Important update: 12 April 2010
According to the program director...
"Tribal leaders met yesterday and made what is known in Arabic as “3’tweh” عطؤة Which is a formal method of resolving conflicts between tribes involving the tribal elders. A decision was reached in this meeting and apparently an agreement was signed. The calm today suggests that this agreement has been accepted and will hold. These systems are both ancient and enduring within the society and widely accepted by members of the rival tribes. I anticipate that the calm will continue. I encourage you to discuss these issues with your instructors in order to gain a better understanding of what took place over the last few days."
