Delayed

The deputy governor promised me last week, that he would have a document ready to hand over to us today, on Monday. When we called him today, however, he said that the paper wasn't ready yet, and that we would have to call him back in two days time. After that phone call I had the IP call the mayor of Aybak, but his excuse was that he was away to Mazar-e Sharif for two days on some kind of seminar. I would not have been surprised to see the mayor shopping in the bazaar in Aybak had we gone to the city. We then tried to call the prosecutor's office and the IEC (Independent Election Committee) to schedule a meeting, because they had both tried to make and appointment with us in the past weeks, but neither one was available. The OCCP mentoring team went to the OCCP meeting and then left for CNL to escort an MMT (Mobile Medical Team) to us. The swedish medics will stay with us for a while and support us with their capabilities. MOT E came back from their patrol to Firuz Nakhchir with a malfunctioning vehicle for the umpteenth time. They've had incredibly bad luck with their cars, for sure. So their next patrol will be - in true Afghan style - delayed.
