Pibor and what lies ahead

gigglingbob — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:13:58 +0000

When I talked with her on the phone Sunday, I don't think I had ever heard her so sad and dejected before. She said many people were coming back from hiding in the bush looking for food in Pibor and not finding anything. The little money that she had she gave out to some relatives but she knew it wasn't enough to do much of anything.

Mary Boyoi, Parliamentary Candidate, Arrested in Pibor

Today Mary was arrested in Pibor when she went to cast her vote in the election.

I was only able to talk with her briefly. She sounds ok and is no longer in custody, although I believe she is extremely shaken up and feeling bruised. From what I understood, she went to the polling station [...]

2nd Day Sudan Election

rob — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:13:15 +0000

Communication. Get frustrated with it sometimes. Briefly spoke with Mary. Still lots of problems on ground in Pibor. So today in places like Manyabol and Gumuruk, just outside of Pibor town, people were refusing to vote. They said what was the point of voting if they were not going to be allowed to choose who [...]

This is not an Election

rob — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:16:47 +0000

I spent the whole day trying to get through to my wife in Sudan. ”The number you are trying to reach is unavailable, please try again later”. Worried. All sorts of scenarios playing out in my head as to what might have happened. Forcing myself to assume her phone was off, battery was low or [...]
