The week that was 13/02/2011

Pretty mundane really except for the Cairo demonstration that will have more than likely a detremental affect on us .As that is where our lords and masters reside and we have had a hard time getting carry on money from them in the paast now the banks are shut ot international transfers which is quite understandable .But we need a couple of million right now to keep going,

The trip to Europe was successful with two banks wanting to run with us which is great but by the time we do al the environmental social economic and due dilibence will be a year as yhey cannot officaly start till Soth Sudan becomes its own country in July as we are techciacly Sudan still and all the sactions still stand .

So pretty much sudaned out at present sick of not being able to move forward with out going back first still have a couple of irons in other fires that have arisen in the last week so time will tell.

Went into Bentiu earlier in the week and was dropping of some sticks or here it is building material for one of the soldierd=s out in the very much boondocks ,
We were driving along and were stopped at a spot due to goats children and a power cord  and we out of the truck.when Maanga Jim says Duck Meesta Tim so being the old duck hunter from way back scans the skys until my suspect hearing eventualy hears the close retort of an AK being used [ quiet distinct was also audiable as we left Juba the week before] in a rather aggresive manner so I did then duck and I must admit rather quickly. All was quiet and into truck and off then more shots so then Steven our soldier body guard decided he needed to be inviolved so he bails out of truck Locked and loaded not I am sure for my Protection but just like a pig hunt to be involved in the capture, bringing down of what was a drunken soldier having some severe dilusions but I could not believe it was like a school yard playground when there is a fight .People coming from every wher to see what was going on .

so never a dull moment here then to the  total oppsite of that I must have sen the Falata move a mob of 10,000 sheep and goats across the road they took over an hour to cross the road just ????
