Bit by bit, professors at the University of Ouagadougou are returning to campus to continue their courses. Law students, who hadn't had class since the beginning of April are now having at least some of their classes during the week. It's a promising sign.
It seems the demands of the professors are justified, but are fairly extensive and it will take time for the various government ministers to study their demands and then make a decision. In the mean time, the government seems to have convinced the students that it will act in good faith and that everyone should go back to life as usual on campus while the various ministers can do their job and get a deal made with the professors before the start of the next school year. So it seems like the year will continue without canceling it, although we can expect a very late end to the school year, maybe as late as February 2010. Thank you all for your prayers.
