Trip to Segou


These pictures were taken from Bryon's trip earlier this week to Segou. The four American guys are stationed together in Mali. They are guys Bryon works with on a daily basis and they all live together in a military house near the embassy. The other man is an Imam, which is a leader in the Muslim faith. This particular Imam is an adviser to the United States President and he resides in the US. He came to Mali on a good-will visit to improve relations with Muslims in Western Africa and Bryon's team was in charge of traveling with him, introducing him to the country, and joining in the relationship building process with the local Muslim groups.
