rainrain go away!

who ever thought africa is a hot country and it never rains.... that is so not true! uganda not only has a very active rainy season (which is apparently on now), but also saw the heaviest rainfalls in the last generation. just as everywhere in east & we(s)t africa. and that heavily hit the poor people upcountry, where mudhouses are flodded and collapsing, streets are washed, harvest is destroyed, and even simple things such as hose and racks are flodded away, leaving the households with nothing. 400.000 people in northern uganda are affected.
and they even move back to their IDP (internal displaced person) camps, which they just left the last months during peace process, seeking shelter and relief services (such as boats!).


while i am blogging this, i am sitting in a nice Wlan cafe, with the name: CATCH THE SUN, what a contradiction! outside its raining and raining....
