Give Peace a Chance

I just read about an explosion in the capital of Ethiopia, supposedly linked to Eritrea (the country bordering Ethiopia to the north). Tensions have been growing over a border dispute between the two countries over the past few months but to date, most reported violence has been isolated to the northern border. Reports say a bus was bombed in the capital city of Addis Ababa and is purported to be planted by Eritrean agents. Eight people were killed and 27 injured. Not only does this raise concerns about safety of travel, but if violence escalates there is always the potential for adoptions to be temporarily ceased. Needless to say, we wish for peace for the people of this country and pray that not only will Ethiopians and Eritreans come to a peaceful resolve but also that our adoption will not be affected.
