28th of September

I got news last WE from the sanctuary:
- Fatim is doing great, her health is improving day after day. We all hope that the herbal medicines will help her to cop with the long treatment this time.
- Robert and Albert were patroling without the females the last few days but they were coming back where the 3 females are (Lottie, Mama and Nanou). Maybe the females are pregnant and the big boys are looking for other females?
And for the bad news : there were sad events in Conakry on Monday. People demonstrated to call for free democratic presidential elections in January 2010… A lot of people were killed. I am in contact with our friends in Conakry, they are safe and OK, except for one who was injured (bayonet wound!!!) during the demonstration but he came back home today. We all hope he will be fine. There are still some demonstrations in some areas of Conakry, the atmosphere seems to stay electric.
Everybody is safe at the sanctuary as it is remote and the events are happening only in Conakry - for the moment. We all wait now to see how the situation will evolve… We are very sad for all the poor people who died on Monday and yesterday and we hope Guinea will finaly find the democratic and peaceful way it deserves!
Take care.
Chris

Ive been reading about the violent events there in the media. It is very sad news, and I hope it does not interrupt your operations. I also hope all of your family and friends are safe.

nous esperons tous quela situation va se calmer, les africains ont déjà tant de difficultés, pourquoi faut-il qu’ils aient en plus des fous furieux qui prennent le pouvoir et qui les entrainent dans des violences inouies.
Espérons que le sanctuaire n’aura pas à souffrir d ces événements et que les volontaires pourront effectuer les rotations prévues…..courage à tous
