Beep, beep, beep. My cell phone signaled the arrival of a text message. Scanning the room, I finally found the phone among some odds and ends on our counter. When I saw that the message was from the U.S. embassy in Bamako about 60 miles from us, I had a feeling it wouldn’t be good news. “Gunfire in Kati,” it said. Kati is a town with a military base just north of Bamako.

Just yesterday, Ibrahim called me. He wanted me to come out to his village, pick him up and take him to a festival near Kangaba. The town of Kangaba was engaged in the ritual changing of the roof of the sacred hut, a huge event that happens once every seven years and is accompanied by the inauguration of a new kaari, a large group of young men that do most of the work of the changing of the roof. I had no idea how big each kaari was until I saw the line of young men running up the road by our house. There must have been almost a thousand of them. It was an impressive sight.

Sometimes we feel that Satan has covered the Malinke people with a thick spiritual haze, making them unable to see beyond their familiar beliefs.
