I'm SO glad my Great Auntie is out of there...

he UN mission to South Sudan has condemned Thursday's attack on its base in which two Indian peacekeepers and at least 11 civilians were killed.

Unmiss said the perpetrators of the "heinous crime" in Akobo, Jonglei state, must be brought to justice.

A similar attack is feared at another UN base where several thousand armed youths are reported to have gathered.

Clashes began in South Sudan when President Salva Kiir accused his ex-deputy of a failed coup a week ago.

Sudan has been and remains a fire storm area ~ I confess I don't know enough about it to know why, or what [if anything] can make a difference there ~

I'm very glad your great aunt is out of there too, Chaos ~ where is she these days?

Her "official post" is in the Netherlands (her home country) now, and she has the little country house in France, but she still travels all over the globe. Sent me a post card from Singapore not long ago. lol

She says that the last of the Dutch embassy employees were airlifted out of Juba this week. <whew!>

That whole region is a collection of failed states and it has been that way to varying degrees for centuries.

Drone attacks are a great contribution to the stability of the area.
