Vice President Transportation Means Now Limited
David from Reuters sent me this image of Jean-Pierre Bemba's, the runner up of the elections, helicopter. It was destroyed by Kabila's Republican Guard in the latest clashes.
These are expensive toys to lose. This is what the chopper looked like before.
Here are the sites where I get my info:
- David's prompt articles for Reuters
- Dany's French blog with multiple postings on the situation
- radiookapi.net, the UN's radio station's website (103.5 FM in Kin)
- monuc.org, the peacekeeping mission's site with fresh AFP wires
Otherwise, I saw the entire downtown run for their lives today. A cop shot in the air to disperse a bunch of street kids throwing rocks. Suddenly, all of downtown panicked and ran. It was one of the most incredible scene from my balcony.
People are still nervous.
I think people have good reasons to be nervous. Thank you for this Wikimapia post, it's quite interesting.
Le site de Tim est aussi super-genial, pour parler ado. ;)
Les sites que tu consultes sont les meme que je consulte aussi. Great minds think alike they say....

J'aime bien le site de Tim également. D'ailleurs, c'est lui qui a construit Uing, l'engin de blog que j'utilise.
Bref, je passe le bonjour à ma soeur!

Still nervous -- you bet! Merci pour les liens, Kim. Je tiens à te dire que je les suis et que cela enrichit ma vision de ce que vous êtes en train de vivre. Le blogue photo de Tim est génial, il se lit comme un roman-photo :) Les notes de Dany sont chouettes, aussi, et j'aime bien les vignettes d'art africain qui les entoure. Passe le bonjour à Lina, qui doit certainement être en forme, aujourd'hui, et prend soin de toi.
Ami Calmant,
