We did not receive good news last week in regards to the long-awaited signature we need. Instead, we found out that not only will we not make the court closure, but most likely will even be delayed beyond the courts re-opening again.Apparently, in order to try to get this regional head to approve our case, we have to go backwards and re-do city and zonal approvals. These were originally completed before our referral. From what we understand, because the requirements were changed while we were in the middle of the process, we now have to go back and get them done over again. (This is all paperwork that needs to be accomplished in Ethiopia- we have no control over getting this done. It is up to various staff in Ethiopia to complete these documents.)This has been upsetting news, to say the least. We don’t know how long this will take or even if the regional head will sign the document after we have all this paperwork re-done. We are hoping so, but after hitting roadblock after roadblock during this journey, we're not sure what to expect anymore.
Our wait continues. . .
