I wonder if Benin is confusing a Western public by calling all real estate tax collectors ‘white collars’. White collars do not wear Galabeias nor wrap things around their heads.
Your transliteration of the magazine is a bit bizarre. It’s Weghat Nazar. At least that’s the official transliteration.
Yes – am correcting it, you’re right.
