It was going on 3 pm, just before reaching Dara, when about ten jihadists suddenly stood on the road in front of them, rifles as well as rocket launchers pointed at our car. Moussa wanted to hit the gas to try to get away but Paul told him to simply stop the car. The three men got out of the car and were led to a place nearby where the jihadists put them under the cover of trees.
Day 2627. After a one week fall holiday, this is week 8 of the school year. But Monday was still a school holiday, though not a public holiday. However, there was no sleeping in for me. I set my alarm for 8:45 am as we had a guy coming to clean the house at 9 am.
Day 2624. On Friday I also taught from 10 am to noon, then I went to the kitchen to cook lunch. In the afternoon, I was supposed to teach from 3 to 4 and 6 to 7 pm but my first student canceled. Randy took the kids to the playground where they had fun. Tammy likes playing in the sand, and she played together with Sammy.
