More than half a generation ago, a scattered group of expatriates got together to celebrate the birth of a new century in a finely built house locataed on the edge of Ramallah.
Now, the celebrants are dispersed to far corners of the globe. . . . and the house has a new purpose . . . as headquaters for the European Police Mission – providing training and oversight to the Palestinan Police Corps.
And a new neighbourhood is growing fast and growing big all around it – as a tide of development sweeps westward from Ramallah.
And encroaches on what was once the biggest building on the hill.
On an adjacent hill a cultural center has been built by an international donor agency.
And another Palestinian Government Centre is under construction nearby – this time funded by Canadian International aid.
