If any of you keep up to date on Ugandan news…Unlikely
though possible, you would have noticed that it is election time. On Monday there
was unrest in the city center. One person got shot and tons of people got tear
gassed. I also heard a couple people are missing. Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday have been pretty peaceful. Thursday was election day and since then they have limited internet
access. No social media and a couple other things. Luckily if I needed to
get a hold of anyone I have a program downloaded that lets me pass through the
block but I only have a certain amount of time free so I will be limiting that until it
becomes unblocked. It has been an interesting time. I have been pretty bored
because I have chosen to follow good advice and stick around indoors despite
my desire to see the action (You’re welcome Mom and Dad). I am staying with a
friend and we “stocked up” on food and supplies… but we were bad at estimating
so really were weren't stocked up and we will have to buy more stuff which isn’t a big deal, we live really close
to a market and a grocery store. I don't need to be to worried right now if anything intense happens it is likely to
happen after they announce the winner of the elections. If the current president
wins he will have to and I quote “squash the opposition” If the opposition wins
he pretty much has to overthrow the current government. It could go smooth, it could not. Please pray
that things will go smoothly and that I won’t die of boredom from being cooped
up in the house.
P.S I didn't take this picture because I was smart enough to avoid town but this is what it looked like.
