unrest in ouaga

Just jotting down a couple notes before dashing out the door....

There appears to be more unrest in Ouagadougou today. Earlier today there were shots fired at the presidential palace, and rumour has it that Blaise Compaoré has fled.
The military are reported to be seeking their backpay. Others suspect this is an attempted coup d'état. Thus far it appears this poses no threat to civilians although there is a curfew in place.

Therese's surgery went well, but she continues to need prayers for healing, rest and comfort during this difficult stage.
