The 4WD Land Rover safari continues through Central Niger towards a double peaked mountain in the distance. The Land Rovers negotiate some steep rocky slopes. The explorer passengers have got out of the vehicles and watch them climbing the trail. View over the rocky terrain as a man and camel approach. An oasis of palm trees and a small settlement beneath a mountainous backdrop. Children stare at the camera. A woman is collecting water for her goats. The group in their Land Rovers are parked up for a lunch break and are surrounded by village children. The vehicles now navigate their way down a steep rocky slope as the passengers walk down. At the bottom people are collecting water and washing by a stream.

Niger. A Szaharát átszelő évszázados karavánúton még ma is 3-4 napig tart az utazás. Különösen, ha az utazónak bújkálnia kell a banditák és a rendőrök elől, ha vezetői kidobják a homoktenger közepén, vagy ha útközben elfogy a vize. Elutaztam a világ egyik legszegényebb országába, Nigerbe, ahol összegyűlik mindenki, aki Afrikából Európába akar jutni. Találkoztunk embercsempésszel, eljutottunk a migránsok titkos gettójába, és mi is nekivágtunk a sivatagi útnak. A kalandok végén nagyon más világ rajzolódott ki, mint amit a populista politikusok Afrikáról vagy a migrációról szoktak mondani.

Ha érdekel, milyennek láttam az iraki háborút, vagy hogy térített el Libanonban egy titkos ügynök, rendeld meg a könyvem. Mit tegyünk, ha fegyvert fognak ránk a címe: https://bookline.hu/product/home.action?_v=Foldes_Andras_Mit_tegyunk_ha_fegyvert_&id=308194&type=22

Agadez, Niger, men gathered outside the mosque. Panning view of the walled town and its mud buildings. Dusty streets and local Tuareg and Berber people walking past. A group of people are pounding grain in mortars. A different view of the Grand Mosque in Agadez. A busy market with goods laid out on woven mats on the sandy ground. Tiny huts with laundry hanging outside. The walls of the city in the background. It is very windy and peoples’ long clothes billow. View over the walled compounds, it looks like a dust storm is blowing in. The mosque again. Pack animals laden with produce in a wide dusty street. Back to the market and excellent footage of local people trading, colourful dress and people going about their normal business ignoring the camera. Possibly small livestock market with goats. Tethered camels. Women carrying babies on their backs. One of the tourists buys fruit at a stall. The streets of Agadez and more pounding grain. Tuareg men stand around at the camel market. A woman using a large pestle and mortar. Two men wrestle in front of a large crowd.
