The flight of money from Egypt has become a growing concern as many wealthy individuals seek to move money out of Egypt and keep their fortunes out of the eyes of the authorities.
The Zambian Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) intercepted an aircraft carrying five million dollars in cash and over 100kg of suspected gold at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport near the capital Lusaka on August 14, according to several sources.
Found on the plane were $5,697,700 in cash, five pistols, seven magazines, 126 rounds of ammunition, 602 pieces of suspected gold weighing 127.7 kg, and equipment for measuring gold. Later, Zambian authorities determined that the pieces were not pure gold and were in fact mixed with zinc, copper, and nickel.
The Zambian DEC announced it had arrested 10 individuals, including one Zambian, one Spanish national, one Dutch national, one Latvian national, and six Egyptian nationals for possession of dangerous goods.

Their president isn’t Obambi, so who knows what’s going on?

Something is going on in Africa. Russia, China, and the US meddling. Here's the recent "Coup Belt". Yes I get it, it's wikipedia.

Interesting though. I hadn’t pictured it like that.
Thanks.

There’s definitely a power play there.
Nigeria was about to invade several nations until “Wagner” went in. They got cold feet.

The original script had Dallas instead of Vegas. But, because the JFK assassination was still fresh in everyone’s minds the dialogue was changed to say Vegas.

And it’s one of my favorite movies. A classic. Agree. I have it on DVD. I was 8 when it came out. So I got to live through that time. Course it was few years later that I watched it for the 1st time. My 6 year sister was a more immediate problem than nukes. ;O)
