…and we’re back.

A prayer meeting was held in town today. When the police arrived the crowd got angry and the meeting turned into a riot. They attacked Telcom House and set fire to it, and 14 people inside had to be rescued. All phone lines and internet here in the office have been down as a result from about midday until about seven minutes ago. 

Well, that’s what I’ve been told, but if you look out the window it looks like a perfectly normal day; kids playing basketball, workmen digging trenches, and you can see that the car lot on the left has started to move their cars back next to the fence.
