Tomorrow CNSMHB will be giving a slideshow & presentation thing covering their recent trip to Kenya and Sudan. This will be at my parent’s church in Arlington, starting after the service (so, roughly at eleven). If I finish in time they’ll show a short edit of some of the footage they brought back with them. Stop by if you’re interested, I don’t think it’ll be particularly long.
On a somewhat related note, I’ve noticed that people keep coming to this Kiva post looking for information on riots that happened in Maputo, Mozambique on the fifth of February. The riots were related to fuel costs and the price of mini-bus fares. Fifty-six were arrested and four killed either during the riot or by the police response. Arnaldo Chefo of the Maputo City Police said that only non-lethal rubber bullets and tear gas were used (though, as we in Boston well know, such police responses are not always non-lethal). There have been similar incidents subsequently in Chokwe.
