Roadblocks

This is the annoying thing about situations like this. The army is just doing its job. Trying to make sure the shebab (young men who tend to hang out in the streets) don’t kill each other. But in getting to my tutee today, we had to go down five different streets, because they were all blocked off.

We all watch TV constantly or listen to the radio (because there’s no electricity half the time) to see if we can leave the house and get to our various jobs. Is the event I was supposed to cover for LAU still happening tomorrow? Doubtfully. You can never plan anything in this country.
