Trying to get to CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC [S7-E74]

  • In this episode, I start the long journey from Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, to the border with Central African Republic. I choose the northern route, which proves to be a good choice, and the first 430 kilometers is new asphalt and I'm making quick progress. However, as soon as the dirt begins, the challenges start, and when it starts to rain, the jungle track become so slippery - it changes this day into a day, that I did not see coming..

    As a retired world traveler, what people need to understand is that people all over the world are just like you and I. They all just want to raise a family in peace and enjoy the company of friends. It is the people in power that run governments that brain wash it's citizens to do unspeakable things to others under the guise of morality for the sake of stacking power. Be kind to one another.

      @@SaneLogical I think there is an easy answer for all of these problems. It lays in any position of power over people. This is important to know because it is a key factor in job desire for 2 psych profiles. Psychopaths and Sociopaths. Religious leaders, Policeman, any public office, lawyer, are a few of the jobs in the top 10 choices for those psych profiles. I think this is why we have problems with Police doing things that any normal person with empathy for their fellow human would be appalled at. It is why we keep seeing "bad cops" do bad things. Until we get the tech to weed these 2 psycho profiles from any position that is one of public trust, we will continue to see things that enrage us. They are charismatic and manipulative. And we are the manipulated.

With the coming of the rains, they move back to Niger and other places that normally experience a harsher dry season. They are nomads, mostly Fulani by tribe.

    All the cattle is en route to the Centrafrique to be sold there. The herders are Peuhls/Fulani. If you want to say hallo to them you can call Sanu!/ Sanu mon! when driving passed them. Safe travel onwards! I barely can wait for the next episode: your travel is a true cliff-hanger! And thank you for paying the tolls without grumbling: lots of work of the community went to make those bypasses. The main road is destroyed by trucks gettings stuck: they excavate them and do not refil the holes, sometimes very, very deep....Sometimes they stay there for years, alas...

    The truck at 6:50 would be used in the US for hauling logs. When empty, for convenience, they load the last part of the truck up on the back of the front part. When they get at their place to load, a crane takes off the second half and puts it attached to the front half (that long solid pole that stuck off the second half connects the two) and then you can transport really longer logs or whatever cargo they want.

    Noraly, i have been to all these places right up to the Central African Republic from Cameroon. Those trucks are for carrying timber en route to Europe, North America and other Asian countries via the Douala port in Cameroon. Normally, you will find hundreds of those trucks on these roads on a normal day when the weather is dry.. It is amazing how much resources leave those supposedly poor countries to developed economies. This is one area very rich in natural resources that you will meet some of the poorest people in the world. I hope you passed through Batouri, Cameroon with Chinese and European gold mines everywhere while communities are living in poverty.
