an activist from Burundi #3

The asylum officer asked:
Tell me about money: who paid your salary? who paid for your plane tickets?
   Who paid money to your brother?
You say your government hates you, but they voluntarily pay you money?
Do you often pay money to someone you are angry at?
=
How do you know if Smith received the money?
did you see it with your own eyes? did Smith tell you he got the money?
So, you don't know for sure, but you believe he got the money? Does anyone else believe he got the money?
=
What did the president of your country say about your ethnic group?
How do you know he said that?
How would anyone know if you are a member of that ethnic group?
if someone knows your last name, he would assume something?
if someone heard you speak in the Swahili language, he would believe something?
if someone just looks at you, while you are silent, how would he know your ethnic group?
=
you were in the military? tell me your complete employment history? did you shoot a grandmother because of her ethnic group?
=
you say that Smith wanted to kill you? why didn't he? didn't you go to work at the same office day after day? you lived at the same house day after day? were you difficult to find?
=
Why was the government angry at you, in December 2015?
How did you obtain the marriage certificate?
Is there anything else?
Is there anything else?
