Well, some of you have heard that its been not so quiet around this part of the world this week. On Thursday morning a feud between the 'non-political' King of this area of Uganda and the President fueled tension and resulted in riots around the city. Lots of burning tires creating roadblocks & much chaos in the center of town brought the city to a halt. I'll put a link to an article below for more info.
We here in Nansana are fine, though we were restricted to our compound for a few days...makes me very stir crazy! But at least we felt safe & were safe during these crazy days. Today seems to be quiet, we're hoping & praying the worst is over & life will be back to normal around here. The fragility of any society seems to hang by the fear & insecurities inside each of us, which when brought together under a common opportunity for power can easily be broken. By Grace today, we here have experienced only a crack in the structure, but it is a reminder that the crack is still there...not yet mended...
