“I have lived here for a long time. I moved here from Wila - not far. I came to escape the fighting during the 1985 civil war. It was not easy coming here, I had to run through the bush. I had torn skin and clothes. I arrived with nothing, not even a change of clothes. I didn’t know anybody when I arrived. The first night I arrived I slept in the primary school, I spent one month there and then I built a house. Now I work in people’s gardens which I use to buy food. I alternate work and rest days. Today is a rest day. I am appreciating the hygiene education process. The compounds are clean, the smell is gone, the air is clean, everything is better. Before the latrine, the children used to go everywhere- the smell was so bad you couldn’t sit anywhere. You would be chased out by the smell in one minute!”

The Arctic 160 years ago today: Amur Acquisition (13 Aug 1859) https://buff.ly/2YLPKmb Russian expeditions and settlers had been infiltrating China's Amur region since the late 1840s. After the Crimean War exposed the vulnerability of Russia's Pacific possessions to naval attack, the Tsar agreed to back these settlements to consolidate power in the Far East. Taking advantage of China's embroilment in the Second Opium War, the Russians managed to persuade the Chinese to cede first the land to the north of the Amur River then, after negotiations between the Chinese and the Allies briefly broke down, the land to the south (Primorye). #arctic #history #welovehistory #map #1850s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1859 #allies #amur #august #august13 #amuria #russianfareast #chineseempire #qingdynasty #russianempire #britishempire #opiumwar #khabarovsk #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #geopolitics (at Khabarovsk, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GLmjJgUlb/?igshid=1xyqw4codt20z
