Everyone has been silenced. There are a number of different nicknames for the president. No one speaks his name. There is uncertainty regarding who is to blame. And everybody knows that something is wrong.
Nobody really knows why the bombs are being dropped.
Everybody agrees it is wrong and knows it is against international law. The connection between the stopping of the bombing and the reaction of the people is not clear. The decisions will in any event be made independently of those suffering. I was pleased about the miserable weather and that no air raid alarm had sounded. We visited a relative in another part of town.
