This story on Global Voices Online has just come to my attention… it has been a busy time so I don’t get to see everything in the press. Ndesanjo Macha wrote a great story about how the Rangers in Congo are blogging from Virunga National Park about their work to protect the mountain gorillas, hippos, elephants and other wildlife that is gradually returning after the country’s civil war. Thank you Ndesanjo. Click on the picture below and you will see the whole story.

I was sent the link below last week by friends of mine. This was done by a photographer, Georgina, who came to Congo a couple of months ago. We spent time with her up at Camp Karema with Augustin., right when we were just starting up there. Augustin as you know is the head of the patrol post at Bukima, and has been leading the patrols today and yesterday to identify the individuals of the Kabirizi family. I am sure you have all been following the atrocious events on Paulin’s blog - of the killing of Rubiga and the orphan Ndakasi.
It has been a really hectic few days and I am reeling somewhat. I know Paulin will be updating his blog later on today, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the support I have received over recent days in relation to this brutal slaying. Thank you also for the donations.
