I got an email from Habiba & Wubshet yesterday, and we just got off the phone together today.
Good news from Gambella!
It seems the Kenyan government has arrested a number of people who were funding and fueling the attacks on Gambella and several other villages.
Gambella, and the area, has been at peace now for a few weeks. And the Gambellans are redoubling their efforts on their development projects.
Here's an excerpt from Habiba's email:
"We had faced the greatest challenge of this project since the fighting all the way until recent when the PC of eastern province come down, and had to arrest many people and now things coming back to normal. The project was moving quite slow because we felt our own life might at risk and Gambella advise us to be careful. But now we have resume our normal program, and people are coming back to the village."
Gambella has been extremely grateful for all the GHNI partners. Thanks to all of you who sent contributions for their recovery!
I'll keep you posted.
