entry 29

"The three white men and a very large number of other men surrounded the market. They must have used powerful medicine to make themselves invisible until the market was full. And they began to shoot. Everybody was killed, except the old and the sick who were home and a handful of men and women whose chi were wide awake and brought them out of the market." p.g. 140

I wonder why the white men were there in the first place. Maybe they were like settlers or slave traders or something. Anyway even if they lost one men it doesn't justify the slaughter of an entire village of people. I hope it doesn't happen to any of the other villages. But man I bet those few people were thinking, boy am i lucky. Another thing is i don't really understand the way they use the word medicine, is it supposed to be like magic, or potions or something, because the way they use it is weird.
