  • World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Cameroon 2015
    Deadliest Roads - Suriname: • Deadliest Roads | Suri...
    The bravest drivers in Cameroon are named the “Clandos”; the name comes from the word clandestine or illegal. They drive illegal taxis and are the only ones who are brave enough to navigate the country’s dangerous road networks, some of the worst on the African continent. Only 2% of the roads have been asphalted. All of the country’s inhabitants rely on the Clandos’ taxi services, they have no other choice. The country has no railway and taking airplanes is both too expensive and too dangerous.

    What our documentary focuses on: Life on the road outside the big cities.
    No public transport exists outside the bigger cities. The so-called communal aka clandestine taxis fill the gap. Any car in any condition will do. As long as it drives 70-80% of the time. Oh, and although no one seems bothered, some taxi drivers have no DL which, as Bugs Bunny would say: forget about it. (you know, in that Bugs Bunny voice of his)
    Passenger Pile In: There’s a certain puzzle system or pyramid system as far as seating for the passengers goes. The lightest sit on top of the heavier ones. Claustrophobic passengers prefer the scenic seats on the roof.
    From Lolosorf to Ebolowa: NGOs travel the route regularly to help the pygmies. Normally, they have a nice new air conditioned SUV 4-wheel drive but that's in the shop, so a clandestine (i.e. illegal) taxi it is. 700 km in ‘a rent a wreck’ category vehicle. Wheels can come off at any time. The roads are crap and this status quo has seriously paralyzed the economy on all levels. Projects, plans to improve the road infrastructure abound but is anything being done? We’d have to revisit to find out.
    If a truck breaks down, they're gently* looted until the company sends help to save what's left of the load. But I have to say, the looters are grateful and use everything. (*by that I mean, the people don't just attack and strip it, they take what they need in a friendly manner. Kind of like a gift provided by the savvy jungle)
    Part of the journey is on foot. You have to be prepared to push the cars. Simply because the mud is thigh high. Even Four wheelers have trouble. Motorcyclists speeding along a long forgotten road that hasn't been serviced for years and only works for bikes because they’re not wide enough for cars.
    A local fairy tale says god created the earth, the elements, rivers, forests, nature first - as living beings - to be feared and respected. Only the pygmies seem to remember that tale. In this Equatorial part of Africa.
    The Palm oil industry has moved these tribes out. Displaced them. A nomadic people. Their traditions have been taken from them.
    A village somewhere in Cameroon: There’s no electricity. The pylons erected but not connected. And because no teachers want to come, the children do without schooling. The youth ask only one thing of the government: provide the infrastructure. Then we can better our situation.
    All is not hopeless in this beautiful country. There is a high level of religious freedom and diversity.
    The national football (soccer) team has been one of the most successful in Africa, winning 5 African Cup of Nations titles and a gold medal at the 2000 Olympics. That boosts confidence.
    There's much much more of culture, literature, that is wonderful and worth discovering. All we can do is recommend traveling there and other places if you can. Not everyone can actually travel for whatever reasons - that's why we have documentaries. And books.
    Reading fiction or nonfiction by local authors gives so much more insight in a country. For those interested - Cameroon literature at a glance

      True. My mother had to replace her 1998 Suzuki because the local council now charges emissions tax for any vehicle built before 2001. There was nothing wrong with the car and it could have lasted many more years. And yet we are supposed to believe it is more environmentally friendly to buy a new car.
