Okay, so it’s not a pig. But isn’t this silly and sad at the same time? The cow is skinny and tired enough that it’s okay with sitting down for the ride to the market. What self respecting cow would put up with being in such a contraption if she had the strength to fight it? This particular cow will probably be in people’s cooking pots tomorrow. The Fulani are the ones who are the cattle herders around here, and because they are far from the lush grazing of C.A.R., their cattle are dying of hunger. This comes on top of their having lost their homes and possessions and in many cases family and friends. Their cattle are the center of their lives. Pray that peace and healing and reconciliation might come quickly, that the Fulani would be again welcome and safe in C.A.R.
