Time on the hands of law enforcement, apparently.

I received the following in my inbox today (a forward from our Logistics Manager). The title of the e-mail read:

Fwd: women in trousers / "inappropriate clothing"

"There are a lot of stories singing around on yesterday's alleged spree
of arrests of foreign and Sudanese women wearing trousers or being
‘otherwise dressed inappropriately’ by police and army in Juba.

Is there any government explanation on these actions? Is UNMIS or any
other agency talking to the county government about this? Can women go
outside today without running the risk of being arrested on such
charges?"

I never knew trousers were synonomous with inappropriate clothing. I'm glad the local law enforcement are spending the time eradicating this very serious issue. I feel safer, now.
