Sometimes we have 12 cars accompanying us with 25 soldiers and 20 from the Gendarme. The chief of the police in In Salah told us, that in the last 20 years (he serves there) he didn&#8217;t see anything like this alert&#8230;. Two helicopters and a fighter was also standby just in case something happens to us <img

Mi vagyunk a díszvendégek errefelé, csúcsidőben 12 autó kisért minket 25 katonával és 20 csendőrrel. Az In Salah-i rendőrfőnök szerint ő 20 éve van ott szolgálatban, de ilyet azóta (akkor a Dakar járt erre) nem látott. Két helikopter és egy vadászgép is készenlétben állt miattunk. a rendőrök lekérték a magyar kormánylistát mert nem hitték el hogy <a
