African Hungarian Union to Promote African Issues...Balogh Sándor

Interview by Hakeem Babalola

I recently interviewed the African Hungarian Union president, Balogh Sándor, who affirmed the organisation's commitment to promote African issues both in Hungary and Africa. This is a must read for Africans in Hungary dealing with African culture and, or issues. "We try to help anyone that comes to us," says Balogh who together with the secretary of the organisation, Tunde Komolafe, is participating in the Budapest Bamako Rally which started at Kossuth tér parliament on January 12. The interview that supposed to start at 4 pm did not until after 6 pm. This gave me the opportunity to follow them to a Radio House where the AHU is expected to pay 100,000 FT monthly for a phone in programme centred on African issues click and read more

I am Nathan and I live in Minnesota (USA) but I am presently on assignment in Iraq.

Well I was going through one of the articles you wrote on Hungarian women seeking African men. That was so funny the facts you presented. Actually it got me to realise what those people are all about.

But you know what? I am talking to one Hungarian girl at the moment. I met her in Cancun-Mexico when I was on leave-vacation two weeks ago. She seems to be so nice and for the whole time I was over there in Mexico. I still did not get the catch as to what she could have wanted out of me. That is if we ever got to the point of getting married.

At so many instances I thought she is falling in love with me to get U.S citizenship for she will automatically be entitled to that after we got married. Then the question is this: is she just trying to get to me to get that citizenship?

Well you have to help me with this one.

She is so pretty. Break it down for me but you know, there at Cancun, there were so many other white guys she could have tried to lure. But she left all of them and decided to come for me. Well we had a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing her when I get done with my military duties here in Iraq by July 2008. I will wait and see. Hit me back and tell me what you think. Bye for now.
