By now you’ve heard rebels have ceased their advance on the capital city of Bangui. I was very hopeful but wanted to wait until I heard from Dr Ngoumape who has been sending updates when he can. I received an update from him this morning. He expressed his hopefulness that a peaceful resolution could be met but warns there is still much uncertainty on both sides. He requests that we pray that everyone involved in the discussion will hold the interest of the entire country above personal interests or revenge.
He said the schools were supposed to reopen today but are still closed. The principal will broadcast when the schools are to reopen. His wife and children are all doing well. They were sent to a city by the Cameroon border in the event of a worst case scenario. He stayed behind to care for a group of orphans and a friend who suffered a stroke and is too ill to travel. He made no mention of the children or his friend so I assume they are all doing relatively well.
