Request for a meeting with chief of mission

No Image

For 12 years, we have been living in the most humiliating conditions in Botswana, some of us came when we were very young and healthy, but the only thing we can show as the result of being in such a situation is grey hair and life threatening situations such as no sign of belonging.

We came to seek asylum in Botswana due to the persecution that we were facing in our countries.  For all these years, the government of Botswana has rejected us, this has happened more than three times.  We have been trying our level best to get a resting solution to our cases to all the previous Chiefs of Mission, but there has been no will, whatsoever, from this office.  Surprisingly, most Chiefs of Mission were willing, but the moment they stayed in the office for more than six months their attitude changed, and this could be probably because of the wrong advice they get in the offices from the long serving officers in this office.  And we are worried of you too, we have a fear that the moment you are in the office for more than six months, you might also start tales.  The situation is too frustrating and as a result some of our colleagues have lost their lives.

For God's sake we are human beings, like any other.  Who knows, maybe one day the sons/daughters of the same people who are making our lives miserable might be in our situation.  God is mighty and pays justly.  These officers might be paid here or on the day of judgment for their part in persecuting us.
