He accepts the 1 day / 1 week / 1 month contract but then goes on his little tirade about working for the white man and just leaves.
Are all your team members black? It's the only condition in which Ali will work for you.

It's a tricky one, I'll grant you that. Here's a few pointers:
- Always save the game as soon as you enter Cuidad-de-Oro
- Make sure ALL your team members are out of sight from any NPC.
- Kill Nunez at the darkest time of the day/night, which is from 24:00 to 03:00
- Plant the gun on Nunez once he's dead

If there's a civilian near Nunez, load a game where you haven't talked to Castillio yet and exit/re-enter the sector. Do this until the execution area is clear of any civilians.

Move your mercs to a good hiding spot and use your main merc to kill Nunez. Apply camo paint if you got any. Save before you actually shoot him, in case the shot fails, load and move your merc a little bit and try again.

I can't answer this without the log info, but as a rule, always use the safe at the base to stash any items. It's what it's there for

Slaves aren't mercs and are supposed to have awful stats. They can be used to generate some profit, or as cannon fodder for those with a stone heart
