two years from ghana and nigeria. nigeria and back to cotonou. from niger to chad, chad to libya. it is hell. but there's no hope at home, so you just continue. sometimes you meet a group, the whole 30, 35 passengers, with the driver, the car is dead and they are all dead. driver only has the right to use the water because they use it to put inside the car. some killed the passengers for your own water to drink. when richard finally arrived in libya, he was kidnapped for ransom.
