Mohammed Aisha leaves the ship after 4 years onboard
It all started four years ago.  The Egyptian police stopped the cargo ship, named Aman, in the Suez Canal.  It did not have the correct documents for safety.  They tried to find the owners but they had disappeared or had no money.  The captain and crew of the ship had left.  Egypt said Mohammed was the only person left on the ship and he was chief officer.  They would not let him go until money was paid.  Trouble was there was no fuel.  And no pay.  He was alone for 4 years.  Finally, Egypt allowed him to leave but the ship is still there.
