  3. I remember this Japanese organisation from back in the day…they funded alot of our school science projects and scholarships…sadly today we have the Chinks who just destroy and poison everything.

  4. Zambia is a dangerous place for US female Diplomats. My daughter was killed by the Police , OP and others just because I joined the UN, and 10 years on, they are still compounding the murder and their Chief Constable is a suspect t in such murder. Further, they pillaged me like imbeciles in abuse of the judicial process, and they prevent me from any bussiness venture and they have conspired to steal my house. They poisoned me after pillaging and as a method of stealing my house. I have never known peace in Zambia, On two occassions, I was sent in exile due to violence. Now I face war fare. And I am seeking asylum in other countries. It’s nit like to state that Zambia is a peaceful country. To us, it’s not.
