Oui, Mrrzy, ca va tres bien merci! Mon epoux continue a avoir les soucis pour sa famille, mais pour le moment, on se debrouille la-bas. We're stuck because all Western Union offices are, naturally, closed for fear of looting, so we can't send our usual financial help. The price of rice is rocketing. Also his blind uncle was due to have cataracts removed over in Mali, but of course no-one is travelling across borders by bus, it would be suicidal. The whole country is slowly grinding to a halt. My husband's younger brothers are continually confined to the family yard as 'soldiers' (drugged-up partisans) are going around grabbing young men and shooting them for no reason at all. They've even been breaking into family yards at night and robbing. Where will all this end?
