Default Kinshasa under fire!

Damn!

The story is already on BBC (they have a reporter in the town). The
report said that there was one dead soldier and two wounded. It was
supposedly a coup attempt.

Whenever the bullets are flying by, I suggest that you think about all
the upcoming fishing trips and keep you head down.



The 'official' word is one dead soldier, one wounded. But there was
apparently one casualty outside my school (our guards reported seeing it),
and another downtown by the South African embassy. Apparently, one of the
VPs is connected to this.

And just now, as I'm writing this, a round of heavy artillery just went off
at the camp across the street. Any idea the name of the BBC reporter in
town?
