Great pics Nick. I especially like the shrimp.
Have things settled down there?
Have things settled down there?
OP
Thanks.
Yes, things have settled down with only a couple of gunshots in the last two weeks. Many people are still concerned about security though, and some 80,000 of 210,000 of the capital's inhabitants have left for their home districts. Another 70,000 are staying in the capital, going home during the day but still go back to displaced camps to sleep at night. As police patrols increase, the amount of night looting and vandalism by youth gangs is diminishing. The situation is improving but it will take quite some time for trust to return to the population.
