Heh, całkiem sporo wody upłyneło w Nilu, tak jak i w Wiśle pewnie, before I was able to once again bring you the news from a few of my Sudanese elksploracji. This does not mean that nothing happened here describe an interesting and worthy of not happening, is not it also means that the whole time struggling with malaria. I guess I just got in a next phase of your stay in this fascinating country. I would call this phase of standardization, adaptation, life everyday. Unfortunately, normalization does not fit very well in spite of everything to Juba and surrounding areas. Through my bałagaństwo do not quite know how to meaningfully convey to you my impressions of the last period. So let's start today, and then gradually what was going on so far.
Today in Juba was something different, something was brewing. Not much I could determine what happens in the beginning, but then I started to collect information from everyone you met and so I learned a few versions of a single day.
- first version - the lecturers' strike at the University of Juba. The lecturers have decided to take this step because I have not received salaries. Well, such things are happening around the world. But the fact that students took to the streets and caused a riot, because the teachers' strike can not continue science, is already quite a big surprise. I suspect that the Polish students would find other ways to use the teachers strike. And here took to the streets because they can not learn. How much truth in this noble cause flooding to the riots that probably will never know. But the facts remain. Students eagerly rushed for breaking windows in cars and other demonstration niezadowolenia.Pospolite violating the university is one version.
- second version - scheduled for today were peaceful demonstrations in both the north and south, which was to encourage legislators to adopt a law on political pluralism and release other parties besides the two only legitimate for the upcoming elections in April. Quite a lot about writing in the local press, about the need for democratization of the Act. Anyway, much of this topic is going on. People had to walk around freely and peacefully fight for these changes. Do you come out, it's hard to say because at this point we have another potential group of rioters in the street.
- third edition - this morning, was arrested in Khartoum, one of the two most important officials SPLA, the South Sudanese army. City in the show discontent opted for a general strike.
Three possible reasons, each equally probable. And at this point brings us to all sorts of discrepancies. What is the connection between the two causes. Which of them has led to riots. I have not seen the same event, only the broken glass on the road, police on every corner and shops closed. The empty streets. All the tins are closed. Ghost town.
If you are still not convinced he's going to one of the most interesting places on earth, let me just that deposited in this whole mess. What is my place here - I am a contract employee of the company building the new building of the Ministry of governance derived from a guerrilla army of the State that does not exist and perhaps never on the map does not appear. It's hard to wonder why he wants to liberate noon - are citizens of a very long category despite the fact that most of everything that is valuable just to the south. It's also hard to expect to midnight so willingly agreed to receive their power over these deposits. The armed struggle is over, but that does not mean that the midnight forgive the south. Besides kałachami and tanks, you can also get tired opponent, for example, economically. Finances are strong south highly dependent on the government in the north. It's southern oil exports midnight and midnight to get foreign currency in dollars. A south - south due to the U.S. dollar does not get or gets them too little.
lot of questions asking myself watching the local reality. And now, after a short break, these questions will try to share with you. Season so end another exciting day and go to sleep, to see what tomorrow will bring.
