A quiet day – I finished my sewing project, knitted another baby hat and started another knitting project while letting Axel doing all the cooking. It was another beautiful and quiet day in Kabul while outside in the provinces bad things continue to happen.
The Dutch aid worker who was kidnapped over a month ago in Kunduz has still not been found. I learned today that he, his wife and two small children were living in Kunduz until quite recently. When things began to deteriorate in the province he took his family back to Holland and returned to close the project down. He had succeeded in doing so and was on his way to the airport when he got kidnapped. We hope that the quiet diplomacy will lead to a good outcome.
In another province armed men attacked a clinic, tied the hands of the 2 guards, tried to steal the clinic’s solar panels. When they could not unbolt them they smashed the panels and left, taking the clinic’s generator and the guards who were were released later. The advise of the security folks is to bolt one’s solar panels tightly to the roof. The clinic had done precisely that.
