Enjoying a lovely, relaxing day after a full-on week. Emergency response for IDPs complete but not without considerable challenges including theft of one packet of cash (inside job) and a disgruntled chief who wanted money from us for doing his job. Principles went out the door when a local staff member paid the guy with his own money when I was explaining we couldn't pay him but would consider his complaint. Tough to trust anyone here which is a shame and makes work difficult. I'm currently reading Michela Wrong's book In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz which rings so true when it comes to understanding the way things are in the Congo. At least for a day I can forget all that and just chill.
