South Darfur • On 26 and 27 Sept., about 100 women and children gathered in the AU CIVPOL compound in Kalma Camp to complain about the fact that they have not been registered since their arrival in the camp nine months ago and therefore are being denied any form of assistance. On both days, the group dispersed after AU CIVPOL units and Sheiks talked to them. Returns South Sudan • The number of returnees down south through Rubkona towards Leer has increased averaging about 50 people per day. This has been enhanced by a daily bus service running between Bentiu and Leer towns. Due to a lack of SRT enumerators in the area it is currently not possible to adequately cover and register all the returnees.

He also told the armed forces that they should be ready to protect the state and civilians against any rebel attacks. • The security situation around Shangil Tobayi and surrounding villages was reported to be calm except for isolated cases of banditry activities. An incident of banditry was reported on the El Fasher – Nyala road on 23 Sept. in which one person was killed and six injured. Due to the increased banditry in the Tawilla area truck drivers are reluctant to drive in the general area of Tawilla for fear of armed tribesmen and SLA along the road. Armed tribesmen along the road are allegedly collecting 5,000 SD tax from truck drivers. • The El Fasher Security Committee has decided to change the curfew hours in town from 22:00 hrs to 06:00hrs to 21:00 hrs to 6:30 hrs. The change of the curfew appears to be related to rumours about SLA activities in the region. South Darfur • Regarding clashes in Shaeria on 19 Sept., reports now indicate that one SAF officer was seriously injured, three SAF slightly wounded and 55 soldiers are still missing. It is believed that three SAF convoys that left Nyala on 21 Sept. are heading towards Shaeria. The situation in and around the town remains tense. 30 armed men allegedly entered Shaeria town on 24 Sept. Insecurity is further exacerbated by shootings in the area and the presence of SLA fighters in the camps in the area. • During the night 20-21 Sept., the SLA attacked a SAF military post at Kanzajadeed. The attack was repulsed by the SAF. Reportedly, one SAF soldier was killed and one injured. • An INGO convoy travelling to Dito and Sanalmanaga that went missing on 21 Sept. returned safely to Nyala on 25 Sept.

West Darfur • The security situation in Geneina remains tense following the incidents on 19 and 20 Sept. On 24 Sept., Chadians dressed in military uniform were seen in the market. The GoS is attempting to get the situation under control by sending SAF and police patrols in and around the market area. UN Staff is advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid the market area. Protection Issues: • Following reports of large-scale displacement following attacks in the Tawilla and Tabit areas, an inter-agency assessment team composed of OCHA, UNJLC, UNICEF, WFP and IOM conducted a rapid assessment in Gallap, Tabit, and Shangil Tobayi on 22 Sept. Displaced families previously reported in Gallap had either returned to their villages or moved on to Zam Zam camp, and only seven newly-arrived families remained. Tabit was deserted, other than a small number of armed SLA men. Two hundred new arrivals had been registered by Oxfam in Shadad (Shangil Tobayi area) and had temporarily re-settled in existing shelters belonging to IDPs who had left for cultivation purposes. No new arrivals were observed in Shangil Tobayi camp, but Oxfam is to conduct a verification exercise there.

General South Sudan • Heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms continued in Nyal town and surrounding villages on 22 and 23 Sept., wreaking havoc on property and people. On 23 Sept., a national UN staff member was struck by lightning but survived. The Nyal airstrip as well as some sections of the UNICEF compound were flooded, resulting in immobilized vehicles within the compound. The local population is strengthening the dykes after some gave way as a result of the surging water from the nearby swamps. WFP has begun air dropping food to the general population in Nyal. In addition, it is expected that school children of Nyal Primary School will be eligible for assistance under a school feeding programme. • On 22 Sept., the Area Coordination Office in Rumbek visited Amer, in order to assess the condition of the community, following reports of food deficits.

During the mission, reports of other communities experiencing a food deficit, such as Rual, Lang Cok and Pantheer, and with people displaced due to flooding were received. North Darfur • OCHA visited Zam Zam camp on 24 Sept. to assess the humanitarian response to the recent displacement. WES has already rehabilitated 10 latrines and is in the process of constructing 11 others, as well as two additional hand pumps. Distribution of food and Non-Food Items (NFIs) to newly-arrived IDPs started on 22 Sept. and is ongoing for the 1,700 families so far verified by the Spanish Red Cross (another 300 families are in the process of being verified).

Participants raised the issue of corruption within the humanitarian community and expressed grave concerns over growing security problems and societal divisions in Juba. Finally, the participants suggested that UNMIS staff receive additional cultural orientation in the field so that staff members are aware of local traditions. They offered chiefs, SRRC and local agencies to assist with this training. North Darfur • On 15 Sept., UNMIS El Fasher met with AMIS Civpol in El Fasher to exchange information and views on reconciliation processes in North Darfur. In the meeting, which was facilitated by UNMIS Civpol, it was agreed to regularly coordinate and exchange information on reconciliation initiatives and planned reconciliation activities. Human Rights: • On 15 Sept., UNMIS spoke to individuals from Ryad IDP camp in El Geneina who witnessed three armed GoS soldiers abduct a 25 year-old women from her house on 14 Sept. The victim, who was eventually released by the perpetrators, alleged to a UN agency that the soldiers took her outside the confines of the camp and raped her. Just prior to this incident, UNMIS was informed that the same soldiers attempted to abduct a young girl. The girl was apparently released unharmed after her mother paid a bribe to the soldiers. The acting head of West Darfur State Police told UNMIS that the perpetrators do appear to have been GoS soldiers. He stated that the 25 year-old- woman should have reported to the state hospital in El Geneina instead of going to the clinic where she received treatment. He also informed UNMIS that the police are opening an investigation regardless of her wishes. This would be contrary to government policy and commitments pertaining to the rights of victims of sexual violence. UNMIS Police: South Sudan • On 18 Sept., a follow-up workshop for the UN Police (FHQ and Sector I) was held at the JMCO conference room in Juba. The objective of the workshop was to address issues of team building, monitoring/ patrolling and training priorities. • On 18 Sept., UN Police met the head of the fire brigade, Lt.Col.Pascal Ladu, in Wau.

The graduates were encouraged to impart their acquired knowledge to other police officers. Huamnitarian: South Sudan • The Office of the Resident Humanitarian Coordinator in Rumbek is in the process of moving to Juba. On 18 Sept., additional assets of the office are flown to Juba. Within a few days the Office of the DRHC will be operational. This move is important as it leads the way for the humanitarian community in Rumbek to move to Juba. The move will increase the presence of the humanitarian community there and significantly improve the coordination of humanitarian affairs. • During the monthly coordination meeting, chaired by SRRC in Juba, it was decided to continue using movement permits (passes), pending the passing of the NGO act by the legislature. After the passing of this act, registration certificates will also be issued. In the meantime, clearance for NGOs wanting to work in SRRC areas will continue to be issued by the SRRC liaison office in Nairobi. • A four-day OCHA Mission to Bunagok in Aweil County was completed by the Lakes Area Coordinator’s Office on 16 Sept. The goal of the mission was to clarify reports of recent food looting in the area. The mission found that these reports were incorrect and that they were based on food lootings that happened about six months ago. These earlier lootings had caused WFP to halt food deliveries to the area. The community and local leaders admitted to the earlier food looting and the false reports on recent food looting and promised to not spread false reports anymore. West Darfur • INGOs and UN agencies received a letter from HAC cancelling the current 3-month travel permits for staff in West Darfur. New travel permits on a daily or mission basis are now to be obtained from HAC. HAC says this is one of the measures to ensure the safety of movement along the roads for humanitarian agencies. Returns: South Sudan • The return movement organized by the Voluntary Return Committee (VRC) into areas of Adem Gogi in South Darfur was interrupted following insecurity in the area. This village is situated 11 km east of Nyala and comprises 40 to 50 households. The people fled the area last Nov. and moved to Dereige and other areas in Nyala town. With the support of the VRC, some IDPs returned back to the village in late Aug. The VRC assisted them with plastic sheeting and food. Following insecurity in the area last week, the returnees evacuated the village and returned to Dereige camp. • In Bentiu, reportedly four buses of returnees have arrived from Khartoum. The UN agencies present in Bentiu held an SRT meeting on 18 Sept. to deal with the influx of returnees and to start the registration process, which is currently ongoing. MSF-F has initiated a measles vaccination campaign among returnee children in Bentiu and Rubkona following several cases of measles among the returnee children. Transitional Areas • There is a steady influx of returnees in Abyei. Since 26 Aug., an estimated 2,000 people have arrived by organized buses. Although most are staying in Abyei it is likely that when the southbound roads will be passable and transport is made available some returnees will continue on southward. Protection: • An INGO reported that 850 households moved to Abu Saroug IDP camp (south-west of Seleia) following fighting in the areas of Shabat Ardo, Melmelli, Pabok, Pojol Mon and Morda. UNMIS Military: Sector I (Juba) • On 16 Sept., there was a discussion on the formation of Area Joint Military Commission (AJMC) between the Sector Commander (SC) and the representatives from SAF and SPLM/A.

The NGO Forum issued a memorandum of protest, which was published by the local press and will be distributed to different political parties. The memorandum states that the decree violates national NGO rights, including the right to organise. Additionally, the Forum is planning to take the case to the Constitutional Court, which is yet to be established. • UNMIS continues to meet with Southern Muslim groups in Juba to assess the impact of the violence of early Aug. At the same time, it is meeting with the Sudan Council of Churches Transformation Committee and the Juba Chamber of Commerce to identify and possibly support different reconciliation initiatives in Juba community. • The University of El-Fasher in collaboration with local tribal leaders, the Good Will Committee (Reconciliation Commission), and civil society organisations organized a two-day workshop on The Future of Peace and Stability in Darfur. The workshop discussed the future of peace in Darfur and the governance structures (native administration and federal structures) necessary to ensure peace and development. The final recommendations of the workshop were presented to AU Mediator for Darfur, Dr. Salim. UNMIS Police • UN Police Sector Commander and Field Headquarters Training Coordinator met the Commissioner-General of Police for Southern Sudan, Maj Gen David Okwier, on 3 Sept. in Juba to discuss community policing initiatives and training of senior Police officials. Humanitarian Affairs: General Humanitarian North Darfur • The Spanish Red Cross completed its verification exercise of IDPs left in Abu Shouk camp after the relocation of IDPs to Al Salaam. The final figure obtained from the exercise is 48,485 individuals representing about 9,085 families. • African Humanitarian Action (AHA) has completed a head count exercise covering 25 clusters in El-Fasher Rural. The results of the exercise indicate that 39,346 individuals from the area require humanitarian assistance. West Darfur • A re-registration exercise took place on 31 Aug. in the Geneina IDP camps, Geneina town and surrounding villages. The exercise is considered a success despite some problems in two camps. Initial figures suggest that there will be a significant drop in the numbers of those registered for food aid. However, the registration team had to be pulled out of Krinding II due to a disruption during which a team member was hit on the head with a stick; the other members came out of the mélée unharmed. During the confusion, roughly 600 individual tokens were stolen, allegedly by the same Sheikh who assaulted the registration team member; the police intervened and the Sheikh was arrested. Another incident occurred in Riyad camp (East Sector) where, at the end of the registration process, a number of Sheikhs seemed unable or unwilling to control their people who were lining up with them, leading to some chaos and to the abandonment of the registration exercise. WFP estimates that about 85% of the population in East Riyad had been registered at the time the registration was abandoned. It remains to be seen if a repeat is necessary or whether the missed population can be identified later. Food/NFIs Khartoum • On 1 Sept., Care International and FAR conducted a distribution of plastic sheeting and poles to over 830 households (HH) forcibly relocated to El Fateh III, north of Omdurman. Further support to these relocated families has included the installation of five temporary water bladders (four 5000 litre and one 10,000 litre) by UNICEF in cooperation with WES. However, significant humanitarian needs remain unmet. The DSRSG/HC conducted a site visit over the weekend to assess the situation, including the humanitarian needs and response. Health North Darfur • UNFPA, WHO and Kuwaiti Patient Helping Fund (KPHF) conducted a joint Reproductive Health assessment in the Malha area on 27 Aug. Preliminary findings of the assessment indicate that there are serious gaps in the provision of medical services in the area. With an estimated population of about 63,000 individuals (including about 2,000 IDPs), there is only one medical assistant and a handful of village midwives available. Serious cases are referred to Melit which is six to seven hours walking distance away; in some cases the patients have to go to El Fasher Hospital. West Darfur • In Mukjar, an MSF-H rapid assessment conducted over the last week indicated that the reported cases of Acute Jaundice Syndrome were suspected to be of Hepatitis E origin. It is also reported that the majority of residents have no access to safe drinking water as many sources have been polluted by flooding rainwater. A small crisis cell has been put in place by Mercy Corps (MC) in Mukjar, including IRC, WFP, UNHCR, MoH and MSF-H. Access West Darfur • OCHA is presently working to create a broader humanitarian space in Jebel Marra, and further advocates an extended permanent relief presence in the area. Access to clean and available water appears to be the sector where intervention is most urgently needed. A Drilling Task Force meeting was organised by OCHA on 1 Sept. in Nertiti, attended by ICRC, NCA/ACT/CARITAS and UNICEF/WES from Zalingei, GOAL from Golo and Solidarites in Nertiti. The meeting resulted in a schedule of drilling activities to start in Nov., with GOAL/UNICEF/WES drilling 60 boreholes in the northern part of the Jebel Marra. An ongoing survey with ICRC is to be finalized in three weeks’ time and will include borehole drilling activities in the south-western part of the locality, including Golol and Thur. Solidarites and NCA/ACT/CARITAS will serve the axis between Nertiti and Thur, mainly in towns. Noteworthy is the fact that both the GoS and SLM/A authorities have agreed in principle to the project and promised their full support as the GOAL/UNICEF/WES project will cover localities in both controlled areas.

Vi har ju båda systemen egentligen... I "fredsorganisationen" finns enbart officerare men i "krigsorganisationen" och i Utlandsstyrkan finns uoff också, alltså ett tvåbefälssystem. I konsekvensens namn borde det inte vara något skillnad.

UNMIS Sitrep 27 & 28 August 2005 Key Developments:  On 27 Aug., President Bashir, after consultations with First Vice-President (FVP) Salva Kiir, issued two decrees. The first one deals with the convening of the interim National Assembly and the Council of the States on 31 Aug, while the second decree relates to selection of governors for the 13 Northern States.  On 27 Aug., FVP Salva Kiir, issued a decree establishing the Southern Sudan Constitutional Drafting Committee (SSCDC). The decree stipulates that a Secretariat shall be formed for the committee consisting of five members, three member from the SPLM/A, one member from the National Congress Party (NCP) and one member from the Southern political forces that are comprised of six political parties from the South. The decree further stipulates that the committee shall commence its work immediately in Rumbek and shall finalize its task in a period not exceeding three weeks. Political • AU mediator Salim Ahmed Salim is due in Sudan from 30 Aug. to discuss the next round of peace talks in Abuja. UN Police: • UN Police discussed with UNDP the logistical constraints hindering the implementation of GoS Police training plans. Malakal Police training school was later visited and the training facilities were re-assessed. Another meeting with the GoS Police and UNDP has been arranged. • UN Police discussed the repairs and provision of amenities to Kadugli Police Training School with UNDP. It was agreed that UNDP will fund the proposed refresher course for SPLM/A and GOS police officers. Khartoum Protection • Further to the forced displacement of several hundred families from Shikan to El Fateh III camp near Khartoum during 16-18 Aug., new families continue to arrive at El Fatah, claiming that they have been forcibly relocated by the GoS from areas around Omdurman during the past week. All reported that they were given no prior notice by the police, and that they were not advised that they would be allocated a plot of land in El Fateh III, unlike those displaced from Shikan camp. Human Rights • On 27 Aug., the Human Rights Unit provided training to 15 UN Police in Khartoum. The training provided an introduction to international human rights standards and the mandate and activities of the Human Rights Unit. South Sudan Security • The local police in Juba has clarified that the shooting incident of 25 Aug., close to the temporary Bangladeshi TCC Camp, situated at the bank of the Nile, came from the Gondokoro village, which is located on an island of the river Nile. The island is inhabited by Bari tribes, who have a self-defence force that is armed and independent. No one was hurt in the incident, which is under investigation by local police. • On 27 Aug., demonstrations were held by students in the compound of the University at El Obeid. During the demonstrations, the Students Supply Office was partly burnt down by demonstrators. However, local Police managed to control the situation. It appears that false promises, the increasing inflation rate and high prices of goods were the reasons for the protest. Civil Affairs • On 26 Aug, CA in Juba met with James Kok Ruea, Director-General of the SPLM/A Peace and Reconciliation Commission regarding the need for the incoming government to support local reconciliation efforts, especially in the former GoS held towns. The Director-General agreed that there is an immediate need for reconciliation between the Muslim and Christian communities, including the Southern Christian community and to prepare communities such as Juba to accommodate returnees. • In a meeting on 26 Aug. with Moro chiefs who currently live in an IDP camp on the outskirts of Juba town on 26 Aug, CA learnt that an estimated 5,000 displaced Moro are in Juba. Most of whom fled Mundri town in 1991. The chiefs urged the UN to open the Juba-Yei road so people can return to Mundri. The IDPs do not expect land disputes to arise upon their return given that land has not been claimed by other parties. However, the Chief expressed concern about the movement of pastoralists from the Dinka Bor tribe eastwards to Jonglei, and the problems this causes Moro agriculturalists. Further problems are expected due to the appointment of some of the Moro Chiefs by the GoS who are not perceived as legitimate in the eyes of the population according to the Chief. North Darfur Security • On 26 Aug., there was an alleged shooting at the IDP market in Kabkabiya by armed militia. No injuries or casualties were reported. Humanitarians • An INGO started a food distribution in Shangil Tobayi town and IDP camp, and Shadad camp on 28 Aug. South Darfur Security • A series of incidents was reported over the last days in the north-east of South Darfur, including various lootings of commercial trucks, unconfirmed attacks on 23 Aug. on two villages 10 km south of, and two villages 10 km west of Mershing, and an ambush on a GoS military convoy on 24 Aug. whereby five GoS soldiers were reportedly killed. UN Military Sector II (Wau) • During a patrol, 52 km West of Wau, the Sector participated in an aid distribution to Gitan village. The distribution was coordinated with two INGOs. Sector VI (Abyei) • A long-range patrol could not be undertaken due to absence of a protection force in the area. Moreover, some security hazards on the road between Diffra and Muglad are also impeding UNMOs patrol activities in Muglad and adjacent areas. Likewise, no patrol was conducted 26 Aug. due to difficult weather conditions.

Khartoum 5 augusti 2005. Hej! Skall försöka pränta ner några rader om livet härnere. Den här första veckan i augusti har varit mycket jobbig. Sista helgen i juli var precis som alla andra helger härnere sedan jag kom ner 12 juni; händelsefattig. Vid frukost på måndag 1 augusti hörde vi att vicepresidenten Garangs helikopter hade störtat i Uganda i dåligt väder under söndagen. Ingen visste hur det var med Garang men han befarades död vilket bekräftades under måndagen. Den nytillträdde vicepresidentens död fick många att ifrågasätta fredsprocessen och i sorg och ilska gå ut på gatorna och slå sönder bilar, skyltfönster, sätta eld på saker o ting. Vad FN beträffar så har vi aldrig varit ett mål för upploppen men vår frihet att röra oss i staden begränsades av säkerhetsskäl. Det är aldrig hälsosamt att befinna sig mitt i ett pågående upplopp eller en våldsam demonstration. Folk har skjutits, klubbats eller stuckits ihjäl. Polis och militär har skjutit skarpt för att hålla situationen under kontroll. Här nere betyder det automateld över folks huvuden… Kanadensiska ambassaden fick ”hjälp” med trädbeskärningen på det sättet… Under de här dagarna har cirka 150 människor dödats och flera hundra dödats här i Khartoum. Våldsamma upplopp har också ägt rum i Garangs hemprovins i södern. Juba och Malakal har varit hårt drabbat men också i Kadugli har det varit upplopp och folk dödats. Rykten i Juba har gjort gällande att folkmord har skett i Khartoum; folk har hört folk som hört andra säga att de sätt liken efter 15000 dödade i Khartoum. Fullständigt osant men den typen av rykten sätter känslorna i svallning och spär på misstron mellan nord- och sydsudanseser. Redan andra dagen av upplopp kunde ett mönster skönjas: lugn på morgonen och förmiddagstimmarna, lite hetare efter klockan ett och full rulle från halv två på eftermiddagen… Utegångsförbudet som första dygnet var mellan 18-6, ändrades dygn två till 19-6 och därpå 21-6. Idag fredag är det helg här i Khartoum och vi räknar med en lugn dag, insh´allah. På lördag begravs John Garang i Juba och förhoppningsvis lugnar läget ner sig efter det. Det är i alla fall vad FN härnere hoppas. Hur har vi det annars härnere då? Normalt alltså… Hittills har vi bott på hotell här i Khartoum, Palace (som jag bor på) eller Meridien nere i centrum. Meridien kommer troligtvis att överges som förläggningsplats på grund av de senaste dagarnas händelser. Palace ligger på norra sidan av Nilen och enda nackdelen är väl att all passage över Nilen sker på två broar som kan stängas för trafik vid nödläge (som skedde i måndags…). FN-högkvarteret och flygplatsen ligger självfallet på andra sidan Nilen från Palace räknat… Palace är ett rätt slitet hotell, byggt av kineser för länge sedan. Blandningen av kinesiskt och arabiskt är tydligt, bland annat i vår matsal. Vi äter alla måltider utom lunchen i en matsal som avsatts enbart för oss. Lite enahanda (kyckling, pasta, ris, grönsaker; varvat med fisk, pasta, ris, grönsaker eller lamm, pasta, ris, grönsaker…) men fullt acceptabelt. Lunch köper vi själva nere på jobbet eller här på hotellet om man har en ledig dag. Officerarna bor i enrum medan resten av oss delar rum. Jag bor ihop med en rumänsk sergeant som jobbar med datorer. Standarden är enkel (vårt rum saknade skåp och hyllor säkert en månad) men klart bättre än att behöva bo i tält. Hotellet är i klart behov av renovering vilket man har börjat med. Det är en rik saudier som köpt hotellet. Hur många hotell han har vet han visst inte… Från vårt rum ser vi ut över Nilen och presidentpalatset på andra sidan. Presidentpalatset är visst samma ställe som den brittiske guvernören hade som residens och samma ställe där Gordon Pascha dödades under Mahdi-upproret på 1800-talet. En del av soldaterna flyttade ut i slutet av juli till den italienska campen som byggts upp i närheten av flygplatsen. Meningen är att alla skall dit på sikt. Därute är det tältförläggning med ca 8 i varje tält. Det är meningen att all FN-personal hamnar där i slutet av oktober. Vi åker visst hem då… Från det jag kom ner 12 juni har det varit jättevarmt (runt 40+) hela tiden. 19/8 var det 48.5C... Nu har det också blivit fuktigt i luften… Ibland bryter ett rejält åskväder ut då regnar det rejält! Av och till rullar sandstormar (haboobs) in över staden. Nilen har stigit ordentligt de senaste veckorna på grund av det myckna regnandet i södern. Därnere är klimatet behagligare, grönare men också regnigare. Vi har en svensk därnere i Juba men han är hemma i Sverige på leave (semester) nu. Hälsomässigt har vi klarat oss från allvarligare krämpor hittills. Magen har gjort sig påmind för oss alla. Såkallad jalla-mage kan man inte komma undan… Det är bara att hålla sig när en toalett med gott om papper så ordnar det sig… Myggorna börjar bli irriterande många även häruppe i Khartoum och jag har blivit biten säkert 20 gånger trots myggmedel etc. Vi äter dock motmedel mot malaria, Lariam, så det borde funka. Det har gått ett par veckor sedan jag blev biten senast och det tar visst 10-12 dagar att utveckla malaria så jag känner mig säker. På måndag är det dags för den veckans malariatablett. M-day is malariaday! Vad jobbar jag med då? Jag är stabsassistent på UNMIS Ops, Operations Centre. Där är det meningen att vi skall hålla koll på läget inom FNs ansvarsområde; de 7 sektorerna. Vi planerar för utplaceringen av fler FN-soldater i området också men regnandet har gjort att det inte är realistiskt att räkna med någon större aktivitet förrän i november… Jag är närmaste chef för 4 danska assistenter och en pakistansk sergeant. Ett tag hoppade jag in som ersättare för en finsk officer när han var hemma i Finland. Då jobbade jag som vakthavande befäl i rotation med en kanadensisk kapten och en rumänsk major. Nu sedan en vecka tillbaka jobbar jag som administrativ chef för Ops och har flyttat runt folk och möbler i vänstervarv… Jag slipper i alla fall jobba nätter. Vi har en indisk överste som chef men han åker hem vilken vecka som helst och en ny indier (Sikh) kommer istället. Vi har en ny brittisk överstelöjtnant som vill ändra på det mesta (därav folk- och möbelflytten) ytterligare en britt och två finnar, en kanadensare och en rumän. Två jordanier har också arbetsplatser inne på Ops. Vi har 6-dagars arbetsvecka, 8-18. Undantaget de som jobbar skift och om läget inte medger längre ledigheter. Enligt FN så har jag rätt till 2,5 dagar per månad (leave) och jag har rätt att ta ut 11 dagar. Jag kommer troligtvis att ta ut dessa i september men vet inte vart än. Normalt sett så är man alltid ute på 6 månader men eftersom det dröjde med beslut i mitt fall så blir det bara 4 månader. Det räcker och blir över anser jag. Här nere finns järnväg (ej elektrifierat) men den är i ett uselt skick. Jag har dock sett en del godståg rulla in på Khartoums bangård i sakta mak. Vi åker över en järnvägsbro ibland och passerar också järnvägskorsningar. Semaforer används (?) fortfarande och växlarna verkar vara linstyrda. Spårläget är bedrövligt; förstår att de kör bussakta. På bangården vallas både kor och getter… Försvarsmakten har varit snälla nog att skicka med oss några bärbara datorer så vi slipper skriva med icke-svenska tangentbord. Lite snällare för eventuella läsare i alla fall… Hoppas att ni har det bra därhemma i sommarvädret (vilket det nu är…). Jag längtar faktiskt hem till höstrusket och vinterstormarna men mest längtar jag faktiskt efter ett glas kallt vitt vin! Ta vara på er så ses vi till hösten!
