Minutes of the The Council of Ministers of Monday Jan 17, 2022, page-29

As a long suffering holder, you should be as patient as an ox. But you are right, things are dragging out quite a bit longer than what would be considered reasonable.

Maybe Covid is throwing the spanner in the works in terms of Ding's original schedule for bell ringing. But the Africans seem to be adhering to their side of the schedule.

If Covid is a problem preventing travelling to Africa, they can still do everything virtually as a last resort. So I am quite relaxed.

Go Ding !
