Everything's Coup

Just wanted to point out that our PCV friends in Mauritania are riding out the political turmoil and are in good shape. Here's a press release from the director from a few days ago.

All 154 Volunteers and trainees are confirmed safe and are no longer on
stand-fast mode. Volunteers have also returned to their sites. Peace Corps staff in Mauritania remains in regular communication with Volunteers in the regions. Volunteers remain in good spirits and are maintaining a very professional attitude, and trainees are maintaining their training schedule.

Glad to see the system works when it needs to and everyone (read: Nick) is safe.
