Joseph Kony has diarrhoea.

That’s right. So yesterday I ran all around town getting my visa for Southern Sudan, airplane ticket to Juba, US dollars to pay for said visa, Western Union to get money from AP to pay for said plane ticket, etc.

And then this morning, all bright eyed and starry and ready to head off to Juba, I get a phone call.

Joseph Kony has diarrhea.

My life will be on hold until his intestinal difficulties clear up. And then I’ll leave for Juba on a moments’ notice.

They should give him some Immodium and a pen to sign the peace deal so I can take my photo. I have considered giving this advice to the Southern Sudanese government officials arranging all activities, but it’s damn hard to get a phone line to Juba. However, if I get through, I will agree to personally donate enough Immodium to get JoKo through the proceedings.
