It's a "he said, she said" case. Commonsense may tell us that Mr. Kebede's version rings true, but unless one of the Saudi students corroborates him, he is s*** out of luck.

Why do you automatically assume the Ethiopian is a liar? You don't know him, you have no right to make these accusations.

Who said I thought he was a liar? On the contrary, I said I thought his version seemed quite credible. But I also said that unless he can get corroboration from a disinterested party or from one of the Saudis, the case is "he said, she said," his word against theirs, and under the law anyone trying to adjudicate it would be unable to rule one way or the other.
