Brad Pitt and Angelina JolieBrad Pitt and Angelina JolieBrad Pitt and heavily pregnant Angelina Jolie have had enough of the constant interest in the arrival of their baby.

And their stay in Namibia, Africa, looks to have stirred up something of a political storm.

They've made a statement asking intrusive journalists and photographers to "kindly" leave them alone... and the country's Prime Minister has backed them up.

The statement says: "We love Africa and to be here in Namibia with our family is very special for us.

"To the local people who have been so kind and gracious, thank you for making us feel at home.

"As for the press, we kindly ask for privacy so that we can enjoy this beautiful country with our children."

"Harassment is not allowed in Namibia. If a person says they don't want to be photographed then, of course, that person deserves protection."

And these are not just hollow words. South Africa's Sunday Times said the pressure on the press was unprecedented.

"Three French paparazzi photographers were ordered to leave this week or face arrest," it was reported.
