Help for my friend from BANGUI

Hi Lysiane,

Since your friend works for the French Embassy I wouldn't worry too much. Regardless of the contract the French government has a legal obligation to protect all French citizens in the country, this is especially true for their own employees.

Certainly, if the French feel the situation in the Republic of Central Africa is no longer conducive to remaining in the country the Embassy staff will be among the very first to be evacuated.

Has your friend discussed the situation with either the Ambassador or at least her immediate supervisor, passed her concerns and information regarding sacking of her home along the chain of command? This would be the very first step in any case. Getting the problem out in the open is the very first step.

Muito obrigada..eu falo português porque trabalhei perto de Sao Paulo.

Thanks a lot. But getting an information is really difficult as My friend is a black woman working in a WHITE embassy . communication is really really really difficult. She had never thought about discrimination before...but now she knows what it means...so it is almost impossible to talk to his supervisor who considers that black people are born to be slaves and servants and nothing more...yes..it is still true to find this kind of people in 2013....in Africa ...with an imperialist mind...

She can't find any help at the Embassy that's the reason why I posted in Expat.com to get some help for her...

I really hope the situation will calm down.

Thanks a lot for your help.
