Disappointing is hardly the word

Yesterday I reached Goz Amir as news of the long awaited ICC 'indictment' spread through the camp. You could hear singing and the sound of drums. To say the refugees were happy is an understatement. They laughed, they cheered, they wept, they danced and sang. Huge gatherings celebrated throughout the camp. I wanted to spend the night in the camp and party through the night, and the Oumda Af-Fatih said I could stay at his home. I asked but security regulations do not permit that.

I was still elated when I returned to Koukou and got on line. I saw the ICC statement, denying they had reached a decision.

I'm glad I wasn't in the camp.
