Bunge Chronicles: MPs cry out for freedom and chance to hug

Tuesday for our wahesh of the National Assembly felt like school opening day. Fresh from recess, they were itching to apprise each other of their mischief. But there was no one to tell of all their escapades--well, no one close enough.

The country is open, the curfew is history. People can once again feel each other’s warmth inside public transport. Everyone else is free except our wahesh, who are still bound by laws that say they can’t come too close to each other.
