2nd December 2008

We are back in Goma with rumours of war imminent; traffic jams that rival London rush hour, and the beautiful Lake Kivu to swim in after a long hot day. Most of the day was spent updating Sadiki (Tearfund’s Country Representative for DRC) and partners on our findings so far.

The security situation has deteriorated west of Goma with renewed fighting near a town called Masisi causing more displacements of the local population.

Gary is leaving tomorrow but I will go out with a team to assess the situation over the next few days. Please continue to pray for peace in DRC and for her safety and that of our partners who work courageously under difficult circumstances.
