silence

On 3/5/2009 By rob

fortunately juba seems calm and relaxed today.  at least for the time being.

I’ve been following news reports by a guy named Rob Crilly who is currently reporting out of Darfur.  It doesn’t sound so quiet there and looks like it could get a lot worse before it gets any better.  He is [...]
