Cow for 30 quid

The prices at the cattle market in Djibo, Adama told me today, are at a twenty-year low. People have no money to buy with, and are desperate to sell their animals to buy millet. You can pick up a two-year old cow for 30,000 CFA. Ridiculous.

Still no news from the WFP about when they are sending the grain up to Djibo; the end of Jan has come and gone with no word from them - I will post here as soon as I know.
