And I did not ask for any special help from anyone--each officer was simply doing their work professionally to each person in the line, with no special or preferential treatment of anybody.

@cobbo3 Very good question! Maybe it is time for an evolution into a more transparent and fair international body. Whilst african talent seems to be emerging and showcasing currently at world cup, there is room for better governance!
