Good News for Gambella!

We have received word that the Kenyan government has arrested a number of regional government leaders, who were behind the attack on Gambella (as well as other, similar attacks in the region).  These leaders were arming men to steal and kill, in order to get livestock and food, for the purpose of furthering their political standing.

After the arrests, the Gambellans are once again feeling safe, and are hard at work on their development projects.
