"Why didn't you tell me," barked the employee who said she had never seen Wyatt...
...bloody civil war has changed all that. Once-bustling streets in the capital are choked with rubble. Hotels are gutted, eleven banks have been looted and even during the frequent "truces"-24 so far-the killing continues.
