Gobbledegook! There must be a reason for the eviction notice, like long
overdue rent, non-paid electricity bills or something like that. As long
as RFPI is unwilling to uncover the real reason for the quarrel, I don't
see any reason to give them a helping hand.

Again, as long as they are unwilling to inform their listeners about the
background, I think, it is by far over the top to try to bring this case
to the SG of the United Nations.

If I don't pay my rent and the landlord gives me an eviction notice,
this is not a case for Kofi Annan.
