Yesterday there was a scuffle between some refugees and Ruritanian security forces outside Camp 6. Apparently one of these Ruritanians was young and new to the job, and he yelled an insult to a few refugees heading back to the camp. One of these refugees snapped and went to attack the soldier, and well, it didn't end so great, but no one was seriously injured.

It seems that there's more tension at Camp 6 then here in the Camp 5 area that I've noticed. Some of the Ruri security forces here have been well-behaved... and most seem to be Zaharian as well, so that helps to add in the sympathy element to their job.

However, it is strange to be living in a country that supports the Brn government. We're all reminded of it everytime we remember where we've relocated ourselves.
