Unrest

March 2nd

While I seem to be getting somewhat conflicting reports from Kenneth (who is still hiding in the bush) and some of my translators here, it is all too clear that the West Kewa situation is not getting any better. Once again, a few days ago, 2 more men were killed and 7 more hospitalized after fighting broke out on some of the land belonging to Kenneth’s clan. Apparently no one from Kenneth’s clan was injured, but the fighting continues – needlessly. I had one of the translators call and speak to Kenneth, who reported that Kenneth’s clan has somehow gained access to 10 high-powered rifles. This news is disheartening because they are expecting to have to use them today – as they are expecting another attack from the neighboring clan. Pray that God would use the community leaders effectively to stop the fighting and that the Lord would intervene to stop the bloodshed and revenge killings.
