Paris/Daker Rally cancelled at last minute.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

The Dakar Rally's 11th-hour cancellation dramatically highlighted the growing lawlessness of the vast Sahara, a hotbed for armed groups ranging from al Qaeda to Tuareg rebels and drug gangs running cocaine to Europe.
