Anniversary

Today marks the year anniversary of the death of Dr. John Garang. The capital is empty, many people are wary of going to work because they are afraid. They are afraid that the events of last year might happen this year. For two weeks the capital was the epitome of wartorn African country. Weeks after they were pulling dead bodies out of the canals. There are still burned and destroyed cars and buildings in the capital.
Most people in the north want separation they think it will solve everything, some don't even mind if Darfur decides to split as well. That won't solve anything, most of the would be countries aren't viable nations within themselves.
I'm glad to be back in the capital because the bulk of the survey and collection is over. But I miss the weather back in the west, the capital is scorchingly hot.
