Once upon a time in a kingdom far far away, there lived a baby, named as Nasie. Her parents were really smart folks- who spent their entire life to provide best circumstances for Nasie to grow. However, fate isn’t always kind and tragedy struck when she was only one, her parents passed away- leaving her all alone in this cruel world.
Now that her parents were dead, the question of her custody was raised by her well-wishers. She had three aunts; Demokrasie, Vestiging and Regbank. These three had their fair share of good and evil; however, based upon the closeness with Nasie’s parents – the elders in the kingdom decided to give custody to Demokrasie.
However, the jealous Vestiging didn’t take it well and snatched her away, told her all the lies about how Demokrasie isn’t good for her upbringing. This tussel for the custody of Nasie went on for several years. (The growth of a baby in that ‘magical’ kingdom was measured in dog years)
Anyhow, time went by and the silent-at-times aunt Regbank now had three children. The fight over custody was still their and everyone – even Nasie – was accoustmed to it now. But one day something changed and Vestiging and Regbank formed an alliance to disrupt the household of Demokraise. Nasie stood there astonished, thinking what was going on? But she couldn’t really understand.
One day, Regbanks younger daughter questioned the actions of her mother and aunt Vestiging and asked if they were affecting Nasies mental and physical health. Aunt Vestiging and Regbank and even Demokrasie weren’t used to of being questioned. Ofcourse, the kingdom was patriarcial so how dare a young girl question the actions of her elders.
The young girl was grounded by her mother and this hush culture of ‘not questioning anything’ kept on going.
Nasie was deeply affected by all these ‘strictly non-political’ games played by her aunt. She became violent, she strated to stumble more often than any other child would do, and lag behind in all the activities.
The rumors of her violent behaviour spread all over the world and every one started to keep a distance from the kingdom Nasie owned. She was forced in isolation with no one understanding her situation.
And that, dear kids, is how Nasie got on FATF’s ‘grey list’.
