Dec 2 - New President

Since we had no power and since it was too hot to sleep, I was awake to hear the sudden screams of people celebrating outside on the street about 12:45am.  As I suspected, the Guinean Supreme Court had finally ruled on the challenges to the Presidential election and declared Alpha Conde to be the new President.  A few minutes later the power miraculously came back on.  Hmmmm.  Anyway, congratulations to Guinea's new (and 1st democratically elected) President and thank GOD for electricity and water!
