the special forces guys were actually looking out for us

the demonstration was against low wages and was all black folks so it was best that we not be there. It turned out the demonstration was peaceful, which we found out later. I was supposed to alert all the guys to get their stuff packed and down to the restaurant for a quickie breakfast and all was fine except for Huey roaming around the halls at 4:30 or so. That will teach him to be an early bird. They banged on my door about 5 AM to get all the guys up and ready to leave and that went pretty peaceful. In 14 trips to Africa we have never had any problems at all, and this was just a small distraction.
