A swarm of schoolgirls:

I spent much of the day walking around the city and the only visibly foreigners I saw outside armored vehicles were a group of Chinese men in a shop. Seems those expats left are hunkered down even more than 2 years ago. I took a look at a room for rent and from my conversation with the current resident it seems that it's a renter's market now, with landlords trying to fill vacancies that haven't had since the boom days of the Obama surge.
You get an idea of the doom and gloom here. I must say that photo at the top of the article is ridiculously captioned, suggesting that what my best guess is a teenage boy trying to play soccer without getting dust in his eyes is an insurgent who targets foreign civilians.
