A deeply religious young man, born again, devoted to his work and to singing gospel. He is tall, dark and skinny, with a fine pointing nose and a proud posture. Glasses give him an intelligent look. One night he comes home upset. Someone he knew from home had called him to meet up. He had a job for him. He would triple his current salary. Curious, the young man went to see the friend. “What do you enjoy?” he was asked. “Beer? Cigarettes? Dancing?” None appealed to him, and he told his friend so. “Let me take you to Zanzibar, by plane. Or we can go and sleep in the Mövenpick tonight, do you like that?” The friend had girly hair, and female clothes. While he paid the waiter, his wallet showed an enormous pile of dollar bills. His job at the Rwanda Tribunal paid him $ 8000 every month.
The job conditions were quite different from any other job. The young man refuses to repeat them. Hadn’t he been so dark he would have deeply blushed. He didn’t want the job, but the man insisted. He gave him some cash, and asked him to come to the hotel again. “You know, here in Tanzania people are so behind. When I lived in Europe, it was very normal. I have been with many boys before. I like the tall and slender ones.”
The next day, messages kept coming in, and he received some more money. “Imagine I would be really in need of that money, how hard it would be.”
