Omar this time gave a second thought "salam", last week he didn't bother to answer mine. i've been trying to avoid him as it became clear that his intercepting my way home was to stall me and keep my position and doings known.
Fridays during prayers must be hard for the #police and #intelligencerservices to keep track of the people they are following when there are so many people about. That is why they are determined to keep me way from crowds.
Omar mentioned that he had been in Egypt when a Frenchman that knew many of rhe different ways to recite the Qur'an was outed as being part of French intelligence and "beaten up".
At the time it felt like he was probing for information and he always wears his headphones "to listen to audiobooks" while talking to me.
It's got me thinking. On the 22 April 2021 i renewed my passport. Thinking nothing of it.
The problem seems to be the visa stamps i had to get going back and forth from #Egypt to #Libya as part of a media training job for Libyans during their revolution that -- ironically -- #MrIssa and #Aabid had planned and got me to do. I had ideas about becoming a freelance war correspondent and it seemed a good idea at the time.
Is this why i'm under so much scrutiny?
#protip: remove any pages, if you legally can, of visas that **may be interpreted in a bad light** before sending your old passport with your renewal application!
