Doesn’t matter what citizenship one has your passport tells where you have been.

Hopefully! I actually had some problems at the airport in Zurich, because the customs official there had a hard time following the sequence of stamps on my passport from a cruise I was on in the summer of 2012. Apparently the economic crisis in Greece was so bad that even customs officials in Greece couldn't get fresh stamp pads loaded with ink. They kept on using old stamp pads. The Greek exit stamp on my passport was very faint. Eventually the customs official in the the Zurich airport found the Greek stamp and stamped the passport with a Swiss entrance stamp. When I got home, I called up the travel agency that booked my cruise and informed them that they needed to warn the cruise line to beware that Greek customs officials were making barely visible stamps onto passports.

If the Ebola crisis gets worse, all sorts of things people normally expect to work will fail, especially in third world countries.

The thing to remember from Ferfal’s book is that things fall apart much faster than one might think.
