If you go in on
"dagbladet" (norwegian newspaper) you can watch some of the riots which took place in the Central prison in Kisangani. Josh and Mike were able to videofilm some of it.
They were not on any flight to Kinshasa today as no regular flights go on Thursdays. This the Congolese authorities ought to have known. Now they are supposed to go tomorrow. According to information I have received foreign minister Støre from Norway met with his British colleague yesterday in London and one of the topics was the situation of the two Norwegian prisoners. Josh is also a Briton.
It is not without risk to be moved to another prison and start anew to find your place in the hierarki etc. I do hope both the Norwegian and British authorities realize this.
