made it possible not us�In our culture we do not change our services to gift or any kind of materials not even money."
They were happy and enjoy living a pure life. For them money and material are demons and cause of criminality. God did not make money or materials. They lived on their traditional values and we are happy that we resist to the fast growing civilization. Chief Shai and many people of this land has traveled and never envied to live the fast life in the civilized city. He told his guest wile they were drinking their white traditional beer. "We also resist the government intervention in our ways of living but we respect their policies and we are happy they allow us to live the life inherited from our ancestor"
It was also a life time achievement to heal passengers from a plane's crash. It is an achievement, they never had this case before but they helped to heal many people from cars accidents. They motorists know that when the get injured from their cars they have to contact the bushmen. Many people avoid the modern hospital for the expensive bills and come time to time to our rescue. They were also happy that our medicine will be wildly respected now on.
The big man was also amazed that the ordinary plants and the herbs could heal them from major accidents. "Yes, me too I am very happy to experience a new medicine. In my country I could have pay a fortune for my recovery but here I don't pay a cent"
"Allow us you don't have to leave us like this. Please understand we have to make a ceremony to bless you�I suggest you to leave tomorrow for the big city Windhoek our capital city�"
In they culture they have to bless the patient and all the people leaving the bushmen land. They had to do something to remember the days with the foreigner too in their land. "We have to leave this place in an appropriate manner. We will all celebrate this recovery together and get your traditional blessing"
Everybody in the village where not happy to realized the little girl. The woman who took care of the little girl didn't want to hear nothing about her leaving. But the chief seems to agree the big man request:
"Are you sure that you may take care of the young girl and the man in black?"
"Of course I will contact our consulate in Windhoek the capitol of Namibia and they will be able to help me. I talked with the man in black is not ready to return to his country because he do not remember who he is. I respect his wish and I will only assist him when he will be ready.
The chief didn't want them to be involved in any kind of accident and come up with a suggestion: "You may catch a train to our capitol�It is much cheaper and much safer"
Train are not often involved accident, Shai knew that after a deadly plane accident they may be very reluctant to catch a vehicle that may repeat the same tragedy�The chief wanted to give them two bushmen to accompanied them at the train station Golipane at 40 kilometers from here and in less than 24 hours you will be in our capital city.
"You are really genus" The man nicknamed big man because of his size was ready to walk by feet from here to Windhoek to avoid accident but he was very worried about the innocent little girl that you call coloured girl. He was not worried a lot about the man in black. He was sure that he may enjoy the journey by feet because he is a very curious man who will not mind to explore new environments.
The chief special advisor added too: "The chief will miss you specially your teaching. You have helped him a lot. We don't regret that the man in black made him cry and vomit the in his teaching session. We understand our chief is a very emotional person and it what makes him a very good chief who takes care of us."
The big man who taught the king for few weeks after taking over from the man in black, enjoyed too his latest job: "I really enjoyed too teaching the chief. I know that he is a very clever man and he is very committed to learn. He didn't have a chance to attend school but he is never too late to learn. He motivated me too to keep learning. I will enroll with a tertiary institution to further my studies when I will return to America."
The advisor kept telling the guest good testimony on the chief: "Our chief is the clever man in the village. He asks even to tourists who come for two days to even teach him something."
The big man has something that he never taught of learning from those indigenous. Called the "kung Season"
There was 5 seasons in the land of kung bushmen:
Huma: rainy season October to November. In this season they ancestors used to live in the Mongongo trees. With all the changes they were few Mongongo trees left and that culture of perpetual emigrating was idea because most of their land was taken for farms, mineral exploitation and park...
Bara: Dec to March, it was known as the water in desert. In this season they had plenty of vegetables.
Obe: April to May, in this season it when most of they food were available, natural harvets it is in this season that they store most of they food.
Gum: known as winter May to late August, freezing but mild in daytime. They ancestors used to move a lot in this season for warm places.
Ga, early Spring. It is in this season that water was scare and few vegetable was available.
The chief and his advisor didn't want to tell to the guest their refusal of the new civilization in their land. They ignored his concern.
The following day was the day of departure of the tree patients. The villagers come with drums and started singing and dancing to many traditional songs at around height hours in the morning. Then the dignitaries and other villager gathered to the patient's house.
The patients get out and were watching how the bushmen were dancing and singing. They all were they traditional dance clothes. The curious man in black couldn't hold his passion and joined them. He danced very strangely and every body was just amused and happy to meet a man who looks shy but dancing.
All the dignitaries who were coming saw the man in black in a middle of Bushmen. He was having his laptop in his arms. There was always singing for all the occasion in the Kung bushman land: for funeral, joy, medical purpose, parties and festival.
In the medical singing and dancing there was no instrument but for the other occasions they had they instrument: the drums made with woods and animal's skins. The mouth bows played with one end of the bow of a stick. The thumb pianos is a blocks of woods with prongs that can be plucked with thumbs.
The dignitaries sitting on their traditional chair were amazed and were giving their impressions:
"I never see in my life a foreigner even African moving to the beat of our drum�"
"This man he is just a very special man."
For some it was because he hasn�t recovered his memory.
Some believed that the foreigner dancer was showing them his nature, "I still believe that the man is very special even in his own country he was living in a rural area too." said the admirer.
"I may support your findings." said another Bushmen "The man is showing us his true nature. You can even see by his facial expression that he is a very special man. I still believe that he have recover his past because he do not want to leave is small bag (laptop). He knows what is doing, he can read and write that means he remember his pasts"
"I will miss this man we don't have to let me go." said the indigenous "We can leave the little girl and the big man not this man"
"Let him go to find his family but let pray that he may return to our land. I know that he will come and live with us"
"Gaona or God didn�t want him to die he is very special and have a lot to offer to the World." confessed one Bushmen.
Chief Shai arrived around nine hours in the morning with his entourage of bodyguards and advisors. The sun was already out and the ceremony was taking place in a big field reserved for ceremonies. He sat next to other dignitaries and watching the man in black dancing with the bushmen: "Why did you give this man beer early in the morning you know that he is recovering process?
The chief was convinced that the man in black was drunk but was surprised to hear from his closest personal that the man was not given beer. "Chief we never give him some beer." said a dignitary Bushmen who was there at the start of the good bye ceremony "We were all shocked to see him in the middle of our dances."
"I am not stupid," Shai said "I can see that the man his drunk"
"Chief, we cannot give him beer" one Bushmen told the astonished chief "because by nature he is already drank and giving him beer may lead to many disasters that he may cause."
It was strange to the Kung Bushmen, the man in black looks like a very shy man but when you look at his face you may not resist of laughing. The Bushmen noticed that the man in black is the kind of man even if you are sick or depressed he may heal you and change your temper in second.
"He is very special." Said one village dignitary "I don't think that you may find two men of his kind in the all World�We don't have to let this man go chief and you did a big mistake in firing him like your private teacher and took the big man as a teacher"
The chief was interested to and amused by the man in black:
Chief Shai didn�t have any personal problem with this man. When he saw him in the critical condition he chosen him on spot and told the traditional doctors to bring him once he recovers partially. Thank God that he recovered the first among others patients even though his mind didn't recovered. He really like him and He was feeling how he will miss him too but he swore never not allow him to teach the chief or teach any villagers. He was a very good teacher but is timing and his approach was scandalous. He made the chief cry when he didn't want to cry. The story that he told Shy was true about slavery but Shai end up crying after many years. He forgave him for that emotion he built in him but the following session I gave him little few glasses of beer and made Chief Shai vomit. He has to stop him because those kinds of teacher may make you a mad man. The chief Shy told his advisors next to him: "f I let him continue teaching me. You could have seen me may be walking nude in front of my people and children"
"We understand." supported another dignitary "He may do any thing here but cannot teach me or any body in this village. Take note of my words and there is no appeal on this subject."
At around half past ten hours in the morning they stop singing to give a chance to the chief to talk and bless them. Time was running out as they supposed to walk a long distance to catch the train. The spoke man after a short speech gives the chief the speech in front of the tree foreigners and hundreds of villagers: "What a moment? It is my time to miss so badly foreigners�You come here as patient but now you are leaving us as family members"
It was a big lost and they were hoping that the plane's survivors return to their land and they will be happy to see them again as member of their family. Shai personally too and the villager wanted to keep the little girl and adopt her as their own daughter but they didn't want to get in trouble with the government who could not understand. They might treat them for robbers. They really hope that she is happy were she is going to meet her relatives. Shai missed my teacher and friend big man. He had many private teachers but the big man was the most people who have contributed in my knowledge. He has also help me with many advises how to run the Bushmen. He really appreciates your life time contribution. Lastly he wants to talk about the last survivor man in black�
When the chief cited the name man in black the full started chanting and screaming:
- He must stay.
- We don't want him to go.
- Forever man in black�
- Viva man in black.
The man in black has made already many funs in the few days they have spend in the village. Everybody loved him.
The chief stop for few minutes and continued: "Please listen�Thank you�I heard you now suffer to listen to me too." he turned to man in black "Man in black you see yourself how popular you are in your few days of staying in this community. You are the amazing man I never met and also my people never met a special man just unique it is difficult to describe you. Please return to the Bushmen they love you. You are a man who does not have a marginal culture. You do not make difference between people and I can see that you don't have no classes in your mind�You have been our best friend. Keep in your mind you can return to your people but never ever teach here. The only conditions I strictly order to you�Time his running out let me bless you."
They sang a song to give the opportunity to the chief to rest for a minute and continue with the blessing ceremony. They killed some animals and brought some water: "...I the chief of the Kung Bushmen in Kemani by the power given to me by ancestor and Gaona. I bless you: coloured girl, big man and man in black. May Gaona be with you in your way and bless all your projects�Gaona, God you have rescued your children in a terrible accident and we thank you for the big wonder and miracle you made�Be with your children�"
They were new part of Bushmen family now and we want them to return alive in this land. They plead ancestors to protect those survivors many have died but you save them from the burning crashed plane. They claimed to Gaona by circumstances brought them to them. They were celebrating their departure and pleaded to celebrate again when they will see them again�
When he finished his blessing prayer they gave to the survivors some water to drink as one of the blessing symbol. They all celebrated in cooking the special meal.
Mdumani the woman traditional doctor who was taking care of the little girl mourned her departure. She got used to the little girl. The chief order was final to let the little girl to leave their village. She gave him a traditional bracelet in souvenir of her love to her.
Then around two hours in the afternoon. Chief Shai called the big man gave him the transport money and 2 Bushmen to accompany them to the train station Golipane. He gave order and instruction to the Bushmen to return only when the survivors catch the train to Windhoek.
They were happy to walk in the semi desert land in Africa. With very few animals passing here and there especially the antelopes, springbok and the Zebra. They were happy to admire in the sunny weather, the beauty of the sand mixed with small short trees and isolated flood of water here and there.
They drank plenty of water on their way to the station. Time to time they had to carry the little girl when she was feeling fatigue.
They walked very slowly and the darkness meets them on their way.
After a long walk their arrived at the train station at around 9 hours in the evening. The two big survivors walked but the little girl was carried by the Bushmen. The only weekly train to Windhoek had to arrive the next day at around 7 hours in the morning. The tree survivors slept at the train stations with the 4 Bushmen.
The Kung Bushmen returned to the village when the survivor got into the train. The big man was very exited but the man in black was not excited. The little girl was told that she was going to join her relative and she was missing many friends she made in the Bushmen village.
The man in black told the big man what was his plan: "I am not returning home now. I have a mission in Africa and I have to accomplish that mission before I return home. I have to find the ABC."
he realized that if he continue he could jeopardize his identity and stop talking.
But the big man was amazed of what he was talking about: "Are you mad?" he couldn't believe what he was trying to say "You must be over the moon that you have survived into accident and our families have made funerals"
"I am aware of that but I don't do thing half and leave the other half. I know that you remember your past and I know that the little girl will find her parents or relatives�But me I am determined before I return home to finish my mission in Africa�"
"Any way you don't have to worry your home is next door. South Africa is one hour flight from Namibia�You may go back any time. But I still have to travel more hours again in the same kind of vehicle that almost killed us"
The big man was sure that the man in black was South Africans because most of the passengers in the plane where South African.
The man in black has said that he really doesn't remember where he come coming from may be South Africa, France or England�He doesn't understand why the passed two days he dream about England. "I have been dreaming a lot about a life in England�"
"That may help you to remember because we only dream thing that are happening to us�I may help you, You probably a English but don't worry you will remember your past soon�You may contact the British high commission in Windhoek or the South African consulate or the French consulate�"
"I am not interested�"
He promised that when he will finish his mission in Africa completely he will return home. He didn't want to let his family in drama. Once they find out of him they will persuade him to return sooner than expected. He insisted: "Go find the nationality and relative of the little girl don't talk about me"
"I suspect that you are hiding some thing." the big man said
"Like what?"
The big man had the impression that the man in black have fallen in love with Africa and was hiding his true identity. He loved this continent and I was ready to return to the Bushmen to pay them a visit but He had to rush to my family and stop my fianc�e from getting another man�
"What you can do for me it to keep quit about me" the man in black said "I will find a way to live here and return to my home when I will complete my mission here"
"How can I keep quiet about a friend with whom we have survivor a plane crash?"
"Mind your business doesn�t mind about me."
This was the hardest thing to do, he has to comply to this man will hide his identity. They have survived together a plane crash and they have created a bound. The big man wanted have to know how you are coping and the progress.
"Do not worry you will get my news when time will come. It is to soon time will come�I will get your address"
"Let me gave you my address now"
The big man gave him his address. "I want to hear from you�If you need my assistance I will provide it"
When the were talking a group of hawker enter they compartment with many variety of products: cold drinks, fruits, foods, cigarettes, sweets and other products they were advising their products in showing the passengers their products and the big man who had some money asked the man in black: "Do you want something to eat or drink?"
"I am okay may be latter"
He asked the little girl: "What do you want?"
"Some sweets and biscuits."
The big man bought her what she asked and a cold drink for himself. Then enter a group of preachers, they started singing some gospel songs. Some passengers followed them in singing. Then a preacher started preaching for about 30 minutes. The big man was so amazed about the commitments of the passengers and the preacher: "Man in black, I am very touched and amazed to see in the train people preaching and sing for God. It is a good practice to encourage"
"I am also very impressed with those people and I am happy to travel by train. We couldn't see all those things if we were in a car"
When the preacher left with his group, the hawker keep coming and going in different train compartments� Then come a beggar who was singing. He was holding a tin box where few people were putting some few cents. The man in black was so touched: "�It is very dangerous for him to beg in train�I wonder how he knows his destination? How he walks in different compartments with only a stick as his conductor?�If I had money I could have given me�"
The big man felt like crying. Really we had to come with money. He had some 30 000 USA dollar and 5 000 pound in his bag but he didn't know what have happen to the money and the bag? Now we are traveling with few money that the Bushmen who do dot use even money gave us�
The Bushmen chief Shai used to have plenty of money but keep it without using it. The tourist and some scientist researchers used to give him many gift and money.
At the end he was happy to be alive. And hoped to get more money.
They were only using exchange of thing as the only way to get things. "We have to be only thankful that we have the most important think that life cannot buy it is life."
"Of course money come and go and we may replace money but we cannot replace life�"
Just when they were talking another beggar come into the train. He didn't have both leg and was walking in the busy passage with his hands. They were so touched that the all left wordless.
After trees hours of traveling come a group of people in the train. They were playing some card games. They had some tree cards with them the jockey, number 8 and number 3.
They frequent train passengers knew the cards players and they were reluctant to pay attention to him.
The card man targeted the new passengers. They went to a young woman who look at 19 years old and played the card in from of her. She was watching then the card man told her: "This is a chance for you to make money�Look only tree cards and you have to choose only one card between the tree cards. Witch card do you like?"
"I never play card before."
"Look you have here the jockey, number three and number height. Which one do you like?"
"I like number eight."
"That this very good." he encouraged the ignorant "I will turn all the three cards, If you choose your number that you like, number eight you win the double of money that you are willing to put in this game."
"I will put 2 $."
"That is good. Let me turn the cards�"
They slowly turn the cards and told the woman to pick up the cards.
"Choose your number."
She picks up the number eight.
The accomplices of the card player who were 7 appearing to be ordinary passengers cheer and applauded the young woman. She was very happy as the card man gives her one extra dollar.
A woman who was in is early thirties sitting next to the plane's survivors told them: "Never try to play this game"
She said that those people are train criminal and robbers. The card man is not alone he is with is accomplices. They will make you feel that the game is easy when you will put all your money in that game, you will loose and they will disappears.
Those game are illegal, she personally lost a lot of money. Those people are involved in many criminal activities in the train not only playing cards. Never even touch their cards. They won't let you go with money. Those people who are applauding are accomplices�
The big man was tempted too to play this game: "I was tempted to put the little money in this game"
"Don't try don't even listen to them, pay attention and do not touch their cards�They pretend sometime to borrow you money to play�You will first win then when the money reach a high level you will loose. They won't you let win a lot of money."
"Thank you for your warning."
They tell to the young woman who won 2$ to put all she had as money and she will win the double of that amount:
"You see it easy to win and it is a very simple game�Put the money that you have and you will win the double."
"I have only 15 $."
"That good and you will make 30 $ then more and more and before you reach your destination you may end up with 100 $."
The woman put all the money she had. This time the card man turned the cards very fast and told her: "Pick up your number, by mistake she pick up the right card number eight." The accomplices applauded: "You have won. Congratulation now you have 30 $ out again this money, you will win 30$ and you will have a grand 60$."
"It is too risky" the woman said "I won't play again."
"No, young girl you may win more money."
"I will put 10 $" the woman suggested "and keep 20 $."
"No, you are a good player and may win again. I promise you the more money you put the more you gain"
"I have to keep the rest of money." the woman said "My husband has sent me to buy something. If I loose I will be punished"
"Don't worry, you will win and your husband will be happy to see you coming with a lot of goodies.
The woman hesitated first but decides to win more money again:"
"Let me try."
She gave them the 30$ this time they turn fast the cards and he told her: "Pick up your number eight that will make you rich now." She choose number tree.
"Oh sorry you have lost the money"
"No man. It what I have as money"
"You have lost."
"Please give me back even my 15 $ it all I had" The woman begged.
"Sorry."
She begged them to get her money back but they refused to gave her back her money and left. She started crying and went to call for train security: "�My husband will kill me. It all I have as money�I won't be able to pay even the return train's ticket�"
The securities come looking for the criminal who disappeared for a while�The woman cried and one of the passengers gave her only the return ticket: four dollars.
The man in black asked his friend big man 2 $.
"We have a long journey and we don't know what we may meet ahead of us"..
"Please give me 2$."
"You don't tell me why you need this money, I will buy you food �May be you want to buy a cigarette to smoke? I know that you are not a smoker."
"I need two dollars only and stop asking me the why�"
The big man gave him money: "Take the two dollars�"
He kept the two dollars.
After an hour and half the poor woman who lost her 15$ get off of the train.
The group of the card man reentered again the compartment in which were the plane�s crash survivors. They come in playing their cards and no one was paying attention. The try to convince the passengers to touch their card but all the passengers refused.
Then they change tactics. One of his accomplices who knew their tricks to motivate the train passengers decided to play that game. The card man pretend like he never knew or met his accomplice: "Come on brother you want to win easy money�Good luck�"
He explained him the rules of this game like if he never knew their tricks. Then told him: "Brother chooses a card."
"I will take the jockey."
"Good, how much you put in this game?"
"I don't have cash here but can you borrow me some money?"
"Of course we will give you 50 $."
"Yes I put 50$."
"Excellent you may win more money. Why not try?"
He spin and turned around the cards and told him: "Brother pick up the card."
He pick up the jockey. The accomplices applauded again. They did the same routine four times and the man was still winning. The woman told again the train survivors: "Don't get tempted�The man who is playing is their accomplices. They want to motivate the passengers to play but many people know their illegal game�"
"I was amazed to see the card man loosing all his money�After all his not a bank." the big man told the woman who warned him.
"He will get back that money" the woman's passenger told them. "They target ignorant only �We know them."
The card man stated advising his game: "Men ,try your luck�You all saw how this gentleman who I never even met and seen before in my entire life won a lot of money�This is amazing now is your chance for you to win too�"
The man in black who look at the card carefully saw a small white symbol at the jockey card that was very difficult to passenger to see and called the card man. The card man say to himself: "This is a chance to get this stupid white man. He will loose all he has including his clothes �Whites and foreigners are stupid."
The big man try to stop him: "Don't call him �We have been warned by a train�s passenger�"
"Look and see�"
The card man arrived and asked the man in black: "Come on sir which card do you choose?"
"I take the jockey."
"Are sure you want the jockey�"
"Sure."
"How much you put for this game?"
"I will start with 2$."
He gave him the 2$. The card man was very happy and wanted him to put all he has by first letting him win then make him loose at the end.
The man turned around the card in saying: "This is your life time chance to make money�You won't regret. Pick up your jockey."
He picks up money time his card until the money reached 100 $. He tried now to stop the man who started with 2$ of winning in turning very fast the cards but the man in black kept winning then he told him: "My friend, I am sorry you choose the jockey now take the number tree card."
The man in black didn't hesitate agreed to the card man demand: "As you want�I will take now number tree."
"Let play now�"
The man in black still winning the game. Then was of his accomplices come to his rescue talking in their dialect: "I see now that your hands are tired I will help you�"
"Please I never meet a man who is picking up the right card like this�"
Many train's passengers come to look at the game that become very interesting. This become very complicated for the card man not to give him all his 100 $ he had because the passengers were witnessing the game. He wanted only a way to get back his money. He was working now on credit because he had lost his money. He was frustrated and was sweating: "�I owe you 200$�Same rules applied if you pick up the right card I will have to give the double of the amount. If you loose I will take the money�If you do not have money I will take your black suit and I will give you an old short and T-shirt to wear�"
The card man lost again as one of the passenger told him: "You always win and today accept to loose too."
"This man is abnormal�I feed my family with this business how can I accept to loose today?"
"You are caught. Give him 400 $."
"I don't have, we had only 100$."
"It is your problem we are witness and we want you to give him the money�"
"I won't play any more."
"But give him his money�"
The game was interrupted and the card man and his group disappear when the securities entered the compartment leaving their 100$ as all the curious applauded the winner. The card game was illegal and the card men were often arrested.
Strange enough the man in black gave the 100$ he won to the train's beggars and bought some foods too.
They arrived in the capitol Windhoek the next day around four hours in the morning.
CHAPTER TEN: MEMORY RECOVERY PART TWO
The man in black wished the big man and the little girl good like and told them his instructions. He recovered his memory but refused to tell the big man: "I have partially recovered my memory. I want to give you some instructions: don't alert every body that there is another survivor. I am here in Africa to work not in tourism"
While getting of the crowded train station. They look at Windhoek a clean small city with few buildings. It was here they felt the difference of the rural village in Africa and city in Africa. They could see many people here and there some wearing ordinary clothes and some wearing the traditional clothes. While walking a little bit they could see few beggars here and there and homeless children with their box on the corners of the city.
"How do you recover your memory?�
"I recover from dreams and slowly recovering my memory."
"It is important that you family and friend know what have happened to you." the big man told him �They must know also were you are if you not ready to return home. May be your wife will get another man?"
"I don't care, I am in mission in Africa is bigger than me. I will return home when my mission will be completed."
The man in black said to himself that it was too early to return home. If only he reveal his plan he won't be able to complete is job. They will want him back to Europe as soon as possible.
"That is very strange." the big man regretted "Now that you don't have money to go to South Africa what you will do to get money?"
"I am already working but I will return as soon my job is completed."
The very concerned big man couldn't understand how a man keeps saying that he has unfinished business in Africa and that he already started working: "I respect your job and your philosophy and I will help you. How long you may live unknown? I don't understand you at all. What is your job?"
"My job does not need any office. My job do not have frontier. My job has not really any description�I cannot predict even the length of my stay here, all depend of the size of my work it may take me even one years."
The big man at some stage thought that the man in black was still sick or traumatized with the plane crash or already lost his mind. He wondered how this man will leave in city and continent where he doesn't know any one. How could he live if his embassy in this capital does not rescue him?
"Do you still remember your name?"
"I am trying hard to remember. What I know is that my name is doesn't have a surname and prename or nick name"
The big man realized that the man in black still confused. "I wish you good like in your challenging job"
"We are already in Windhoek and you will find your consulate and in few days you will be home with your family"
"Good luck and good bye."
"Good bye."
There is nothing the big man could have done. He was sure that the man in black was a South African and anytime he can return home. He had to rush as quick as possible to conclude is wedding before he loose her fianc�e.
He wanted to let know to his fianc�e and the world that he his still alive not dead.
The big man watched for a while the man in black with his laptop disappearing in a group of pedestrians.
He continued his search for the American consulate�In few than an hour he made a phone call to the consulate and they come to fetch him and the little girl.
The news spread and his less than two hours of his arrival in Windhoek breaking news appear at the Television. The big man didn't keep his promise of hiding the man in black identity�Unfortunately he didn't know his name�He didn't keep his promised may be because of the excitement of meeting his country men.
Former Mr. Bean colleagues caught the news:
This is a breaking news�The have been an unconfirmed report that tree passengers of the plane flight VOL654 crashed in Namibia from London to South Africa. They were seven missing body from that plane �The survivor name are Carter Ford called by the bushmen big man. A little girl of 8 years old who were traveling with a parent who died in the crash. The girl name is Kerry Brooke from South Africa. They have traced her relatives who may fetch her any time soon. The third passenger still a mystery as he disappeared in Windhoek according to Carter Ford the third survivor head a brain damaged�We are hoping that he will be find is was called man in black�
Mr. Bean colleagues commented: "Do you believe that we may find Mr. Bean? According to the description of Carter Ford?"
Carter Ford returns as a hero. All the media where with him and many authorities met him. But the plane crash survivor was praising the indigenous people. His new style of life becomes a shock to the American. For example in the land of the kung bushmen they used to throw little drink and food before eating. Those little food where thrown for the ancestors. The Kung Bushmen believed in after life.
This was a shocker throwing food on the decorated carpet and in the filmed manifestation. He stopped wearing the underwear and socks. The Kung Bushmen were not wearing socks or underwear. He started only having a simple shower than bathing. In the land of Kung Bushmen they used to bath in the small dry oasis or bath when it was raining. They had very few water. The Kung Bushmen wanted to be natural. In winter when it was cold and there was little water, they used to wipe themselves.
The Kung Bushmen were not using perfumes or deodorant. They used to wipe themselves or bath, when they felt that they have sweat. Carter Ford said that duty people hide they smell too with perfume and deodorant. He stated taking shower even 5 times a day.
"This is impossible, he is not part of the missing man �Mr. Kenny Bean will never disappear like that�I remember when he went to Brazil in the deep forest he used to contact us�But it is not Mr. Bean" His colleagues said.
"Yes, Mr. Kenny Bean body has not been found but it is not him�His body may be was burned behind recognition�Let stop making some speculation�They are blaming our agency for sending Mr. Kenny Bean in Africa�"
There was very little chances to survive a plane crash. They believed that out of more than 180 people aboard, Mr. Bean to be among the tree survivors.
Late afternoon after series of analyses by the short interview of Carter Ford (big man). The daily sun analyzed the story and published in the new paper that Mr. Bean is alive.
In the morning everybody dismissed the report. The government even warned that newspaper. Mr. Bean brother was ready to take to court the daily sun.
The editor end up apologized and the rumor quickly disappeared.
The man decided to get a job not to find some money to fly to South Africa but to continue his report on the African continent. He went to different offices asking for a job then he meets a Chinese citizen who had some business in Namibia. He knocked at his door office: "Knock, knock."
The African used to knock even if they find a door open. Before entering any place, they must ask for authorization in knocking.
"Come in."
"Can I help you sir?"
"I am man in black and I am looking for any kind of job: domestic, gardener,�"
"I am sorry there is no job. Does someone tell you that there is a job here?"
This man has just broken the rules. Many offices were written that "no job" In English and the local dialects. They bosses were just tired of many people coming to look for jobs when there is any.
"No sir, I am desperately looking for a job." Said the job seeker "I don't have a place where to sleep, I don't have food and I don't have money to buy a return ticket to my origin country."
"I am sorry there is nothing I can do for you"
The Chinese man refused to hire him first because he thought that the man in black may be an undercover cop and was send by the government authorities to spy him. The Chinese businessmen were doing legal business and secretly some illegal business. Then when the man in black was about leaving his office he had a second thought: "Wait a minute�You said that you are looking for any job: I have a gardener, I have a maid but I may need a security to my home to look after my wife. I am always away to China, America, Hong Kong�and the have been to break in while I was away. I may need a night security"
"I don't mind to work as a security"
"Good."
In Africa a Chinese was not the one necessary from China. But all the Asiatic like Chinese, Japanese, Koreans were called as Chinese. But Suzuki Lee was not a Chinese mix with Japanese blood. But the Japanese blood didn't matter much as he was called only Chinese.
The Chinese men decided to give him the job because tomorrow he was leaving Namibia but he want him to work as a security but especially look after his wife. This was a secret that they have to keep between men. He meant between him and Bean. His wife doesn�t have to know. He has to look after his house but especially check if his wife brings in some man.
"I have the picture of what you mean"
"I need really your help" Suzuki said "I have been suspecting my wife of cheating but never tell her even if she gives you some gifts and delicious food. That mean I really trust you."
"Thank you for the job you have given me, I really appreciate your offer and I will make sure not to disappoint you."
"You may start working tomorrow and we will talk about your salary tomorrow. You may go to church to ask for a place to sleep just for few days�Wait I will give you 200$ as advance of your salary�"
"Thank you for the money and the job�"
"Are sure that you are not an undercover cop?"
Who was undercover and who wasn't. The undercover that Suzuki was talking was the police undercover. Today, many reporters worked as undercover. This reporter has worked before as an undercover to report the news on the ground as well many of his colleagues worked as undercover.
"I am not Namibian how can I be an undercover cop?"
"Alright" Suzuki said "I hire you."
"Come tomorrow at this office and I will take you to my home. Come before I close my office. I expect you to be here before five hours in the afternoon. You will be starting working from 7 hours in the afternoon and finish the work at 6 hours in the morning."
This was good news of the man in black who have just arrived in the capitol city few days ago. He found a place at the catholic shelter in Windhoek. Already time to time he started his researches.
He visited the local zoo and had the view of the Boa. He needed him to complete his other project.
He wasn't happy that the snake was protected in the zoo. He wanted to see the snake alive with the indigenous. But Namibia had no boa. Those snakes were found in central Africa.
He went to sleep at a cheap shelter. He was happy already to interact with ordinary people quick making some friend here and there. The next day as promised the man in black arrived at the Chinese business men office before five hours in the afternoon.
The Chinese man took him to his mansion. He showed him the all yard. He gave him also a panic button to use in case of trouble.
It was enormous and well builds a two store house, Chinese and European design. The Chinese businessman shown him a place suitable for the man in black to seat and have a good view of the house and said:
"�But the way what is your name?"
"Man in black."
"What a strange name, why does your parent give you a funny name may be it is your nickname?"
"It is my name given by my parents."
The man in black really name Mr. Kenny Bean after many years of service as a reporter takes his job as a soldier. To be able to interact with everybody, to be able to live as a soldier. He leant not to care about conformity when searching for news. He was taught to be like a really undercover military.
"I understand that it why you wear always black suits. I saw you in a black suit yesterday and I see you wearing a black suit today. It is the same suit or you have changed?"
In the land of Kung bushmen, they didn't have much clothes include the indigenous. They used to wash the clothes and wait at the oasis until the clothes get dry. But with the desert wind the clothes were getting dry very quick. Sometime they didn't have to wait for the clothes to dry completely to wear it.
"I have a dozen of black suits." Said the reporter "Same design, same colour and same size."
For Mr. Kenny Bean you have to be four by four to adapt to any situation as a journalist. To be able to drive in the bad states of road and life and in good state road.
The Chinese business man Mr. Suzuki Lee was happy to have someone who look after his wife. He has suspected her wife for many months of having an affair but didn't have any clue and fail to catch her. His wife was a local woman called Tumelo. The couple has been married for about 2 years only.
"That is interesting." Suzuki said "Why did you choose the same model of black suits and where did you get money to buy expensive suits if you are looking for any kind of job?"
"I was given to me by a certain company to promote their black suits as my name is the man in black."
"Tell where are you coming from again?"
"I am from South Africa. I just want to work to raise money to buy a plane return ticket to my country."
"I still warn you if you are one of the undercover cops." Suzuki said. "Man, you won't escape alive�You must keep quiet and live like if you don't see or hear what is happening�I have given you a life time opportunity to work here and I don't have to be captured or caught because of giving you a job�I don't let spies escaped alive or your end up in a wheel chair for life�"
The Chinese community has shown a lot of courage in this continent>. On they arrival in this continent they had almost nothing. But in few mouths they were moving from selling everything on street in opening the shop. They had a strong community helping each other. Many Chinese were dissent citizen but unfortunately few were involved in the illegal activities and they were spoiling the reputation of many Chinese on the continent. They formed a new Mafia in this continent called the "Chinese Mafia"
The businessman was warning him of not revealing some of the deal he does at night with various partner in his yard. It is why he didn't want to hire a security guar to look after his house.
"I have your instructions and I repeat that I am not a spy or an undercover cop. What do I need is a job?"
Suzuki Lee was leaving for Hong Kong and he was return in few days. He will be paying you 1000$ Namibian dollar for your service. In less than two months you may get the money to pay your plane ticket�His big assignment was to look after Suzuki wife Tumelo, get secretly not of all the men who may visit her and their car registration number. He has to record the time, their description and write in the note book and give the report when Suzuki comes back. He insisted: "write down everything you see, hear while I am away. Make sure that my wife do not find out about yours notes"
"I won't disappoint you."
The business look at so insecure: "I wanted to say some thing that I forgot�Yes I don't want you to be my substitute playing in my bed with my lovely wife. If you sleep with my wife, I will find out and I repeat you won't escape alive. We have a strong syndicate in South Africa, you will be find and punished"
Suzuki was very obsessive and very jealous. He divorced already twice because of his obsession and lost faith in all the women.
"I never even thought of sleeping with someone else wife."
"I want your words to be accompanied by actions�I talk less but do a lot of actions. In fact all my talking is accompanied by actions�"
The Chinese man gave him a seat and he sat. The first night was very good and quiet.
But the following day at around one hour in the morning Tumelo the Chinese man wife was looking at the window the security guard. She noticed that the guard was sleeping on his chair. She was wearing her kimono and she asked him from her bedroom window situated next to the guard�s chair:
She has traveled a lot in the Asiatic country and was adopting her husband culture: "Are you sleeping security guard?"
"No" said the security "madam I am not sleeping."
"I saw you closing your eyes man."
"Don't worry madam I am not sleeping but I am praying."
The woman apologized: "Sorry man, I thought that you were sleeping. I apologized for disturbing your praying session."
"Sleep tied madam."
The reporter was told that a reporter is a four by four. Meaning must be able to adapt to any circumstances in life. Living with the Kung Bushmen was already a big report for this man alone. Carter Ford tried to report what he saw in the land of Kung Bushmen in Kemani but it wasn't good enough. He was never a reporter to really describe what happened. Since the day when he was rescued by the Bushmen to the recovery. Even thought this experience changed his life forever but they were much information that he couldn't translate to the world.
What her husband was afraid of was a reality, in fact the Tumelo had a rich boyfriend too. She has been seeing this man every time her husband his away. He wanted her boyfriend to visit her at much as possible when Suzuki is away.
But the new guard becomes the latest obstacle but she later realized that in fact the man is a sleeping guard.
The next day at around two hours in the morning, the woman boy friend arrived with his car and parked the car outside the Chinese's house and called the woman by a cell phone to make a plan to enter in the house.
The woman looks at the snoring security and slowly opened for his boy friend the small gate. The boy friend entered the house at around half past two hours in the morning the boy friend get out of the house unnoticed.
The following day the Chinese business phoned her wife. They talked about many things and lastly they charted about the security: "Tell me how is the security that we hired."
This was a good security for her: "He is a very good security. He doesn't sleep, he always awake. I always check him by my window and find him always awake and always patrol the premises�"
She realized that it was a good guard who won't disturb her plans. The man in black spend most of day time doing the research, interviewing different people and going in different suburbs and township to satisfy his curiosity.
"I am happy that you have someone looking after you especially when I am away."
"I like the man; I hope that we will never fire him�"
The man in black was the right man for the job because, he used to sleep and snoring. The woman was waiting for his snoring to let in and out of the house his boy friend. Like many night shift guard who sleep in they home during the day and work at night. Him was busy recovering and writing the life experience with the Kung bushmen.
The following day. The woman late in the night look at the window and saw the security not snoring. Shortly her boy friend arrived at the gate and phoned her: "Baby I am at the gate can I put the car inside the house."
"Wait the stupid security guard still awake . I am coming to open the small gate like we did yesterday�"
"I am scared of my expensive car parking always outside the mansion"
"Love is more than the car. The robbers will be scared to steal the car because my stupid security may wake up and catch them."
"Alright come and open the small gate."
"Wait little bit, the guard haven't started snoring."
"I will wait."
After thirty minutes she heard the guard snoring and went to open the gate. When they were inside, the hijackers who were traveling in a Toyota venture noticed the day before a white Mercedes parked outside the mansion and saw the same car parked the following day. They decided to steal the car the next day. They were sent by a syndicate who target special cars.
Before they still any car they have to make sure that there is a need of that specific car.
The man in black was very scared to loose his job before completing his report in this part of the continent. To avoid a premature departure of the job he decides to bring always a Bible and open it put on his leg like if he is reading the Bible.
During the day, he was conducting some research in the city collecting some interview and reports.
After the operation ate around tree hours in the morning the woman mocked at the security. The guard was putting his Bible on his leg like reading it while snoring: "Security, are you sleeping?"
"No madam I am reading the Bible."
"Watch out the Bible is falling down."
He realized that the Bible was going down as the woman mentioned: "Thank you madam, I didn't realized that the Bible is falling down�"
"Pray for me too."
"I will do that madam. Sleep tight."
The woman was mocking this time his guard. And always get amused with his boyfriend.
The robbers in the Toyota venture went to ask a permission to their client. They are the only car hijack syndicate in this small city. They used to patrol night and day looking for car to steal. They were not taking cars without the command of their boss.
Their boss had a garage where they used to change the color and the numbers of the stolen cars. It was full of scrapped car: "We saw twice a white Mercedes parked outside in the suburb can we steal it?"
"Which car make?"
"The newest Mercedes model�"
"You see we deal a lot with Golf and BMW but there are fewer clients for Mercedes. I will give little money for that Mercedes�"
The group of the hijacked where all in their early 20's school drop out and wore expensive label clothes.
"No man." the robber argued: "We know that Mercedes are very expensive and it is a risk too because the car his always parked at the house were there is security may be he may shoot at us in during our operation�"
"Let see"
He told to his friend that he knew that their job is too risky but in this country they get few customers who need Mercedes. It may take him many days to sell that car. He prefer Golf or BMW makes because they are easy to sell, easy to steal and easy to change because they always have many spares available.
"Give us a fair price and we will bring you the car early in the morning."
"Alright I will give you good money for the brand new car. I want to see the car tonight�"
After a week Suzuki had to return home. The biggest reason Suzuki married this woman was to get an Identity too to help him to easily travel in this country. Beside the identity document he deeply loved Tumelo. A tall and model look alike woman.
The Chinese businessman had to return the following day in the morning at around six in the morning. The night had to be a very hot night because the Chinese owner had to return the following day. They didn't know when he may travel again may be in one or two month. Tumelo made sure that the boyfriend arrived early and leave before five in the morning.
She made a plan to make sleep the security guard before eleven hours in evening. She thought of giving the guard an old and white TV. She by experience knew that in watching TV the guard will get tired quickly and will eventually sleep early.
She cooked a delicious food for his boy friend and called the guard in her kitchen just after nine hours in the evening: "Man in black �come in the kitchen. I have cooked some delicious food and I give you this food to eat."
"Thank you madam, I really appreciate your generosity."
She gave him the food just when he was about to leave the kitchen, she asked him: "I have also a TV for you. You may watch before your praying session�Take in the garage an old table there so you may put on your TV"
The guard didn't resisted: "Yes I like TV, I haven't watch television in ages"
"Which program does you like the most?"
"I enjoy watching soccer or cartoon movies"
"Cartoon?"
Television becomes a luxury for the reporter. In the land of Kung Bushmen they had no television or even radio. Almost in all the villages in Africa, it wasn't strange to find radios but the indigenous wanted to live a pure traditional life. They were always entertained with what they had. And they enjoyed each moment of they life. Hunting, farming, singing, dancing was more fun than a television or radio set where they never play they traditional songs or talk they dialect.
Tumelo look at the man who loved cartoon. She never seen an adult who love cartoon but it was her first time to hear and see a big man loving the cartoon:
"Yes."
"Don't you watch some movies like Karate and actions movies�?"
"Not that much unless if there is nothing interesting on the television programs."
"You will find your favorite programs on the television. Here we have four TV stations and channels"
"That is good enough to find something not boring."
The man in black watched TV for one hour only and at around then hours in the evening the security was sleeping.
The woman was able to open the small gate for her boy friend.
They robbers went to the Chinese mansion and find the car parked outside the house as usual. The stole the car and drive away.
The woman enjoyed with his boyfriend and at around quarter to five in the morning she opened the small gate for the man to leave the premise. The car was gone. The worried boy friend lost his cool:
"Jesus Christ, the car is gone."
"Go quickly and report to the police and we may find back the car."
"The car was my fortune; many cars are not recovered by the police�"
The city has very few cars hijacking. But it was often difficult to recover stolen vehicle even thought the hijacking was very rare.
"I will call a taxi for you and you may report to the police" the woman said.
"I told you last time to park the car in your yard and you refused. Are you scared of the sleeping guard?"
"I love you but I don't want to loose my marriage because of you." the woman said "The guard is a human been. He could eventually find out and report all our activities to my husband."
"Woman this car is a fortune."
The boy friend confused started looking the car every where even in the dustbin outside the yard. Then the man in black wakes up and accompanied with a stick he asked the man: "Can I help you man?"
"How can you help me while my expensive car is gone."
"Which car?"
"The car that I always parked outside this mansion. Have you ever seen a white Mercedes outside the house?"
"No sir."
"You must be an accomplice in this robbery."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"This is crazy�You must have a clue on my car's disappearance..."
The worried woman told to his boy friend. Time was running out. Tumelo begged his boy friend to leave and may be return during the day when Suzuki will be probably sleeping from the long trip or may be when he will be in his office miles away from his home: "Please man go and we will sort out this matter later."
"No Tumelo. I don't care I want my car back�I will not give the time to your security to leave your premises and join his accomplices to sell my expensive car. The car cost half a million Namibian dollar"
"Please, we are now half past five and my husband in less than thirty minutes he may arrive here�I don't want to loose my marriage."
Tumelo's marriage didn't mean nothing to do to this man. He wanted his car and wanted on the spot. "If you don't want to loose your marriage how come you always call me? I was not feeling well today. You the one who call me and insisted me to come�This may be a punishment for our cheating."
"Please man go, It is now twenty five to six."
Time was running out already people were walking in the street rushing to catch transport to go to work.
"You are watching time while me I am worrying about my luxury car" the boyfriend said.
He didn't know where to start to search for a car hoping for a miracle.
"I am calling now a taxi." The woman said
"Taxi. I will never enter in a taxi in my life. I am not a kind of man who may use a taxi. This is an insult�"
He didn't like taxi in his life and wasn�t ready to take any taxi. All he wanted was his car.
"So what you want me to do now." the woman said "Please leave now�I will call the police now.
The party was over; the man didn't want to leave without his car: "Do what you may do and I will not leave this place without my car. I warned you about parking the car outside�"
At some stage the boyfriend thought that the woman too may be accomplice of his missing car. She may have arranged with the robbers to steal the car. The trust he had in the woman disappear just like that.
The woman desperately called the police who arrived shortly on the scene. While the police were questionings and making reports the Suzuki Lee the Chinese businessman arrived. He could see from far polices officers and their cars parked outside his mansion. He thought that some think bad had happened to his wife. He asked the police officials: "�What is going on?"
"We are getting report of a stolen car."
"A stolen car here?"
"Yes" the police officer confirmed "the robber stole in the early hours in the morning a car here."
"Which car?"
He thought that some courageous robbers broke into his years and stole one of his car. "The white Mercedes Benz."
"I am the owner of the house and I don't have a white Mercedes"
"I don't know what your are saying because this woman over there have called us to report a stolen car"
The woman confused and not knowing what to do look at his furious husband without saying any thing or didn't even hug him as usually.
The Chinese businessman asked again: "I don't understand and my wife is very cold. Who is the owner of the car?"
"Him."
They shown him a man that he never even know before Suzuki said: "Who?"
"The man over there .Can�t you see man?"
The Chinese man very angry attacked the owner of the car with a iron stick: "You the one who is messing around with my wife. I will kill you"
The police officers stopped the Chinese businessmen from fighting: "You are not here to fight�If you continue your behaviour you will be lacked up"
"This man has been playing with me for a long time." He has suspected his wife cheating for the past two years "I was suspecting a love affair of my wife. When I leave the city to look for money he stay partying with my wife"
The Asian has been smelling his wife cheating for many years. For many people foreigners can be sometime stupid especially not listening to the local dialects. They may be criticized and even mocked without finding out.
Every time Tumelo talked on the phone with a man in her African dialect, she always says that she was talking to her brother or cousin. He heard twice late at night talking to a certain man at the phone. As he didn't know the African dialect Suzuki accepted all the woman was telling him.
The Chinese man approached at his wife and slap Tumelo. He imagined how the woman played him fool for years: "I am doing all those trips to feed you�I gave you all you ask to make you happy�It how you thank me now"
The polices officers told the businessman: "We don't have no choice now. We will lack you now�"
"This woman has everything she asks for" Suzuki said "and now look at how she is thanking me."
Not only he took care of Tumelo but even took care of Tumelo's parents and some of the family's member. Each week he has to give money to all the family's members visiting him at his office.
Tumelo was the one who called the police after the boyfriend refused to leave and Suzuki first wanted to hurt the Mercedes owner and now slapped his wife in the police presence and shown any sign of respect to the men of order. The police man told the angry husband "If we were not here you could have killed people here"
"Yes, if you were not here you could have come to called corpses not human been" Suzuki insisted.
"Watch your languages man."
"You are man like me please be me for one minute what will you do if you find your wife with another man?" Suzuki said.
He was traveling in some area where he sleep in inhuman conditions with mosquitoes and other dangerous insect just to feed her while she is sleeping with another man in his palace and in his bed. "What a mockery!" Suzuki said.
The African's policemen were sometime very elastic when it comes to the domestic violence. In their tradition's sometime hitting or beating a woman or a kid was part of education. Some women and children were educated with slapping. But in the new law, it was abuse and a offence. When a husband hit his lovers or a child when it is not serious, sometime they could only give advises. The only time they used to open the abuse case was when the beating where exaggerated or have been going on for many days.
They wanted to balance some how the African's tradition and the new law. It wasn't that easy. It needed a common sense and a good judgment.
While watching confusion ally the scene Mr. Kenny Bean priority in this land come into his mind. To find and complete the famous formula that Steve Rowan left: ABC+D (H2O. That formula was his reason of hiding his identity and leave in this continent. He was far from completing that formula.
"You are a man don't let the emotions control you instead control your emotions." The police officer said.
Then the police called the man in black to give his statements: "They have told us that you are a security here and the car owner suspects you of being an accomplice of this robbery."
"I am a security to look after the house and you are the one who supposed to control and patrol the streets�Don't ask me what is happening on streets�"
"But it seems you were fast sleeping on your duty."
"I don't sleep but I pray�I repeat I am not supposed to look what is happening on streets you the one who have that assignment of looking the streets�"
The Chinese man was afraid that the polices may ask the man in black the security registration number intervene to save his unregistered security guard: "�He is not really a security guard�He is my gardener who time to time look at my wife if I am away�"
It what happen often when you hire an unregistered employee. The challenge arrives when you have to deal with an accident or when there is an incident.
For many people the cheap labour was found in the unregistered people. And that cheap labour often comes from people who had very little choice. And take whatever they offer them. Most of those people were foreigner. The citizen most of the time they have choice and trust in the law that protect them.
Then when the polices officers, wife and the boyfriends left the Suzuki Chinese businessman congratulated the man in black for the job he never done: "�You just did what I was expecting you to do�"
Suzuki thanked him because he has caught the man I was looking for many years. He insisted: "Congratulation I will pay you double your salary for the job well done. You have the money for your ticket already"
After a short silence a thought come in Suzuki's mind: "Can you please look after me while I will be busy finalizing my divorce�I am scared that my wife and his boy friend may revenge on me�"
Suzuki didn't know how many relatives Tumelo had and who was relative and who wasn't. In his mind he has met hundred of people who are related to Tumelo. He knew that African extended family was too big to know everybody. He didn't know who will hut him and who won't hurt him.
The most famous and the most wanted formula weren�t easy to define. The formula that makes him arrested. The formula that makes him lives with Bushmen, the formula that makes him a watchman. The formula had many consequences. He imagined and concluded why Steve Rowan choose him instead of his family's members or even one of his thousands of student he knew.
He wondered for a while why Professor Steve Rowan has to give him this very complicated and difficult assignment. While idea kept running into him, he decided to please Suzuki who was talking to him:
"Thank you for this opportunity and the money you will give me" Said the reporter "Why your wife have left too?"
"Because she knows that I will kill her. I know where she is going. She is going to her cousin who lives not far from here�It finish I have to divorce her she has played me for a fool for many years and I will sue her boyfriend�"
The Chinese businessman was not the kind of people who check their security guard who are sleeping.
He had trust in his security. He never pressurized his security guard. But this time the man in black changed his method of sleeping. He bought a big hat that he wore late into the night. The hat was preventing any one of seeing his eyes closed. He used to sit on his chairs sleeping with a hat hiding his eyes.
After two weeks of working. One morning he decided to tell his boss about a bad dream he had:
"Morning boss."
"Morning."
"I have a very bad news for you."
"Which news?"
"I don't know how to explain to you."
"Tell me I am your boss and friend too. You don't have to hide me anything that you have �You may help me in preventing a danger�"
"I had a bad dream last night."
"What?"
"A dream."
"Tell me."
"I had a dream that you were traveling in your red Cherokee and did a very fatal accident."
"I fire you. You are fired."
The man in black was wondering why they can fire him for telling a dream?
"How can you fire me?"
"I don't pay you for dreaming." Suzuki said "I don't pay you for sleeping, if you dreamed that mean you have slept on duty to dream. I will give you your full monthly salary and with the urge bonus I gave before you may go to South Africa."
"Look, but I� "
"There is no look or but." Suzuki said "You are fired. Thank you. I will put electrical fences and buy dogs to look after me"
The biggest lesson he learnt is that a watchman or a nightshift guard do not suppose to dream.
While leaving the yard of Suzuki, he said that the formula of Steve Rowan was never complicated. He does care for leaving this country soon as expected.
CHAPTER ELEVEN :AIDS AND AFRICAN BELIEF
The main in black recovered his memory and his past life.
After being fired for dreaming on duty he stayed in the Namibian capitol for only one day. I claimed to be a South African who has lost his documents and passport in a hijack incident.
They gave him a temporary document by the South African consulate to travel to South Africa. In the name of man in Black.
They were no need for the man in black to panic. He had recovered his past and had his best friend, probably the only man with whom they grow up together living in South Africa and precisely in Johannesburg the biggest city.
His name was Doctor Edmond Richard a medical dentist specialist who had is private practices clinic.
The man in black who had his friend's both addresses: home address and work pace physical address decide to meet him at his work.
He was impress by the infrastructure find in Johannesburg. He never thought or think of finding a modernized city at highest World standard in Africa.
He arrived in South Africa the 22 June 2004. He left his country the 18 March 2004. A trip that supposed to take hours took him already tree month but was still very much decided to pursue and discover the formula left. South Africa was just the beginning of a trip that will take him to about 10 African's countries.
He took a taxi from the airport to Edmond�s office. When he arrived at the office he went to the reception watching the small and clean office. The receptionist asked him: "Can I help you sir?"
"My name is Mr. Kenny Bean I want to see doctor Edmond."
He hasn't seen Edmond for many years. Edmond his best friend with whom he grow up with. The only time he saw him was when the Edmond visit England where his friends and many relatives lived.
"The doctor is not in the office now." the receptionist said "He is in a meeting and may be back in one hour do you mind to wait"
"Of course I have to wait for him"
"It is in connection with what" the receptionist said "may be if it is an emergency matter I may call him on his cell phone."
"Don't worry I have a message for him from England."
"You may sit there with patients�Can I call him?"
"No I would like to meet him in person"
"Can I take the message?"
"No it is a private matter."
"If it is a private matter I may call him"
"I am not in hurry. I will wait"
When the doctor arrived he entered the office by the back door. Mr. Bean who started using his real name didn't see him. The busy receptionist started calling patients according the queue. The plane's survivor was number six on the queue.
The receptionist forgot that Mr. Kenny Bean was not a patient. He call him at his turn: "Sir you are next."
When he entered the office. The busiest dentist went to get a cup of coffee in a coffee's room.
The former man in black as usual accompanied by his laptop entered the dentist's office. He found no chair in the office. Only tree dental chairs. He sat on one of the chair waiting for the doctor to come in.
Edmond spends some time in the reception room checking some mail and the client medical bill on the computer.
He waited for about 10 minutes without seeing the doctor he decided to explore what he have seen in the office. Then end up playing with the dentist doctor's instruments on his teeth and clothes. Then he had the ban of the doctor he quickly stopped.
The doctor without expecting his old friend look at him: "Tell me that I am not dreaming?"
"You are not dreaming." the reporter said "I am Mr. Kenny Bean"
"Bean you supposed to be in a cemetery man, in a decorated grave or tombstone �Are you a ghost?"
"I am a plane survivor"
"No man, they were only tree survivors. I saw on the television news"
"I am exactly the third one."
Edmond mourned and regretted for many days to have lost his friend with whom they grow up together. He wasn't anymore a friend but was a part of his family.
Then the doctor hugged his best friend: "What a miracle. What a day" Edmond said "You have reserved me a life time surprise. This is really a shock of my life. Mr. Kenny Bean it you"
Edmond hasn�t seen his friend for more than five years. The last time he was in London he was in jail. And didn't manage to visit him to jail. It sounded like even the best friend abandoned him or he was scared to be associated with a criminal. Sometimes the friendship end when one of friend his accused of being criminal. �when the days are dark friends are few". The African says that "when there is no more food in the house even the aunt are rare"
"I won't forgive you for not coming to visit me in prison. You don't know what your visit could have mean to me"
It was always painful when your site of the story. Sometime they don't even give you a chance to hear your site of story while there is always two side of story in each conflict. People's sometime judge you with one side of story they heard.
Edmond was very sorry, He was shocked when he read in the newspapers after Mr. Bean realized that he was claiming not having a single friend. He was so disappointed that Kenny Bean have not mention his name. Mr. Bean was his best friend. He remember when they were growing up with all the scandal Mr. Bean did, It was Edmond only was could understand him. Even Mr. Kenny Bean�s parents couldn't understand him. They used to come and complain to Edmond. He was the only one who could understand him and who knew Him. Everybody treated Bean like an abnormal man. After those moments and souvenir Mr. Kenny Bean neglected me and forgotten him.
Edmond apologized: "I am sorry if I didn't come to visit you in prison. I had very few hours and I was attending meetings in London. I didn't met even my father who still in Manchester. I only met my mother who is in London"
"Tell me what the reaction of your wife is after this accident?"
"If you are my best friend. I warn you don't tell any one of my plan survival."
"Stop man" Edmond said "I cannot hide this great news. What are you telling me?"
"I was send here to work and I will return home once I have completed my mission here in Africa to cover many issues include the AIDS epidemic reports"
He has met many challenges on his way to Africa. The plane crash made him lives with his rescuers. From a transit to Windhoek. While the initial plan was to land in South Africa first before heading for other's African's countries.
Edmond was still very much in touch with his home land. He knew everything going there. He used to call to England everyday of his life. He used to receive a huge telephone bill because of the international call he was making in his home land. He was even in position to inform Mr. Bean what was going on in England: "Everybody will be happy to hear the news. Even if you don't want to return home. At least the must know that you are not in a tomb but you are in Africa. I heard that your wife have sued your agency for deliberately sending you in Africa to work after your realized from jail. According to the recent report your colleagues knew the plot that the plane will crash. This matter may be stop if you appear alive."
Mr. Kenny Bean recalled the night mare, the night when the plane he was traveling in went crashed in Namibia, in the land of the Bushmen: "I don't know and I don't want to know. The plane had a mechanical problem before the crash" Said the plane crash's survivor "I remember how we struggled inside the plane"
"Look there are many speculations of the plane being a plane sabotage, a rocket or missile who hit the plane, of mechanical neglecting, of terrorists"
There was endless verbal diarrhoea on each story in our days. The trus was still a big mystery to many people.
Doctor Edmond had to cancel all the patient rendezvous. They chatted forgetting about time. The receptionist left leaving them behind talking. They wanted to talk about everything in this conversation: "May be the may blame the mechanical personnel but the others causes are only speculations. You know today the World is colonized by media speculations"
When those two friends always met they didn't care about time. They use to talk about everything spending even 5 hours without realizing that time was going. Even when they charted on the phone, it was always an hour chat without realizing of the phone bill. They even forgot that they have to sleep.
"But I don't agree to keep my mouth shout" Said Edmond
"I really mean it" Mr. Bean said "I am angry for not visiting me in prison but I may forgive you if you keep your mouth quiet"
It was the only way to keep his friend's mouth shout. He agreed to make up for not visiting Mr. Bean when he was in jail.
"You are my best friend." Edmond wanted to make up his careless mistake. He didn't know that not visiting his friend in bad time could have jeopardized they relationship. "We have a lot in secret and I will help you"
"It what friends and especially good friends are for."
Edmond was worrying about one thing at this stage Mr. Kenny Bean's marriage. "You may loose your lovely wife. I must be honest friend, you will not find another wife if you loose this wife. She is the only one who loved a controversial man like you. No woman may love you in this World."
"I don't care." the reporter said "She found me a journalist reporter and she will leave me as a journalist reporter. If she was meant to leave me she will go and if she was meant to die with me she will stay."
Amazing the man in black was determined to keep secret of his plane crash's surviving:
They marriage has been on rocks many times. At they start of the relationship it was very shaking that many people gave them a little chance of surviving in a era when the divorce is so common. Before their wedding they break up and fight so many time that it become a way of life than an unusual things. Despite all the challenges they uses to get together. Mr. Kenny Bean tried even to forget his lover in trying to get other girls but he was always returning to the woman of his life Kerry.
When they finally married, the trouble wasn't over. The reporter who initially was traveling for days usually takes months sometime years. His wife felt always neglected. She wanted her husband to show a lot of interest in her. To make her priority in life.
At some stage, she felt unsecured that her husband do not love her much but loved his work more than her. Taking long away from your lover sometime makes some cheating suspicions. In the Amazon forest, the Aztec tried to give him a woman after he has spend many months with them. In the Kung village. The plane crash survivor Carter Ford then known as big man and Mr. Kenny Bean known as the man in black where given women. In the attempt to make them stay forever in they land. The Kung Bushmen always says that "If you want to love a place get a lover in that place. Even thought Carter and Bean loved the land may be it was too premature to get married in those land.
At the late stage, Kerry ends up accepting the fact that her reporter husband loved her and loved his work too. She got uses of her husband leaving her for many days, without any contact even a simple telephone call. It become a way of life.
Edmond decided to save Mr. Kenny Bean marriage. He wasn't ready to hear his friend divorcing like him. He decided to make Kerry wait for him without revealing that he his alive. He decided to get in contact every week and stop her from developing love affair with another man.
"It what friends are for" the reporter says.
"You haven't change man" Edmond says "You still the same man I knew since when we were eight years old in the park. Tell me about your work here in South Africa?"
Mr. Kenny Bean was still dedicated to his mission to cover the AIDS epidemic in general and the effect of the deadly disease in the continent and Steve Rowan left me an assignment to tell to the world...His plan was still unchanged he had to start with Africa power house, South Africa then move to Zambia, Uganda, Nigeria and Botswana �
"I am the right person who may help you to connect you in this domain." Edmond said "I will help you with the information"
"As a reporter I have to work as an undercover to collect each and every cents of information about AIDS. I plan to work as a volunteer"
The hospital and big AIDS institutions need volunteer. Edmond was in the position to connect him as an healthcare member. Mr. Kenny Bean didn't have to worry about food, transport and house. He was in position to use Edmond property and cars. Edmond has just finalized the divorce to his wife of twelve years. They had two children. She left with the children. Edmond only see them Wednesday when he fetch them four two hours dinner. They come for a weekend to Edmond's house every two weeks.
"This is real a torture." Bean said.
Mr. Kenny Bean could feel the impact of divorce from this man. And understood why his best friend didn't want him to be in the same situation:
"There is nothing I may do." Edmond confessed.
He used to see his children every day but now he was very limited to see my own children like if he was in prison. Divorce was not a good thing, he felt like he was a prisoner of his own rights. There is nothing he can do the law have created those barriers in limiting him from seeing his own children while he pay his children maintenance.
"There is nothing really you can do" Edmond regretted.
Those limited conditions brought a big love between children and their father. What is rare is expensive if Gold and Diamond were not rare they couldn't be expensive. There are expensive because there are very difficult to find. Edmond and his children have created a strong relationship because of those law instructions. Each and every moment they shared together were special.
"Did you loose a lot money after divorce?"
"No."
He was lucky because Edmond's wife had also a successful work. She is a surgeon specialist on top of that she graduated with distinction. That have lead to our divorce, she wanted Edmond to be under her instructions because she studied more than him. Edmond resisted because as a man will never accept to be dominated by my woman even if she is a queen or president. He was an African cultured even if thought his was white in skin. He has been living in this continent for many years. His way of thinking is African now. He definitely refused to get marriage again. For Edmond what the use of getting married if we will divorce? He noticed that most of friends are divorced.
Sad to hear the main reason of Mr. Kenny Bean's friend divorce. Because the woman studied more than the man and she graduated with a distinction.
Edmond concluded "Nothing surprising because divorce is a new of life"
"I am very lucky for being married too, I also notice that 90 % of people I know have divorce. I think we have to classify divorce in the same class to AIDS epidemic that is growing very fast in the all world."
"It easy real a pity."
Mr. Bean was shock to hear all sorts of excuses for divorces. Even thought cheating was the biggest reason and sin in marriage but they were just to many reason actually. For himself, his job commitment was one of the reason that could end they marriage. But funny enough Edmond has to divorce because of qualification. Because the woman was more educated and end up getting a distinction that he never had.
The former man in black kept collecting information on all the social level.
The following day the former man in black decided to visit an hospital before his friend connect him in the volunteer work at the AIDS institution.
He read many billboard and advert of AIDS along side the property. They were warning people of the pandemic and urged the people to use all the safer measures to stop the spread of the disease.
More than 30 different kind of advert where placed on the wall in such way everybody could read.
He read all the adverts on the wall for a while.
He as usually wearing now another black suit he took from his best friend. He comes across to a group of people. He decided to create a conversation about AIDS. Most of the people in this group were in their late twenties early thirties from different African countries. He greeted them and asked a question.
They were sitting on the bench outside and were talking about soccer match before Mr. Bean changed their conversation as he was at the AIDS institution. He was sure that they may be interested in that topic: "I don't understand what the origin of AIDS is?"
One of the people from Zimbabwe answered:
The man answered recalling the sad story to have happen to his family: "AIDS is real. Few people may be infected but everybody is affected."
He never knew that AIDS exist until his sister was diagnosis with AIDS. She kept secret for many days until she started suffering and loosing weight. They went to many doctors and traditional doctors without finding a cure. They spend a lot money�She suffered a lot, she was not suffering alone we all suffered, they had to take her for her toilet, we used to batch her and feed her. It is a very emotional subject to talk about and after a long illness she passed away.
He said: "I think that AIDS is a God punishment sent to us human to stop cheating and playing with many women�few peoples are infected but everybody is affected."
Mr. Kenny Bean was very interested in what ordinary people on street things about this pandemic. He has a reliable scientific source but wanted to mix with street report. He did the same in Namibia too.
Another man who claimed to be from Ghana intervene: "AIDS is a God punishment to human for cheating"
He regretted that human don't respect they culture no more. In their tradition woman and man were not cheating. Even those who had many wives, their wife were not cheating. Today a man may have only one wife and but only wife will cheat at work, with your neighbour even with your friends, colleague or relatives. He said and encourages people to divorce when partner cheats.
He has heard this kind of statement even in Namibia. What he wanted more was the street side of the origin of AIDS. He has heard one, people calling AIDS a punishment from God for cheating.
Another man from Burundi intervene: "I don't believe that the AIDS disease is a God�s punishment because God is love and the one who love human won't kills his children. God is love and God loves us, he will not punish us with this epidemic."
This was one of the views he was happy to hear. A man who contradicted another one on the punishment issue. "I know that AIDS is a Japanese syndrome created by Japanese to revenge their defeat to American. Remember the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima? The Japanese scientists went into research laboratories and find this virus then their infected beautiful prostitutes and send them to America to revenge the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. Because Americans control themselves the epidemic exists there but not at an alarming quantity like Africa�It was quickly stopped by the prevention: all the condoms methods were invented by the Americans�"
Mr. Kenny Bean shook his head. It was one of a new thing he has learned. A street man able to come up with something new he hasn't heard before.
Another man from South Africa said: "I am an educated young man. I don't disagree all those theories what I know is that AIDS is a disease that the origin is not still unknown like many diseases."
They don't know the origin of many diseases but what they have to care is the cure. He urged people to concentrate to how to stop the spread of AIDS. The world was loosing many successful brains every day. AIDS become associate to Poverty because the bread winners were dying living children orphan. He supported the use of condoms but condoms only is not enough we have to add our traditional culture of not cheating to stop the spread of this deadly disease.
He was more interested in the association of AIDS and poverty. Already the continent was the under privileged one. With the AIDS epidemic killing the bread winner it brings more misery and pain in the community.
Then one of the man in group asked Mr. Kenny Bean: "You the one who provoked this discussion and now you don't even contribute?"
"I ask because I don't know." said the reporter "If I knew I couldn't bother to ask you this question, I am sorry for not contributing. What I know is that AIDS is the most controversial disease in the World. I can say that AIDS is a disease like any disease like: flu, malaria, typhoid�Few people are infected but we all affected by AIDS."
There was no safe heaven for AIDS. Every body in the World was aware of AIDS. He look at the corner a full pack of free condom. He realizes how the African governments were much dedicated to fight AIDS in making available the preservative in many public places.
The man from Zimbabwe who was the first one to answer on this topic supported the reporter: "You are right AIDS must be considered like any disease exists in the World. Today they mocked at the people who contract AIDS and by contrast the AIDS patient hide they status. My own sister who had AIDS hidden the disease from us."
Mr. Bean was very amazed with the degree of awareness in the people from street. Another young man completed: "Before we had racial discrimination today we have AIDS discrimination. We are scared of approaching beautiful woman because those women may have a very dark past. You don't how many men took her."
Another man said: "I think that AIDS is the sign of the return of Jesus in the nearest time. Jesus is coming soon"
They were many conflicting report on AIDS. He was shocked to hear when another man said that �Sleeping with a virgin was the only cure for AIDS"
They were many myths around this disease. While many government were trying to prevent the new cases and deal with the cases existing. The world governments were trying to raise awareness. Things ahs changed in this continent where in many African's countries Malaria was a big killer. It wasn't only the governments struggle but also the grand parents struggle when many of those retired people has to look after the grand children while they children's life was cut short.
The young people even told him that they were very scared of having a simple diarrhoea or any unmorally on they body while was never hundred percent perfect. Some suspected that it originated from bestiality practices.
CHAPTER TWELVE: AIDS AND WITCHCRAFT
He was able to get much information about HIV-AIDS. He interacted a lot with many patients and was also able to provide advisors to those who were seeking counseling.
Mr. Kenny Bean after 6 months of work by his friend's pressure had to resume his reports because some people were close to find his true identity. Especially the used of his native name.
Mr. Kenny Bean started writing at night every story collected during the day: what ordinaries people think about AIDS. He also wrote what he remembered about the accident and life with Bushmen.
The train incident and he short experience as a security guard.
His best friend found him a job as a volunteer counselor at the AIDS clinics. He went for a one month formations and training about AIDS and HIV.
He was able to get much information about HIV-AIDS. He interacted a lot with many patients and was also able to provide advisors to those who were seeking counseling.
He comes across a young woman who was in his middle twenty called Ntayi. The woman knew that she may have HIV-AIDS because her previous partner died from that epidemic. They had unprotected sex many times.
Ntayi the courageous woman went to see the counselor called Mr. Bean and ask her any questions she had because they were chance for her to fulfill or her dream because her days were counted. She looks at little bit tired and was wearing a long dress covering most part of her body: "I don't know the difference between AID and HIV?"
HIV is a virus that lives in blood, sperm and vaginal juices. HIV attack the immune system that protect our body from sickness. According to some research HIV cause AIDS still very few scientists who do not believe that HIV cause AIDS. What the many scientists confirm is that HIV cause AIDS.
"I don't understand what you called immune system?" Ntayi asked.
Immune system protects the body from getting sickness. When your immune system is weak you will start getting sick. Any disease may easily get you before your body ability to fight disease will be weaker. It is the same with the SIV in the monkey. Simian from SIV mean Monkey from Latino and HIV H meaning Human. The two words SIV and HIV have only one difference, Simian and Human.
This was one of the big discoveries for Mr. Kenny Bean.
Ntayi had a boyfriend who after many months sexual relationship get sick and passed away. Ntayi family and friends were not really aware of her state. For Ntayi it was the end of the World I was planning suicide but with the support and encouragement of many people who were infected like her she stop my bad thought. Still she didn't have hope to live for a long time. She felt weakness on my body, I didn't have a future to be like her parents and others people who are happily married and have children�
She turned to various volunteer counselors for help.
She had to take CD4 test. CD4 is the measuring how strong is your immune system. When your CD4 count slowly goes down means that your immune system is weak. Then they may put her on anti-retroviral treatment (ART). ART will slow down the HIV if you take the medicine properly your CD4 count will become high and your immune system gets stronger. Once your CD4 count goes high she may feel better. If your CD4 count is higher than 200, it is not necessary to take the ART treatment.
"If I feel better that mean HIV will disappear in body?" Ntayi wanted to know.
"No" Said the counsellor �there is no cure for HIV right now. Anti-retroviral treatment (ART) is not a cure of AIDS. It helps to make your immune system stronger so you can be healthy. It help also your body to fight off and prevent illness such us: pneumonia, TB and diarrhea."
"Thank you for your advice I really enjoy this session and I will keep coming back�"
Mr. Kenny Bean advises her to join a support group and there she will learn more about HIV and share of your problem with others. He advised her eat healthy food and exercise. This will keep your body and your mind stronger. Stop drinking and smoking .She must go for a regular check ups. Take also regular the CD4 count test. If you take the ART medicine too late you may be too sick and the medicine won't work properly.
This experience of making the body strong with wealthy food according to the unpublished Steve Rowan document. The monkey originated from Asia who eats bananas as their main food had developed a resistance and the SIV growth slow down.
Ntayi took the advice gave seriously and went for the CD4 test. They find that her CD4 were less than 200.
Her health become so critical, she was put on the anti-retroviral treatment (ART) but fail to recover. She developed an unstoppable TB.
The disease has brought fear in the community when someone is sick he suspects himself that he may be contaminated by the deadly disease. Every people around him think that he may have got what some people called mine. He has step on top of a mine.
It even takes a lot courage to wanting to go for test to know your status. Many people has seen their health deteriorated just by the stress of finding out that they got the deadly disease. Many people who has find out that they were HIV positive refuses to die alone and swore to spread the disease has much as possible.
The fear and anger had made this is more complicated than it is. It is known that this disease is not transmitted by simple interacting with the sick people but many people has lost the respect even their job just by being tested positive.
Ntayi has noticed that she started coughing a lot and some part of her body was swollen. She had first a cold shiver that went down to her spine. Her hair was disappearing until she decided to shave her head and she had shingles.
She has lost about fifty percentage of her weight.
Her granny has to change her sheets everyday because she used to wake up soaked everyday.
AIDS was a challenge for the granny, many granny who suppose to be resting were forced to look after they grand as the children�s parents die.
But despite the challenges Ntayi kept her beautiful smile and her brighten face.
Ntayi paternal uncle decided to take her at his witchdoctor. The witch doctors are the people heal people from witch craft. Witchcraft is people who send bad luck or disease to people. But a traditional doctor heals the patient without looking at the witch craft curse...
In the past people uses to go to the traditional medicine before heading for the modern medicine but in the recent times many people consult the traditional medicine after the modern medicine has failed to cure.
They uncle believed that jealous people or witches wanted to kill her because they were jealous of her. In many part of the continent HIV and many diseases are invented in the dark world by witches to kill people.
They went to see the witchdoctors who after a long session of prayers and ceremonial told them what he found: "�I have seen Ntayi mother of witch crafting her daughter. This disease is not a natural disease. It has some think to do with witchcraft. I saw Ntayi in the witchcraft pot. She is ready to be killed and eaten in the dark World�Please call Ntayi mother�"
Ntayi paternal uncle, Matombi rushed and went to call for Ntayi's mother without telling her what the prophet have told them.
Ntayi's mother accepted the invitation of the prophet. She was very upset and desperately wanted her daughter to get better. The prophet when he saw Ntayi's mother told her: "What are you doing to your daughter. She is here and may get better if your change her attitude toward her�"
Previously Ntayi had some social differences and clashes with her mother who claimed that her daughter was not respecting her�The mother looking at her daughter poor state apologized: "�I am very sorry for what happened between me and my daughter. I am very sorry what I want is to see my daughter in a good health�I am very sorry and apologize for our previous disagreement�"
The witchdoctor continued: "Your daughter recovering depends on you and only you."
Ntayi's mother Letty, was very sorry and apologized if may be her daughter still worrying about our pasts conflicts. Ntayi's mother felt Ntayi didn't understand her. As a mother had the right to educate her daughter. She wanted Ntayi to listen to my instructions. Now Ntayi's mother priority was to see her daughter healed.
Those apologizes Ntayi's mother was doing was interpreted and translated as a confession by the mother. For the prophet and the uncle she has admitted to be the cause of Ntayi disease and she is the witch. After the session Ntayi's uncle went to inform the paternal family that Ntayi's mother confessed and admitted to be a witch. She apologized and she is the one who want to kill her daughter.
Ntayi latter confessed to some member of the family members that she was HIV positive. The statement didn't bother her paternal family's member�From them the HIV or the disease was caused by witch craft and her mother was responsible.
The paternal family didn't attack immediately Ntayi's mother they kept the matter as a family secret and were convinced that after Ntayi's mother confession Ntayi will get better.
Letty, Ntayi's mother did only apologize to her daughter to boost her daughter moral to get better and recover from her disease. As all the mothers their priority may be see her child get better in this critical situation.
Unfortunately Ntayi didn't survive she died two days after the witchdoctor ceremony. Mr. Bean who had created a friendship with Ntayi was touched when he received the sad news. The former man in black experienced the death of an honest and courageous woman. He decided to attend the funeral of Ntayi the only way he could pay tribute to the woman who fights for survival. He was accompanied by his friend Edmond and Doctor Mazibuko who was Ntayi doctor.
They arrived at the burial little bit late when the pastor was at the end of preaching. There were some 100 people at the burial and 90 peoples were paternal and maternal family's members. Most of the people were wearing black clothes.
In the past a funeral used to be a important ceremony to respect the loved one who has left. But lately, the African's culture of respecting death was disappearing in the big town. The funerals look more like a fashion's show.
The preacher was concluding his predication: "Brother and sisters today we are witnessing the passing away of our beloved one."
The preacher encouraged the desperately mourners that everybody without any exception will die. He told her that people must prepare their after life from now: you may be a doctor, a jobless, rich, poor�you will end up in the tomb. This rule don't have any exception in the African tradition they says there is no equality on the earth but the only equality is death. Human were made from dust and they will return to dust.
"Sister Ntayi has just taken the early journey and we will join her too." The preacher said "We are all approaching our death days�Brother and sister let prepare our after death now God may call us even after this funeral. You may walk and collapse and die. You may meet any kind of accident�Death is our destiny without exception."
They sang some sad songs reserved for funeral event. After the funeral when everybody were preparing to leave the cemetery. Ntayi paternal uncle attacked Ntayi's mother: "�You see now. You must be happy of killing your daughter. I decided to keep the matter as a secret because I was sure that you will save your daughter. Witch, you apologized without preventing my niece death�"
Ntayi was amazed to be called in public for a witch while she has just lost her daughter: "I am not a witch."
"Woman, you confessed to be a witch now that you had eaten my niece in the dark World you try to deny now. I am telling you will vomit my niece alive now not tomorrow."
The poor woman was trying to understand what Ntayi's uncle meant: "What are you talking about?"
The paternal uncle slaps Letty, Ntayi's mother. When one of Ntayi's mother brothers saw the incident he attacked the paternal uncle: "Why did you slap my sister in a group of people�Why did you humiliate my sister in public as if she doesn't have a family�"
"You, your sisters and your family are all witches. You must be glad of eating my niece in your witch World and now you ironically you event attend the funeral."
"I will never forgive for this insult toward my family."
The traditional doctors were loosing respect in the community because many fake traditional doctors� has ruined that profession. They often refuse to accept that there are certain diseases that they cannot cure. Even the modern medicine admits that there are unable to cure all the disease especially if it reaches a certain stage.
For some it becomes a way of making money from the desperate patients who are ready to pay and listen to whatever they may say. They knew how to take advantage of the desperate people. Just few rotten potatoes were rotting the good potatoes in the bag.
They started fighting then the other member of all the two families: maternal and paternal come to reinforce their respective side. The fight becomes so big that before the arrival of the securities to stop the fight. Punches and projectiles were thrown from every side and all corners even some non members of the family were injured.
The security arrived and they fight couldn't stop. They fire in the air some bullets to separate both side and calm the situation. Mr. Kenny Bean, his friend and many non member of the family were not injured. In the family member many were slightly injured but four members were seriously injured and were rushed to hospital.
When the situation was normalized. Letty, Ntayi's mother who had a knock her had was weeping and explaining: "�How can I kill a child that I bear in my stomach for 9 months? I grow her up until she becomes a woman. Why I didn't kill her when she was a child? All those years I took care of her why can I turn to a witch today? I never confessed about being a witch, I only apologized to please my daughter to boost her moral. I loved my daughter I wanted her to live regardless our differences. We all have problems with our children in their teens�I wanted her to listen to my instructions like every parents�"
Her member of her family supported her: "�She is not a witch."
Who invented witch stories? While Letty's family was on her side "My sister never kill no one, she is a very caring woman who stand by her daughter side until she died" They were very angry of the humiliation's accusation. "We will fight the false prophet. A God's man does not separate family but unifies family. Those stories of witchcraft stories are Satan"
It was why many people don't believe in the prophecies of a witchcraft. Many prophets have separated families and communities with witchcraft stories. "We will confront the prophet and any one who contributed to humiliation of our cousin." Letty cousin's swore.
Matombi and Ntayi, paternal uncle who believed in the witchcraft doctor statement insisted after being wounded on the fight: "You have killed my niece and even eat her in your darkest World." Ironically she tried to claim her innocence in showing them her tears. "Your tears are similar to crocodile tears after hurting the community. Ntayi's mother is trying to hide her confession. She confessed to the prophet how she wanted to kill my niece now she is trying to hide what she said. My niece was a much disciplined woman who had social and moral values"
The paternal Ntayi's family member supported the statement: "Ntayi was a good innocent woman who is killed by witch from her maternal family."
"We will fight until the all truth is out." Ntayi's uncle vowed "Our niece died prematurely, she have a lot to offer to the World�We won't leave this matter unsolved all those witch will pay for eating in witch World the beautiful woman."
Ntayi uncles took the responsibility because unfortunately her father was not alive and they felt they had to take that responsibility. Most often the paternal and the maternal families had many differences in this continent. It was difficult to see those two families getting a long so well.
As usual family's member hides the AIDS disease and most of the time they talk about other disease to protect the patient and family image. For many AIDS was punishment to those who are not faithful and have a bad moral�
And then doctor Mazibuko got angry with all the statements intervene. He was the doctor of the disease for more than 5 years. He was the man who diagnosed her, the man who help her with the modern medicine, and the man who recommended her to take some counseling too.
For many people AIDS was a sickness of shame. A taboo subject. Of bad moral and many people never want to reveal their status:
"I am Ntayi Doctor." Mazibuko said "I had many sessions with Ntayi she was diagnostic as a HIV-AIDS patient. She even went for anti-retroviral treatment (ART) where come from witchcraft in this disease we have to concentrate on how to prevent more casualties with this disease that is revenging the World"
One member of the paternal family said: "Ntayi was witchcraft with AIDS. The sorcerer and witch have send AIDS to kill our beloved one. Some AIDS case is from witchcraft practices�"
Someone once told him that you will never talk about the African tradition without mentioning witchcraft. It was so common in all the Bantu or African�s culture under many forms. Even thought it was really a difficult phenomenon to explain or even understand.
Mr. Kenny Bean and his friend were left astonished by the incident as Ntayi doctor's was furious to the witchcraft stories:
"Tell me before AIDS become known witchcraft existed long time before AIDS." Mazibuko said "Witchcraft existed many centuries ago but that time witches were not sending AIDS to kill peoples why they send in this generation AIDS to kill peoples?"
Mazibuko a very respect doctor with many years of experience wasn't happy to hear people who were not even traditional doctors to confront him on this subject. He felt that his profession was invaded. While some people kept defending the witchcraft: "You are not an African to understand and you will never understand African witchcraft. The witches use the currents disease to kill victims. Witches kill everybody: parents, children, cousins�You don't have to ask the why and how because you will never understand."
The security personal asked everybody to leave the cemetery to avoid the renewal of the conflict of the two families. Many peoples didn't even know the cause of the death of Ntayi. They left the cemetery full of confusions. Many learned that she had HIV-AIDS, family members keep secret the truth to protect their image. The others blame witches for the death of Ntayi.
At their return from the cemetery Dr. Edmond decided to phone Mr. Kenny Bean's wife to know what she is up with and specially to try to stop her from seeing another man. The former man in black was not interested in saving his marriage. He was more interested to his AIDS reports. He was busy writing all he saw, heard and witness.
Dr Edmond kept secret about the plane crash survival of Mr. Kenny Bean: "�Mrs. Bean I still very upset about my friend premature death, I heard that you sued his news agency for sending him to Africa. I cannot believe that my friend have passed away, I still not realizing the departure of Mr. Kenny Bean. I hope that we may see him again in our after life�"
"You really feel what I feel. I couldn't believe for about 2 days that my husband was gone" Kerry said "�I sued his news agency because when Mr. Kenny Bean was realized from the prison. They were looking for a way to get ride of him."
She believed they send him in Africa far from her home while they were many reporters in UK and in Africa to cover the World epidemic. But the agency wanted to help him to finish what he started with the professor Rowan William's controversial documents. Kerry Hilton believed the agency invented a mission to let him go and get ride of her.
She insisted in telling Edmond: �They must be happy now that the man that they were sending in Africa temporary will now live there permanently without the chance of return." Benjamin, Mr. Kenny Bean 's brother have been helping her in all these issues. She was not appreciating the fact that the press is following all her moves and plans lately "Mr. Bean is gone they must leave me alone too."
Edmond the accomplices of Mr. Kenny Bean to hide his identity laughed for a while trying to comfort her the same time: "What do you still think of your future now that your husband his gone?"
"I really loved Mr. Kenny Bean. I loved him once and I will always love him. He will remind in my life forever."
She was finding a way to try to forget Mr. Kenny Bean. For her to forget him was to move on with my life. She was developing a love and was attracted by a mystery man that she didn't want to tell Edmond Mr. Kenny Bean best friend yet. She said that her husband was gone and will never come back again.
Mr. Kenny Bean�s friend was shocked to learn that his friend's wife wants to move on with her life. While his friend is alive and doesn't want her wife to know: "I understand you and respect your decision move on."
He claims to have finalized the long divorcing process to his wife. He was looking for someone who he may trust. It is now very difficult for him to trust any woman. He may say that he still traumatized by the events that led us to the separation. He knew Kerry better than any one alive because her former husband has died and he was the only good friend to the defunct husband. He remembered when she started their relationship with Mr. Bean. Edmond was the only one who used to be their medium man. Edmond insisted: "Now I think of making a future with you�Please don't rush to jump in another relationship I will come so we may talk more about this subject"
The woman was quiet for some time without responding to Edmond. He wondered what was in the mind of the woman.
"When are you coming?"
"Just wait a little while" Edmond said "I may come in very few months�Let me say that definitely in two months�"
"Two months is a lot" Edmond said "I am a human I think that the sooner is the better."
"I am will call you soon to let you know" Edmond said "You may call me too why must I keep calling you every time."
With the powerful the Pound money is compare to Rand money. That means it is much cheaper to call from South Africa rather than calling from the UK. The international call is more expensive the other side of the continent.
"But a sacrifice to call a friend will be high appreciated"
After Edmond put down the phone handle after a successful and good talk with Kerry Hilton.
He turned to Mr. Kenny Bean after the phone call and told the busy man who were writing his articles: "I told you that you may loose your wife with your hiding attitude"
"I don't care now." the reporter said "If she is meant to leave him she will leave me�My work come first." All those months and time he always left her, she never leaves him. But that was different to the actual situation. In the past, he was alive even thought he was not in contact with his wife. This time, he was confirmed dead.
There is a time when people become so obsess with the job that he becomes a main priority ahead of the family.
Family supposed to be a priority to many people because people work for their family�s survival.
"I am coming with a very good strategy to save your marriage" But Edmond couldn't understand his best friend and asked "Tell me did you really loved your wife? You may keep secret to everybody but not your wife Mr. Kenny Bean."
"I know what I am doing" the reporter said "The women are very emotional and may jeopardize my plan."
CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE RETURN OF MR. KENNY BEAN
At work everybody were wondering who is really Mr. Kenny Bean who was trying to hide his past. They kept asking some questions about his pasts. He was less talkative to avoid long chart with other volunteer�s counselors.
They have been a number of generous people who has decided to be volunteers and assist sick people even thought they were not getting the much needed recognition. They were not like many of the stars who will assist people for few hours for the camera and get good recognition and reputation.
Not like politician who comes to abuse people�s when they need to be voted.
The reason behind this motivation was that he met his British neighbor in a mall.
The neighbor who was in holiday in South Africa. The neighbor saw him from far and was wondering. "�This man look like my neighbor in London: Mr. Bean�He looks very familiar to me�This cannot be true�There are very few peoples who have a similar character to Mr. Bean. No this is Mr. Kenny Bean he walk, talk, move like my neighbor�Even the gesture�Let me approach him�"
He remembered an African proverb saying that. �It only mountains who do not meet but people always meet" some say that: �the world is very small�
Mr. Kenny Bean was very cautious in all he was doing saw his man coming and tried to hide in the full of shoppers. His neighbor was also determined to meet him and be reassured of the man. Mr. Kenny Bean tried again to enter in a super market but the man kept following him. He only managed to escape when he entered the mall's toilet.
This was a wake up call for Kenny Bean to return home. Time has come to resume his reports in Africa, time has come for Bean to stop living in this self made prison and time has come to conquer and regain his freedom. He cannot keep hiding from his identity; It would be stupid if they catch his hiding his identity. It was time to surrender: at work they still asking many questions about his pasts. In streets his was walking like someone who is hiding from the justice system. He was unlucky that his neighbor didn't approach him but the danger has been not yet over�
He reported to his best friend, Edmond what have happened in the mall and his final strategy he was trying to come up with "�The neighbor kept following me in the mall. I only escaped when I entered in the toilet�"
�You will never hide the truth forever." His friend responded.
Edmond was happy that Mr. Kenny Bean decided by himself to quick resume his project and return to his family as soon as possible. He almost lost his life and the lover of his life too. If I did come with the strategy to hold her and promise her to marry her she could be in another man's arms�
He insisted. "Forgive all the people who you think have trapped you and wanted to get rid of you. It this time of forgiveness�"
He decides to write last report before he returns home.
The drama of a young pastor called Ngoma. A 29 years old pastor who had just completed his theological training.
He had a series of diseased and got worried he decided to undergo an HIV-AIDS test. He never thought that he may be HIV positive.
He went first to a private clinic for the test. When the doctor called him telling him that he wanted to see him in person to give him the result. He thought that the must be something wrong.
This is not good news for Ngoma. He wondered why the doctor wanted to see me personally to tell me the result. From that moment he started worrying. He hoped that I am HIV negative. For him it was a shame in the community and church if I am positive. He said to himself that if it happened that he is HIV positive he will kill myself instead of living in shame. It could have been a big blow for his future: no children because they may die from AIDS and no woman of his choice will accept me in marriage with that status. He swore to revenge and not dies alone.
He kept is cool and went to see the doctor. The doctor let him wait for about one hour to meet him. When he entered the doctor's office. He noticed before the doctor speaks to him a very sad attitude and he knew that he was HIV positive. "�It is life�We are all born to die�It may be difficult for you but no one in this World is 100% healthy. We all have some few anomalies in our body. You told me that you are a pastor?"
The new pastor saw something coming. "Yes, I am a pastor�I just completed my studies and I am a bread winner for all my family �"
Ngoma's family didn't have doctors, engineers or high educated people in my family. He was the one who may pay tertiary schools for my young brothers and sister. To make the matter worst he was the first born of my big family of 6 children �"You know is not the end of the World because�You may still live for more than 15 years�" The counselor told him.
He angrily asked the doctor." Tell me what is wrong? Am I positive?"
"I am afraid yes but�"
The young pastor gets little bit furious with the delay of getting his test result from the doctor. He concluded that he was HIV positive. "How come, you may have made a mistake in mixing my blood with other patients�Tell me that you are wrong�"
The medical professional never does those kinds of mistake often in giving the wrong result. This wasn't the end of the World; he could have still live for many years. Ngoma was a pastor but you are a human been too. May be he didn't contracted the disease from sex. There are many ways of getting AIDS. The HIV or the monkey SIV virus can be passed from a person who has it to another person if they share the same needles and syringes that are not properly cleaned. It is why scientist still believed that the Monkey SIV entered human by blood contact and adapted to the new environment human body.
It can also be passed on if they both have a cut or an open wound and their blood get mixed. Sick people may be given extra blood transfusion�
"As far I may recall my past I never find myself in those cases�" Ngoma complained.
"May be you had some unprotect sex in your teen�AIDS have been existing for many years. I was only in the early eighties that it started getting popular�"
"This is real crazy the must be a mistake�"
He angrily left the doctor's office. He was like dreaming in his way back home. Then suddenly he feels this desperate thought and sit on a ground started crying and wondering:
Ngoma hoped that he was dreaming. He didn't want to be an HIV positive patient. He wondered who have given me this disease. He concluded that a woman can spread the disease in him under a revenge form. He wasn't bisexual or gay to blame men. He recalled not having perfuse with blood for many years and didn't recall any event where he shared razor or needle with someone else. He only had a sexual relationship with one church going woman who has a very good moral.
He confessed in the church community of being tempted by the devil and was pardoned by the elders and he dignity was restored.
But he met before a widow with 3 children, she was 15 years old than him. There was no need to be called in the disciplinary committee and confess and ask for forgiveness because the secret was safe and no one found out.
He has just completed his training and he was well respected in the church. Many women adored him and wanted and dreamed to marry me�
He tried to comfort himself at the same time. "�I know what I are going trough. I am courageous to go for an HIV too because many people scared to undergo the HIV test. I know that I had fooled around with many women in the past. I am not alone there are more than 4 millions peoples who has the same disease in all Africa�I have to be strong I Have to go in my room and sleep. Time will heal me, I understand and there are many people in the same situation too�"
He get courage and went in his flat. He tried to sleep without success. He cried for many hours until he get tired�He decided to kill himself.
He first took many medicines and put in a milk glass to kill himself. Then a second thought come "�The doctor said that you may live for many years. Who will pay school fees for my young brothers and sisters�It may take them only 5 years to complete their tertiary studies�"
Then he took the self made poison glass of milk and throws it away.
After again two hours. The bad thought came in his mind:
Then the suicide thought re emerged in his mind to avoid a humiliation. He wanted to confront the disease before the disease confronts him. It will be useless when he will get thin and refused to be carried to the toilet like a baby. With his profession he refused to allow this humiliation. He decided to kill himself with a gun. He felt that as a pastor he will be mockery at and humiliated for being an HIV positive. A disease known as caused by immorality. A disease caused for being a womanizer. A Casablanca, as their surnamed womanizers...
He took and put on his head and did a short prayer: "God were are you?"
He hesitated; take off the gun on his head then
He took the gun again and fills the bullet then put on his head, then another thought come into his mind. "�I am a pastor God may make a miracle and heal me from the disease�I have prayed for many people who were instantly healed and cured. This is only a temptation of demons that I often chase have come to play with me. May be the result are wrong. May be the testing machines are out of order�"
He stopped from ending his life with the gun. At around four hours in the morning after a short sleep he wakes up. He decided to jump from the sixth floors were he was living. He opens the window and analyzed. "What is the use of living now. I HIV may develop rapidly in my body in only few months and I may have AIDS�It will be a shame to my family, church and all the pastors in the World�Let me only jump to end this humiliating life�"
He got ready putting all his feet on the window ready to jump then another thought come in his mind. This is not the right decision. It will still a double shame on my dead body the will find out that I have committed suicide after I find out my state of my body. It will be a double shame as the journalists will report on Television and radios that an HIV positive pastor has ended his life �This is not a solution. I can see all the news paper will report in headlines: A young pastor have committed suicide�
He stops his attempt of committing suicide again�He got sleep early in the morning. He didn't attend the morning service at the church he only notified them that he was sick. Then continued his sleep�
He decided to challenge the result of the test to undergo a second test to a governmental institution. He went to were Mr. Kenny Bean have been working as a volunteer. The result was again positive, he accepts to undergo a counseling session to try to find a way to extend his life. He met Mr. Kenny Bean. "�I don't still believe that I am an HIV positive man. I don't want to jump in anti-retroviral treatment (ART). I am sure that my CD4 still high than 200. But I want to leave on healthy food. What can I eat to live longer?"
They gave him a brochure and read for some few minutes:
The document was written for the HIV patient.
You may eat healthy food to make your body stronger to fight the sickness in delaying his development. You have to eat different kind of food: fruit and vegetables, Beans, lentils, meats, chickens, fish, milk, eggs, maize or yogurt, brown bread, brown rice, pap samp, butter, oil, peanut butter, nuts�In short you have to eat a selective different foods drink water and rooisbos rather than cold drinks. You may prepare your own fresh food rather than buying meals or take away to save money. Lentils, beans and soya mince are cheaper than meat and chicken. If you cannot afford fruit eat more vegetables�
For Mr. Kenny Bean this document helped him to compare the SIV and HIV. Most of wealthy food were vegetarian regime and the monkeys eat plenty of vegetable: beans, lentils, peanuts, nuts, Pap samp was made of maize was of the most eaten food by the Chimpanzee, milk for the babies monkeys.
It was one of reason he admitted that human and Monkeys has a lot in common and shared many things in common. "I will try to live on those foods that you have mentioned. I am still fighting to have a positive attitude. I tried many times to have a positive attitude�"
Ngoma went on reading the other page of the brochure:
A positive attitude will help you to delay the development of the disease, it is very important to have a positive attitude. You have to avoid worries. You may do so by avoiding stress too. This will help you too not just eating healthy food�
In the unpublished part of the document of Professor Steve Rowan. He mentioned that a SIV Chimpanzee who developed stress in Congo after a miscarriage died sooner as expected because of the stress. The other male Chimpanzee who lived much longer with the SIV virus lived for many years because he never developed stress. He was the mate of the female Chimpanzee. The death of his lovers upset him only for few days; he has other two females� lover with him.
Ngoma confessed what he was going true. "I sincerely hope that I will succeed. The matter becomes little bit complicated when I am alone at night. I have all the bad ideas existing in this World�I really appreciate this session. Thank you for the advises�"
When leaving the counselor office, he seems to have regain confidence and didn't seems being up to something.
They talked a lot and took each others addresses and contact numbers.
When the pastor called Ngoma returned the night he had other thought that controlled his destiny. This time he was not worrying about the suicide thought but a revenge one. "�Because of a 5 minutes pleasure I have to deal with a life time challenge."
Because of a short period sexual act I will be humiliated for all his life. He felt that all life have changed because of this disease. What a mess especially as a pastor. What people will say? He felt that he won�t be respected no more; he used to advise peoples to live a clean life. He used to tell young people to stay away from prostitution. He won't be respected and be a role model to the young in the church. He cried. "I am finish I may even loose my dream preacher job�"
Those unstoppable thought brought in him a revenge plan. "I have to punish the one who have ended my life, reputation and my future. My all plan for the future what I need to live if I don't have a future? I will revenge before I die I am a walking corpse and I am not shamed to get rotted any more�"
He look at in mid all the women he sleep with in his entire life. "I slept with Suzanna tree years back. I used condom in our sexual activities."
He recalled all his past sexual life.
He had slept a lot with that choral girl but we used condoms. He only had an unprotected sex with sister Dolly who is 15 years old than him with 3 children. �She may have transmitted AIDS to me. She has infected me and must pay.� The church servant regretted.
But he noticed that none of her children his HIV positive all her children are healthy. May be she was infected after giving birth to those children. He was sure that she is the only one who may have infected me. Surely she knew that she was HIV positive and come to seduce me and kill him in this misery way. She revenged on him. He was not the one who may infected Dolly.
He concluded. "I am not the one who infected her. God why she must revenge on me an innocent pastor? I will make her pay�"
Two thought were fighting in his mind: the good and the bad, Positive and Negative thoughts, angelic and satanic thought.
Early in the morning the pastor went to buy an axe and a spot bag. He put the axe in the bag and went to Dolly's house. What he was thinking was only one think. "�She has revenge on me in seducing me. I am not the one who approached her �I cannot sleep with an old woman. She revenges on me an innocent pastor in approaching me. I am not the one who infected her�She will pay and this will be a lesson to everybody who infect other innocent citizen. I will make a history today�"
The clergy was a very committed to his job and couldn�t revenge like many people sometime revenge in spreading the disease around so many people will follow him in the tomb even when his gone.
But there was plenty of ways to revenge in life.
He arrived at the woman house. As usually the Dolly Suzanna who is the member of her church welcome her in her house. "�Pastor you are early today. Are you from the gym?"
"I decided to pay you an early visit today."
"That very good. That means you really care about us."
"It is my job to care about all the sisters and brother in the church."
"Pastor, can I make you a cup of coffee? All my children went to school."
"Thank you sister. I am alright; I just came to pray for you."
"I am coming pastor allow me to finish to swept the children room."
"I am waiting."
The woman went to sweep her children room and returned after 30 minutes. All the children went to school that time. She told the pastor. "Thank you for coming to bless me early in the morning. I will start my day full of blessings�"
The woman kneed down next to the pastor to be blessed. She closed her eyes as the pastor was praying in tongue. "�.prr prr trr mrr drr frr srr frr grr drr srr. Marabo bashada meridi konte sinhi. Kirri maro muda sinte pratasinto shindara..."
What ever what the spiritual language means the woman praised God: �Alleluia�
He opened his bag and took the axe and then strongly hit the woman neck and cut her head off.
Many neighbors and people were at work. Then he slowly put back the axe in the sport bag and went to report his crime to the police.
This was only the few example of the reaction of some people who react when they learn about they HIV positive status.
The former man in black this time could attend the funeral but this time was attending the most controversial court case. He left the unfinished matter as they postponed the case.
Mr. Kenny Bean sitting on a chair wearing his black suit next to Laptop he find the meaning of the formula that he was looking for many years. Prison, planes crash, the watchman job, the counselor job...helped him in that step to discover the meaning of that formula.
The sad news is that from the formula to his news life, they had one thing in common never being completed.
He had to tell his best friend Edmond his sudden change in his program. "�My friend, I am very thankful for all the opportunities you have given, you gave me all the basic necessaries, you introduced me to the counseling body, and you help me in keeping the biggest secret of my life and save my marriage. I think is time for me and you to regain freedom."
He wanted to complete his job but he had to stop now because, they may find my true identity soon than expected. He wanted to fly back tomorrow to surprise my wife. It will be Kerry Hilton's birthday tomorrow, she will turn 38 years old. He has many reports from this continent: The airplane crash, the life with bushmen, the train story, security story and the current affair: AIDS. He wanted to exploit the all continent to pursue the AIDS report to Zambia, Uganda, Nigeria�But He has to end the mission soon as expected like professor Steve Rowan's famous and the most world wanted formula: ABC+D(h2O.
This was a good news to his friend, specially to reserve a gift to his wife of being alive. "Time as come to return home. Your wife is turning 38 years?"
"Yes, she is turning 38 years old tomorrow."
Dr Edmond has to recall the life of Mr. Kenny Bean and Kerry Hilton:
The years were flying. He still has her image when she was young and fresh on the street of London. He even realized by the phone that she has matured in voice. Bean, you didn't have to thank Edmond, he was the man closest in Edmond's family. They grow up together; they did all the adventures together. Bean's house was Edmond's house, Edmond�s parents and Kenny Bean's parents use to call them twins brothers.
It will be happy if he returns tomorrow to surprise your wife on her birth days but Mr. Bean wanted you to return and complete your work. He was not only an undercover journalist reporter but he swore to help also the community to work as a volunteer. Africa is not only South Africa. He has to visit countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia, Malawi, Uganda, Ethiopia, and many countries. Africa is the continent that has the most countries 52 up to date to see the true continent and the challenge that face people because of poverty. AIDS is not an African sin it is just a disease like many diseases.
Mr. Bean confessed. "I will never forget my trip to Africa."
He have been many places and he thought that his trip in the Amazon in the South America Brazil was his best trip of all the time He just realized that Africa was far the best trip of his life. He lived with indigenous in South America but he lived with the bushman in Africa. There were his best friends. They saved me from the burning plane, the feed me and heal me without any charge. They show me the true love. He went to Windhoek were I lean the man hardship, the adventure of looking after the rich man house, the passion and the love of my work bring me here in South Africa without interrupting his work process. He met many friends in here, he saw and witness what the AIDS epidemic in Brazil and now he witnessed it in Africa. He didn't read on the magazines or newspapers but he witnesses the gravity of the epidemic. It is different to hear from the radio, see from the TV and read from the newspapers but living with it is another experience. He saw the misery that the disease has brought in many African families. He saw the mystery behind that disease. He witnesses the challenges and how desperate people want the cure. If only the world could get a rapid cure to this disease, he will be one the biggest gift received from God. His mission is not complete, AIDS do not exist only in South Africa, they are many country hit by this disease in Africa. He wanted in his return to Africa go deep in this big continent, in Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Congo and Nigeria the most populated country in Africa. Then I go to Asia to continue my research on this epidemic.
He discovered AIDS exist in all the countries in Africa and all the countries in the World. They were no safe heaven for AIDS. Few were infected but everybody were affected.. As a reporters and journalists he had the right to warn all the people of the world of this epidemic and pandemics. Africa has a whole have been hit by many disasters. Slavery, colonialism, internal war and now all the African countries and the world have a common enemy: AIDS. Many innocent children suffer because of their premature death of their parents. The epidemic and pandemic if is not stop now, it may reach an uncontrollable dimension. We all have the assignment to fight the disease in all our different careers.
Edmond encouraged his friend not to stop spreading the world on this new fight. "I may use my capacity as a medical dentist to educate the people and you may use your reporter career to put a specific accent to the danger of the disease. AIDS do not have barriers or frontiers; he does not choose according race, genre, income or environment. Please go there and show the way to prevent the disease."
MR. Kenny Bean covered many stories in the passed but this is the most important one because the future of the next generation depends on our actual energy and effort to stop the spread of the disease not only in Africa but in the entire world.
He covered stories about wars but many wars ended. He covered many stories on cases, the cases ended too and he decided to return to cover more about the epidemic to try to end the disease.
He decided to complete his job to Congo and Angola to see the Ebola epidemic too, unfortunately for the report the disease come and in few weeks disappear. Fortunately that Ebola it disappear quick. Ebola is far more dangerous that AIDS. AIDS kill after days and years but Ebola kills in hours and spread just by a simple contact with the sick this virous do not have ARV treatment and is not transmitted sexually but transmitted by a simple contact with the sick man.
"Tell me are you scared of flying again?" Edmond asked:
"I am not scared of flying anymore."
When he took the plane to Johannesburg from Windhoek, he was little bit afraid but he just realized that accident is a part of life in the new civilization. They make many accidents on the roads than in the planes. The plane accident is very rare and he felt safer traveling by plane than cars. What happens was just one normal accident in millions of traveling planes. "I am happy to hear how strong you get after the plane crush. I will wait to see some stories in your reports."
"I will talk about my all journey in Africa include the story of the plane crash, the bushman, my adventure in Windhoek, my friend Ntayi and the pastor Ngoma. It said that I have to leave the pastor court case to wish my most important woman in my life happy birthday."
It was Saturday 11 September, that the English reporter was leaving the continent.
Before heading for the airport to catch is plane. He went first to the church to thank God and say a good bye to the continent he loved in the past few months.
He found in the church a Massachusetts educated preacher tackling the same controversial subject. It was also a advantage for the reporter to listen the Bible say on this topic. People on street called it a disease sent by God to punish human from their immorality.
The big pastor standing in front was talking about the most talked subject of this era. Good coincidence to complete the reporter article:
Beating AIDS is not beating death. HIV the disease that cause AIDS. AIDS is a collection of diseases that are acquired from HIV once the immune system is no longer able to protect the body from illness.
The disciple of Jesus Christ asked of the conclusion of the system of things in Matthew 24:3. Jesus answered by saying nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be great earthquakes and in one place after another pestilences. The Bible talks of deadly plague in revelation 6:8.
There was a form of a epidemic in the past called the Spanish flu during the great war renamed the world war one. It was the start of the fulfillment of the prophesies regarding the last day. The fulfillment of the prophecies involves pestilence and deadly plague. The majority of people who died from Spanish flu were aged between 20 and 40 like AIDS does today.
The pandemic started in March 1918. Many investors trace it originated from the stated of Kansas. And spread to France and many part of the world. The life expectancy in United State dropped by over 10 years in 1918. The Influenza spread to Western Samoa now called Samoa. Within two months about 20 % of that population in that time died about 38 302 people. In total it estimated that in one year about 20 millions people died from this disease while AIDS exist for more than 20 years and killed about 20 millions peoples.
The deadly virus hit hard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the city had shortage of coffins. The Spanish influenza killed more American in about one year than people who died in both world war battles. It was the most devastating pandemic in history of man kind.
That virus reproduced faster than the AIDS virus. Another virus who appears in this continent called Ebola. It appeared in Congo and Angola. Some isolated cases were found in few African countries developing much faster than AIDS virus. But it killed less people.
AIDS is not the only pandemic to have existed into this world. May be other dangerous may appear in future. Our prospect for a healthy future may not seem bright. However the Bible also gives us hope. For example, God made a promise to Noah and his family before the global flood. First he warned Noah and urged him to build a ark. In Genesis 6:13 and 14 and in genesis 7:1. When the ark was completed, the survivors were carried safely through the water.
Those who trust God as Noah did have the prospect of surviving a vast destruction. Look in Luke 17: 26 and 27.
John an apostle of Jesus wrote: "the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever."
They have been many other dangerous circumstances that the world is facing. Those who arrives without warning sometimes and that human�s been policies has no control. Such as the natural disaster: �the Tsunami, the volcanic dilemma, the earth quakes, the flooding, the Hurricane�
In revelation 21:3 and 4 it is written: God will reside with them, and they will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
If you learn God and come to trust in him fully, you have a bright future ahead of you. And pestilence will be gone forever.
Mr. Kenny Bean had to leave the church before the conclusion of the message but he got the most important part. He was expecting the preacher like people on street talking about a punishment to unmorally.
He learnt that AIDS is not only the only disease that killed many people in the world. He was afraid that another disease may take over one day.
He decided to wears traditional African clothes with plenty of colorful beds in it with sandals on his return to London. He decided to wish her wife happy anniversary in returning home on her birthday.
But before heading for his house. He decided to head first to his box office. The postal mails were important to him. After loosing everything into his plane he saved the laptop and some cards in his pocket and a small postal key.
His reason to fly the 11September because it coincidence with his wife birthday but there was another reason to fly this date. To remember the September 11 where 3 000 peoples died by the hijacked airplanes. He wanted to kill also the fear to travel by airplane. It was a special day and memorable day.
He has the same procedure each time he returns to England he goes to the post office first.
While the taxi driver was waiting for his client. Mr. Kenny Bean was sorting out the mails and throwing away in the dusty post the pamphlets.
He kept hundred of letters on his box but he got another shocking letter, similar to Prof. Steve Rowan. A big mail with a warning: "secret of the world". This didn't have a no opening warning.
He decided to open the mail before he got into the taxi.
The letter didn't have a sender name, it was from a unanimous.
But the title was disturbing." Origin of AIDS". A reader of the document Mr. Bean published has his version of origin of AIDS.
The mail had only four pages. And the author of the letter was attacking Prof. Steve's theory.
It is a shame that Steve is insulting the Bible's origin of human. The Bible has thought us that God created human on his image. There is no link between human and monkeys. No animals virus will survive in human's body.
But Mr. Kenny Bean wondered if really this writer. If he hasn't heard about the mad cow disease or the bird flu symptom? But decided to continue to read the letter:
You have insulted God's intelligent. AIDS is an invented virus by follow human.
It is a revenge or vengeance from the Japanese. The syndrome was meant to kill American. The syndrome was developed in Japanese laboratory.
Mr. Kenny Bean laughed. He was laughing because he heard those theories from people of streets. He wanted something with a scientific definition like Professor Steve Rowan. But he decided to read the funny letter.
AIDS was invited by the Japanese inventor Yoshi Suzuki. It was to revenge the American Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan after the World war two. Hundred of thousands of people died and Yoshi lost all the members of his family.
He injected the virus into four beautiful Japanese women: Song Tae Chon, Lee Sam Yoo, Takeda Hiroko and Eiko Sugihara. They are the first terrorist because they knew the deadly virus effect but decided to revenge the Japanese defeat in other form.
They are the Kamikaze of death.
They went to USA and spread the disease but they weren't aware that the virus will spread in all the world. The world is suffering from the miscalculation of Yoshi's invented virus.
The first thing that comes in Mr. Kenny Bean's mind was. "If the Japanese theory is a reality. If really a human invented the virus why do they don't cure it?"
While trying to finish the angry letter. He heard the taxi driver impatiently hooting and calling for Mr. Bean to get aboard of the taxi.
He rejected immediately this theory and sticking to Steve' Monkey's theory. Then he rushed into the taxi. But highlight into his agenda to further more researches on this Yoshi�s Japanese vengeance suspicions, he heard it twice may be there is no smoke without fire.
He safely arrived at his home in London in the evening.
They were many people attending his wife anniversary. He knocked at her door. When they open the door, everybody instead of welcoming him back was all running away:
With the unusual African traditional clothes with plenty of beds in his body he appears like an extra terrestrial as party celebration turned into a drama. "A ghost."
"A ghost."
"Mr. Kenny Bean has resuscitate."
"This is the end of the World."
The former man in black tried in vain to calm the public. "�I am Mr. Kenny Bean the missing England corpses of the plane accident in Africa �I am the Mr. Kenny Bean the missing man in action �I am back"
When people�s die people mourn the loss but when he returns even after hearing those cries of his beloved one, no one want him back, they refuses his return to life and call him a �ghost�.
His wife latter recalled all the event before coming to him. "�I prayed God to do a miracle when my husband body was not found in the mortuary�They have been a missing body�The later find two survivors and one was missing�The daily sun report on the possibility of Mr. Kenny Bean being alive. My husband best friend promised me to marry me and promised to wait for a while may be he was trying to save my marriage�This is not a ghost. Thank you God my pray have been answered."
Unfortunately the party was over and Mrs. Bean received her most precious gift that money cannot buy the return of her husband.
The formula left by Steve rowan was published in the new paper. After the reporter survived the plane crash and decided to stay for a while in Africa to have a clear view of the disease.
Everybody was expecting the reporter to explain the definition of ABC+D. That was the main focus and expectation of everybody.
He decided not to disappoint the public expectation and called for a media conference. The interviewer has become the interviewed. The conference room was packed with about 150 journalists all eager to understand the formula. That incomplete formula was viewed as a cure to the pandemic AIDS.
He started by introducing the subject of the day:
I learnt from the best. The best is my hero Steve Rowan. Steve had decided not to hide the research secret and choose me to pass the message to you. Steve Rowan may have died but his works still live with us.
AIDS is not a horror movie said Steve in one of his letter to me. It is a reality. There is no safe place for AIDS few may be infected but we are all affected. AIDS is not a death sentence. They will still death with or without AIDS. The influenza called Spanish flu may be forgotten today but many people died in one single year. The world could still experience another major killer in future too.
Mr. Kenny Bean wanted to be precise in saying in the conference that HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. Not that all the HIV Human Immunodefiency Virus positive people dies from AIDS word from Latino meaning Acquired Immune Defiance Syndrome. It weakening a person's ability to defend or resist against infection. Some may have the virus but dies from a natural cause or any accident.
He insisted to acknowledge that human and Simian or Monkey are all in the same category. The monkeys have also the similar virus in their body Called SIV Simian Immunodefiency Virus that cause AIDS too. It not only the human's world suffering even the closest human's relatives Monkeys are experiencing the same problems.
All the people in the wall went: "oh". That is mean the main has got the most wanted formula in the world: the cure of AIDS.
I got the formula the full note left was PS Mr. Kenny Bean ABC+D (H2O+.
"Mr. Kenny Bean is my character, where I talk less."
Mr. Kenny Bean was known of not talking. In that note Steve wanted a man who does not talk to talk. That means to break that silence. "We have to break the silence is one of the remedy for this disease. We have to talk and demystify this disease. We have to consider it as any other disease existing not as a curse. Let break the silence."
The reporter repeated again: "I have the meaning of ABC+D" With all the researches and information I collected. Gave me the meaning of the simple formula.
The formula has two part. ABC means prevention:
A, mean absent. The one who absent from sex will eventually not get infected. Now that the medicine his aware of the blood to blood transmission of the disease. It takes all the possible precaution to avoid the transfusion by blood contact.
B, mean be faithful to your partner. The more partners you get, the more are your chances of contracting the deadly virus. It is a world wide call to return to our traditional culture. All cultures are good and there is no bad culture. Quote me on this there is no culture in the world that encourage cheating or sexually unmorally practices. If it exist that is mean is not a culture.
C, meant condoms. The only way to avoid unnecessary disease. AIDS is not the only sexually disease. We have plenty such us Gonorrhoea, Genitals herpes, Chlamydia, Trichomoniasis, Thrush, Public Lice�They are about 25 kinds of sexually transmitted disease. And condom is the simplest way too to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
After talking about the meaning of the ABC. Everybody asked him about the second part of the formula +D (H2O.
It looks like it was what missing in the development of the formula.
So he decided by explaining what his tutor was trying to say.
I went to Africa and I realized and find the meaning of all the formula. You don't have to wait only for a scientific formula to save your life. Not all the scientific formula or medicine cure or control all the disease meant for it. If the pills were able to do so, we couldn't have not experience death anymore!
Yes, the formula was incomplete; death caught the old man when he was trying to reveal the entire formula. But I have hope.
For me that formula is a prophecy to me.
Steve didn't finish the formula and I didn't finish my mission to Africa. I had a plan to visit many countries as possible but some unfortunate circumstance made me return. I only saw Namibia and South Africa while Africa is the continent that has many countries, 52 recognized country.
The formula wasn't finish, my trip to Africa end up as a disaster when the plane crash with many people aboard.
The formula wasn't finish I didn't finish what I wanted to do in Namibia too. I didn't finish report there.
I tried to finish that formula. The reason I hide my identity is that I wanted to finish this formula. In Namibia a land where I heard no family and friend I decided to live there. If my identity was revealed early I could have find the meaning of ABC+D.
But even thought I got resisted I end up returning early than expected.
The formula wasn't finish, and the scientist may not finish the formula too like they haven't completed all the formulas for all the diseases.
The formula left by my mentor Steve Rowan had two parts. The first part was ABC and I gave the definition as A, absent. B was being faithful and C was condomize. The first part means prevention.
Condom was not used against AIDS but could prevent also other sexual transmitted disease. And prevent the unwanted pregnancies. The only worry the reporter had is that human uses condom to prevent Aids and other disease but no one even mention of preventing the Monkey�s Aids on the form of SIV where many scientist believed that Aids originated from.
The Monkey has shown that he was the closest human�s relative. Not only as primate but they have shown they capacity to learn and be educated. They were able to adapt to any environment. They could wear clothes if they are taught, they could use the common sense like human. Who ever thought of preventing the SIV in Monkey? Who even took that initiative? Which animal group or protection association defended this creature?
The second part, you all wondering why Steve Rowan put a plus letter in between. It was to different the two part. ABC is prevention and D was only the scientific part of the formula.
That second part D is simply means Defense or scientific remedy or defense( H2O meant. You all know H2O. H20 mean water. Steve wanted to tell to those who already has succumbed to the virus to control the disease with balanced food. To balance their nutrition. Not only physically but also mentally. The strength mentally too may help the patient to live longer.
Defense with balanced food. Defense with mental strength (avoid worry...and exercise your body to bring balance in your mind and body).
The only cure to AIDS is a balanced nutrition or a scientific formula to boost the immune system. The scientific in the actual and future generation will develop a cure on boosting the immune system.
The waiting AIDS cure is a development of what the scientist has already discover. The cure to boost the human defense system. They have already done it but they are working on developing and to make the drugs able to control with efficiency and resist to the virus. It only the development of the actual drugs such us ART drugs, Vitamins.
No one will live eternally into this world but we all want to live longer. Balanced of food may help you. All the sort of antiretroviral treatment and vitamins may help to achieve that goal.
Let me tell you that we all want to live only longer knowing that we will all die one day. Tell me how many people into this audience will love to take a pill to live for 500 years if the inventors make this kind of pills?
I think very few of us will accept that offer. Life could have been boring living for 500 years.
H2O, meaning food. Mean mentally strength. Many die just when they develop the stress of living with HIV virus. Physical exercise may also help to handle that stress.
The second part was incomplete. I hope the other scientist will complete the formula one day. But even if they find the scientific missing word. They won't reject the H2O food of the body. They will add at that formula that Steve has prophesized in ABC+D(H2O.
At least at the end of the press conference, everybody was happy to have a clue on the formula left by Professor Steve Rowan. It took a life time experience to detect the formula.
What I know the AIDS will be not killed but it will be controlled like cancer with the ABC+D(H20.
The sad part of this disease is that people thinks that having HIV means have many sexual paternal but it is not true. Some people have many paternal and had not contracted AIDS and some people had only one paternal but got the deadly virus. AIDS do not mean poor morality. It has to be view as any other disease.
Two weeks latter Mr. Bean received a prestigious media report award as he spoke when he received the award: At the award ceremony he thanks first the genius professor Steve Rowan for defining the destiny and giving him a chance to be involved in discovering the formula ABC+D(H20+. The most wanted formula in this generation.
He thanks people who help him to discover the formula as an AIDS voluntary counsellor, he thanks people who made him survive the bush man and the king Shai. He confessed that the modern medical could have fail. The nearest people Bushmen saved him. It couldn't have made it in arriving late in the modern hospital.
He insisted. "�I did not win but the most prestigious award I won his many friends, admire and respect for my work�Thanks to Gods, ancestors, Edmond, my wife Kerry Hilton, My brother Benjamin and everybody who supported me in this project. But There is only one man who truly deserved this award, Professor Steve Rowan."
Two months later Mr. Kenny Bean remarried his wife. This ceremony was a reunited of the plane's crash survivor. Carter Ford the man called big man by the Bushmen made a more than a surprise visit with Kerry Brookes who was called by the Bushmen colored girl. He successfully managed to adopt the little girl. And managed to make it in time and marry his love of his life Amanda Britney.
Terrorism, natural disaster like Tsunami and AIDS has become one of the biggest challenges that the world was experiencing lately.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is a pleasure to interact with the big family of readers. It is also a pleasure to be part of this family of readers and writers.
In every situation and circumstances we have two sides, the positive and the negative side. As in every human and circumstance we have two sides: strength and weakness. The low and the high .We have birth and death, win and loose, Joy and sad, poor and rich, dark and light�The technology too have the weakness and quality. The weakness of the technology created many controversies in this book.
In this book we are talking about a story of a journalist and reporter who have been missing from the accident of a plane in Africa while he was in work mission. The negative of the technology (accident) drive away the journalist called Mr. Bean away from action from long time.
He lost his memory and recovered in tree steps. The British government, others countries governments and the South African government search for him without any success to find out the cause of the accident. Many controversies occurred in his searching process. The disaster didn't end when he returned; they were thinking that he is a ghost.
I hope that you enjoyed your reading journey.
