Dear Robert, my family spent nearly 25 years in Africa, for the most part amongst unrest, I SO appreciate what you are going through.

Love and prayers for you, Namissa, and your families.
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven: a time to be born and time to die: a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.     Ecclesiastes, 3:1-2

East.  We lived in Nairobi.  Arriving shortly after Mau Mau, and seeing the troubles through and beyond Independence.   Later my parents continued onto Zambia, I returned home to continue my education.

In all we did approx 25 years in that part of the world, we witnessed much sadness, yet also much joy.

I have always said that once Africa gets under your skin, it is there for life.  I will return some day, and take my family, to see an exceptional country.  (preferably without the tourists!)

take care,
FL
