| Ex-Gitmo detainee struggles to build life in Chad |
| 2009-12-19 |
| A former detainee who spent his teenage years at Guantanamo Bay said Thursday he is struggling to build a life in his parents' native Chad, a central African nation he had never seen before his release from the U.S. military prison earlier this year. Mohammed el Gharani, who was born and raised in Saudi Arabia, said in a telephone interview that he relies on handouts from friends to support himself. He complained the government has refused to give him a passport. "I'm still not free," he said in English. "I have no job. I have a hard time to find somewhere to live." I'm tearing up ... from laughing. |

| #4 They have big haboobs (dust storms) and swarms of locusts in Chad. It's a paradise on earth. What is he b*tchin' about? Missing the cuisine at Gitmo? Is that your trouble, Bunky? |

| #2 He cant find a job in Chad? I cant even find Chad, not to worry. Somewhere out there ( if you squint your eyes ) is a country named Chad which imports dirt and exports balls on a stick. And monkey-boy now lives there. Hey, enjoy. |
