What am I describing? My daily pains with the United Nations over here or the fun Maro and I had visiting a lovely chimpanzee sanctuary up in the hills behind Freetown?Let's focus on the latter. The picture to the left is of Jimmy, one of the 99 chimps rescued from captivity in Sierra Leone and released in this beautiful preserve. They are fenced in, but (outside qurantine) it's a 50 acre, man-free zone. However, I think they found Maro highly entertaining, so they came right out to see us, screaming their hellos.Hereis a video of our day for your amusement.And that UN business? In end-of-tether despair (and because it's not entirely their fault), thisletterfound it's way into the Guardian at the weekend.
