The others that are there by choice or chance, business or pleasure, will have to wait until the evacuation is organized and completed.
Ranting accomplishes nothing. You can be sure that the government knows exactly who is in country and for what purpose.
Some people react well in an emergency and others have that katrina victim mentality.
I believe RY has done all he can for himself - registered, making calls to the State and embassy, made contact with the warden, made contacts with others in the same situation, has an in with the French evacuation, gathered a stash of supplies of food and water, attempted exits including by private boat, was wise enough to turn down the Syrians' invitation and certainly isn't whining like that idiot US priest that he can't wander willy nilly around the streets. That's a heck of a lot more than those Katrina ninnies did for themselves. What more do you suggest he do?
I guess so. :)
LOL! Last night, I had a retired ambassador call the State Dept on my behalf to confirm that my online registration went through and was on record. (They send no confirmation of registration.) He was told that they had no record of me being in the country and had to re-register me.
You might want to rethink your statement because you are dead wrong, as my experience proves.
