lady from Cameroon loses!

Ms. Djadjou was denied asylum, because her letters of suppport were inconsistent with her story:
1] she testified she was "Secretary General" of SCNC; but letter from the SCNC was silent; it did not say she was

2] she testified she was arrested 4 times; letter said just two times

3] she testified she resigned from SCNC in 1996; letter said she was still a member

4] she testified she was at home when the convocation arrived; the convocation itself said she was at her boutique
= = =
Djou testified he telephoned SCNC office in Douala; that he was told that Ms. Dja had been arrested, but he did not testify about the record-keeping practices of the SCNC in that city. [the man in the SCNC office in Douala should have written a letter]

man from Haiti did not know about his own country

Mr. Petit Jacques, from Haiti, was denied asylum.
He said he was active in the "Lavalas" political party; but, he did not know the full name of it. Nor did he have a membership card.
He did not know the name of the leader of the Convergence Party.
He did not know the first name of the preceding President.
He did not know that Lavalas did much violence.

He blamed his translator, and also the person who helped him prepare his asylum application.
The court said: no asylum. We know more about politics in Haiti than this applicant does.

Should Mr. Jacques feel embarrassed that a judge in the USA knows more about Haitian politics than he does?

Mr. Jacques was too busy to read and study about his own country, before seeking asylum?
