I am deliberately waiting until Monday to write these lines because it started raining in the neighboring country on Sunday after a very long, dry season. Most people expected river levels to rise, and that is exactly what happened. The river began to rise, and with it came the hope that the flood would bring […]

Only on the absolutely unavoidable. And even that, without focus. And yet, focus is exactly what would be needed.
