A Rebel On Nara’s Roads

 

Blue Rebel on Gravel

 

In a metallic cornflower blue color, a real featherweight and adorned with decorative TOTAL stickers this rebel served more kilometers than can be counted. It is easy to repair as well. The ideal means to get around fast in Mali’s buzzing capital but it passed the test on gravel as well.

A Slow And Long Ride

The donkey cart was the only means of transport for many in the 1990’s. And although Nara is electrified and there are more cars today it probably still is for many. It took a slow and long ride, like for these two young men, to travel from the villages to Nara and back. They are sitting on top of a pile of fresh green leaves that have been collected around their village.
