Good bye - next stop

Tomorrow morning early I'll be leaving Bunia for a two hour trip to Beni. The journey used to take about eight hours but thanks to the Chinese (!) who build a new road, it's now a short drive. I'll be joining World Vision for about a week to visit some of their projects in and around Beni and (from Wednesday) in Goma. And hopefully do a few other things too.

It seems new violence has broken out around Gety, fights between the government's army and rebels, and also north of Bunia. Despite the fact that things here are definitely getting better, it shows that the situation is still quite explosive.

Thanks to Medair's wireless internet I was able to write regular updates, but don't expect this will continue. So for the next two weeks or so, please be patient. :-)
