Yesterday, ambassadors and representatives of the UN Security Council countries visited UNAMID. Heavy security, close protection, kevlar vests, armored cars and a lot of sun and sand. Waiting for the VIPs to arrive, I suddenly realized all that just became part of a routine. It’s still fun, challenging and exciting but it’s just normal. Just another long day under the sun in Darfur.
