post procrastination mode

A friend of mine who lives in Khartoum, and I have been talking about writing a joint blog on our day to day experiences in Juba and Khartoum. We’ve been talking about since I first moved to Juba in 2009 and now, after a lot of procrastination, here we are.       I think this is happening at such an appropriate moment. Experiencing the transition from being one country of shared resources, to two countries with an acrimonious relationship. Writing about the economic impact of losing a major source of income, and how it affects life on the daily grind is I think important- especially since its so difficult to filter our reality vs propaganda we get on the news. Hopefully it wont take us another 3 years to really get going!
