My dinner in Aweil
Last time when I came to Aweil, my colleague introduced me a very nice local bakery which is just 3 min walk from our office.
So this time, I decided to come to Aweil with Cheese and canned fish for my sandwich with the locally-made fresh bread!
I'm ready for field trip tomorrow after almost 4 hrs discussion with an engineer!

World Refugee Day at Gorom Refugee Settlement (Annuak Refugee from Ethiopia)
Today, it was World Refugee Day.
and with Nuba Refugees in town in the afternoon.
For me, what always encourages me is that we have many colleague at UNHCR who used to be refugees in the past. It is very encouraging and bright message than anything - they became UNHCR staff because they were supported by UNHCR in the past and they want to return the same to someone who is now a refugee.
No one chooses to be a refugee.

A stone??
Antibiotics |
Painkiller |
I suffered from severe pain at my upper stomach and high fever last night.
And I went to see doctor to find out what it is.
Then, a doctor had suspected "acute cholecystitis"(I didn't know what it means and asked my friend to find out what it is in Japanese - "kyu-sei tannou en") but it turned out it was not after another doctor from UNMISS clinic checked ultrasound.
And the doctor explained it must be infection again... but not exactly where and what kind of infection... (sure??)
So I started to take antibiotics and pain killer from tonight. Should I go back to Japan to see a doctor??

Transit site in Capri
I never blogged about but there has been a highlight in our operation during past one month.
It is massive airlifted return movement from Khartoum directly to Juba.
To temporary accommodate those returnees who needs to travel again to their village from Juba, government/UNHCR/IOM opened a transit site in Capri(outskirt of Juba) together with partners.
First batch of airlifted return movement had been over last week but another batch of movement started this week.
Wishing their safe journey to their home land before the strong rain hamper their travel.

Farewell dinner at River Nile
Last night, we had a farewell dinner for JP intelligence team who were working for UNMISS(PKO mission in South Sudan) as secondment.
They were the first JP deployment for UNMISS from Japan. After 6 months, they rotate the staff member and now it's time for the first team to go back to Japan.
For me, since it is my first experience to see Japanese deployment for PKO mission on the site, it has been quite good experience to learn how it works, even seeing from outside.
Especially the collaboration project with Japanese Self Defense Force(Jieitai) as part of UNMISS, it has been quite enriching experience for me to learn how such joint project with external organization works by hands-on.
Most of my energy is now spent for logistical arrangement though...
