WEST AFRICA 2020

A journey through western africa in 2019 contained Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau as well as Guinea. While Senegal is recognized as democratic and stable and therefore is the center of attraction for intra-african refugees. The Gambia is semi-democratic and strict ruled country entirely embraced by Senegal. On the other hand, it became rough to travel in the military dictatorships of Guinea-Bissau and Guinea. Check out the blog for some stories about full-day taxi rides with overnight stopover in a roadby mosque, insects included. Finally, we enjoyed the hillside of Guinea while trekking by foot. Feel free to enter!

Die Reise durch Westafrika im Jahr 2019 umfasste die Länder Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau und Guinea. Der Senegal gilt als Stabilitätsgarant mit einer demokratischen Regierung ist das Land somit ein Magnet für innerafrikanische Flüchtlinge. In der Folge reisten wir via St. Louis nach Süden bis in das gänzlich vom Senegal umschlossene Land Gambia, welches streng Diktatur-ähnlich regiert wird. Guinea-Bissau und Guinea sind beides Militärdiktaturen. Schaut in den Blog für ein 14h Taxi-Abenteuer mit Übernachtung in einer Rastplatzmoschee, Spinnenweben inklusive, um den Banden nachts auf den Straßen zu entgehen. Die letzten Tage nutzten wir um die Hügellandschaft Guineas per Trekking zu erkunden! Tretet ein!
