Coming back at night from Ziguinchor to Kafountine with some clients, on September 2011, our taxi is stopped by a military control. “You cannot go on. The road is closed. Orders of the governor” says the sergeant in charge. Nothing to do. The fifteen passengers of the van and I are going to overnight on the road. Behind us, thunders and lighting flashes predict a big storm. A boy approaches us and we ask him if he knows a place to sleep. “My grandma went on a trip and we have a free bed at home”, he answers. “Right, but we are three!” “Gonna see”. We wait and in a while the van driver comes back and says we have to leave; the military have changed their mind. An hour and a half later we are on the road again. Nobody knows why and I cannot reveal in this blog what really happened. It rained all the night long.
