I was in my room studying today when I heard a loud noise. I immediately recognized it as gunfire. It was followed by a second, and then a third. While I wasn't frightened, I was definitely curious to know what was going on. I got up and opened the door to my room and stepped out a few feet towards the office area. I saw James standing there with a couple of other Sudanese staff members. Before I could even ask he was telling me that he knew what I was going to ask. I asked anyway. "I heard three gunshots. What's that all about?" As one of the other guys was saying something about a military funeral nearby, James said the funniest thing. "Jon, in Nimule gunshots are like... like whistling." I laughed... kind of.
