epilogue
email from the good boss

Dear Dora,
 
How nice to hear from you.  As you already noticed the school is in fact closed.
 
Sadly, the immigration and labour office had accepted bribes from T and his lawyer to fabricate charges against me.  I got back from the UK to find 2 charges brought against me by the Ethiopian High Court: 1= aiding and abetting illegal immigrants into Ethiopia, 2= working in Ethiopia without an investor's licence.  Both charges we know were trumped up by disgrantled competitors and corrupt officials.
 
I cannot take the risk of working in an environment where my staff, the students and my family are constantly at risk...  I therefore decided to close the school immediately.  I have written a letter of complaint to the British Council and the Brtish Embassy.
 
For now, I am back in the England (on the Isle of Wight) with my wife and child.  I am having a little break before planning for the future.
 
I wish you luck in your future ventures + I am sure you will do fine.
 
Take care,
Bruno.
