Thursday, 22 July

Today I went with a delegation from the United Nations in Uganda to a town 2 hours south of Beni, called Butembo. The visit was to prepare for the disarmament, demobilisation and repatriation of Ugandan troops operating in Congo. The 50km journey took about 2 hours along one of the better roads in Congo. On the way back it began to rain quite heavily making the road very muddy and the going slow - especially high up in the mountains...
Here is a picture of us on the road:

These are some pictures of a village that we stopped in on the journey:
