[pp.int.general] African Round Up : Tunisia et al.

[Justus Römeth]

Hi Foetus

Great to hear from you, and great to hear such overwhelmingly good news.
I understand that the 'wounded' issue is somewhat off topic, but afaik
German hospitals have been quite engaged with taking care of wounded
persons from the Arab spring. Have you tried contacting Doctors without
borders on this issue, and/or do you think that us Pirates in Europe
talking to doctors here could help you on this somewhat sidelined issue?

Kind regards
