Muyinga, Burundi

I'm on an ICMC deployment for 3 months to set up a process of best interest determination for unaccompanied Congolese refugee children here in Burundi...

Hibiscus in Muyinga, Burundi

late afternoon in Bujumbura and an exquisitely cool pool and well placed chair to dry off in the evening sun... bliss! — in Muyinga, Burundi.

early morning mists across the hills towards Tanzania — in Muyinga, Burundi.

setting sun at the Congolese refugee camp at Gasorwe, Muyinga — in Muyinga, Burundi.

 

after trailing behind this truck and the cyclist hanging onto the back for some miles we finally managed to overtake... so I grabbed this shot of the cyclist and his unfortunate passengers... their fate pretty certain on this first day of Ramadan! — in Muyinga, Burundi.

late Sunday afternoon stroll in downtown Muyinga! — in Muyinga, Burundi.

en route from Muyinga to Bujumbura... a land of interminable bends in the road! Although not far, and the countryside absolutely stunning, its an exhausting journey as each bend brings the possibility of a collision, as so many drivers like to keep to the middle of the road! — in Muyinga, Burundi.

roadside laundrette... — in Muyinga, Burundi.

soldiers hitching a ride in the back of a truck filled with bamboo... — in Muyinga, Burundi.

a common sight on this road, men struggling to push a bicycle laden with sacks of charcoal up the steep hills... — in Muyinga, Burundi.
