The Harem Part: Karim Wade's Offer to Epstein

In November 2011, Karim Wade, son of Senegal's president, offered to manage a harem in Epstein's planned Moroccan palace. Epstein replied he wanted 'a separate house for the women' and was copying Prince Bandar bin Sultan's Marrakech palace plans.

November 11, 2011. Epstein emails a contact: "perfect.. I will leave time . also free in the evening. Im working on moroccan house plans." The reply comes the next morning from an account logged as "afri xp": "Do not forget in the house the harem part. Happy to manage it..." (EFTA01852132-0).

Epstein wrote back: "eunuchs only I want it to have a seperate house for the women , I am getting the house plans of Bandar in marrakesch" (EFTA01852132-0).

Bandar is Prince Bandar bin Sultan. The email doesn't elaborate.

The identity of "afri xp" is confirmed by the documents. Six months earlier, on May 22, 2011, the same account had emailed Epstein asking him to switch to a new private address. Epstein replied: "im sorry , who is this" (EFTA01864579-0). The response: "This is Karim sorry better use this email adr. Cu" (EFTA01864579-2). The sender display name "afri xp" matches the same account. "Afri xp" is Karim Wade, son of Senegal's president, the man Sultan Bin Sulayem had introduced to Epstein in November 2010.

The harem email doesn't appear in the Africa-filtered dataset. No country keywords triggered it. It surfaced only through a direct quote search of the full 1.78 million email archive.
