After local elections in Jos on Thursday, 27 November, riots broke out between Muslim and Christians because of unhappiness about the results in the early hours of Friday. School was cancelled on Friday and th area has been unstable since then. Our hospital was in the middle of much "noise". We evacuated by noon to another part of town that was quieter and safer. We returned to our house by Sunday. Things seemed quiet but losts of rumors were circulating and the decision was made to leave our compound again. We are about 45 minutes out of town and do not hear any gun fire from here.
I am sleeping better and not quite as jumpy. You know you are in a difficult spot when you tell your 8 year old that he can play outside but please come back into the house if you hear gun fire!!!
We hope to return to our house on Tuesday. Continue to pray for peace in Jos, Nigeria.
