So the UNV program after a hiccup or two decided to send me to Sudan. Awesome, since I've wanted to do some hard challenging work in the field. Now everyone is talking about obstruction by the Sudanese of UNAMID deployment. Wasn't entirely clear on what they meant until the embassy of Sudan refused to give me a visa without paying. I wouldn't have thought twice about it (that's how desperate I am to get out of the US right now) but when I checked with UNV they told me not to pay under any circumstances. Must be the principle... great. They tell me they're going to file a complaint with Sudan's MFA. I'm not even there yet and already I'm causing problems.
Good times...
