Following a lead, I drove out for Dogon Village today. It’s a small community to the northwest of Port Selao. I had it on good authority that a major weapons stockpile was there. This was a key hub for both the APR and the UFLL. I needed to check it out.
Two hours at this and I feel like I have only 2 good questions for my final meeting with the Jackal. There are days I feel like a writer and other days, like today, where English feels like a foreign language. I’m not sure what to expect from this interview, but my gut tells me this will be significant. The Jackal made a point of declaring this the final one. Perhaps he’ll give me a window into his grand plan…if there is one.
It’s
official. The African Union (AU) has sealed the borders into
neighbouring countries. Now only people travelling with proper letters
of transit will be allowed to leave. On the one hand, this is no
surprise. Even though the AU has left the country, they’re still trying
to control the flow of illegal weapons, and to stop any new mercenaries
from slipping across the border. On the other hand, there are thousands
of innocent people left behind who are desperate for a way out.
