Palaver

Good morning Your Excellencies Salva Kiir and Omar Al Bashir. Hope you had a good night’s rest. Before you embark on your very important job of counting the oil barrels that were filled last night, there is the small matter of the 10,000 of your folks stranded near Renk, along the south-north border. There are also the 33,000 returnees languishing in Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei and Lake States. Sorry to keep you waiting, Your Excellencies. Word just reached us that the UN’s International Organisation for Migration, Plan International and the Kenya Government will take care of that small detail. After all, that is what you pay them to do, isn’t it? Have a fine day Your Excellencies.
