now what?

new posts should be coming soon. good stuff, too, i swear. maybe even audio and video.

but! until then, i thought i'd post a link to a washington post story from a couple years ago. it's a first-person account of a journalist caught up in khartoum's crazy bureaucracy for an entire day.

i haven't been detained by police -- at least not yet -- but the experience is still pretty true to the way things work in sudan. whether you're being interrogated or you just want to get a photo permit, you're politely shuffled from office to office, offered drink after drink, and often left without any idea of what's going on or what comes next.
