Ian Khama has 'nothing' to fear in Botswana, says his successor President Mokgweetsi Masisi
In an interview with FRANCE 24, Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi was asked to react to the case of his predecessor, Ian Khama. Botswana is asking for Khama's extradition due to a warrant against him for illegal possession of firearms. Khama refuses to come back, saying he risks being poisoned. "A litany of inconsistencies", said Masisi, adding that Khama, who left office in 2018 after two five-year terms, has “nothing” to fear in Botswana.

It's a case of best friends turned enemies, and now they're busy hanging their dirty linen in public. It's useless, pointless, selfish, and it doesn't help the country or citizens in any shape or form.

President Masisi hasn't done any harm to anybody. He is our President and we love and appreciate him. He has done a lot for this country. In achieving some of the sustainable development goals we all are familiar of, its not a walk in the park. He took us somewhere. Yes we are a democracy that is challenged just like any other but we are striving through his leadership. He is no threat to anyone.
