Volkswagen introduces Race Touareg 3 ahead of 2011 Dakar - The ...
The legendary Dakar Rally really is misnamed. While the event was born as the Paris-Dakar Rally in the mid-‘70s, its history has been sketchy to say the least. Different routes, different starting points, but one thing was always for certain: the rally started in Europe and finished in Africa. That is until 2008, when terrorist threats forced its cancelation. Through some herculean efforts, the race was reborn in South America, but retains the Dakar name for recognition. Some competitors and enthusiasts claim that the Dakar has lost some of its magic, but there’s still enough popularity [suite...]

Bamako to Dakar
We were made welcome back at the Farid hotel and set straight of to Just4U that night. A young band was playing tonight and I bought a copy of their CD. The whole place was full of teen girls who knew every word that was sung and who danced with utter pleasure and unselfconsciously. The next day we lunched again under the enormous baobab at the Institut Francais. Then I negotiated with a cab driver to take us up the coats for three hours and back. Great decision. Saw the lighthouse atop a volcanic plug with views over Dakar, at Les Mamelles, the new mosquee, La Divinite, Ngor beach, les [suite...]

Dakar and Beyond...
So, as many of you know I (joe) have spent the last two months studying for the GMAT, the graduate business school entrance exam. I was scheduled to take the exam at the nearest testing facility which is in Dakar, Senegal (about 1000 miles from where I live in Mali) on October 7th, but when I arrived at the testing center I was told that the computer system had crashed and I could not take the test.

Field Trip to awesome restaurant: Le Grand Dakar!
" Today I visited Le Grand Dakar, an West African inspired restaurant owned by Chef Pierre Thiam, located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. It was an amazing experience. I felt as if I was actually tasting a piece of Africa. It felt beautiful. Chef Pierre Thiam showed us, the TIC interns a demo of how to create a rice grain salad. I say his idea was brilliant! I’m not a very big fan of African food but leaving that restaurant today changed my mind. I was inspired by his work and his story. He actually came to the United States on a student visa for college, to study chemistry while studying in [suite...]

Ni Paris-Dakar, ni Africa Race : Laissez l'Afrique tranquille !
Les langues hypocrites lors de la mort de Boubacar Diallo et Mohamed Ndaw, 10 et 11 ans sur le Dakar 2006 sont sorti du bois. Un sportif sans dignité, Hubert Auriol, poursuit le Paris-Dakar, tueur d’enfants africains sous le nouveau nom Africa Race. Quoi de plus normal, il est également parrain de l’Arche de Zoé bien connu pour avoir tenté de voler des enfants au Tchad. Ce qui campe le personnage. Et puisqu’il prend africains et européens pour des cucurbitacées, il veut faire croire qu’il fait de la concurrence au rallye Dakar d’Amaury Sport Organisation. Hubert Auriol [suite...]

Ccf de Cotonou
Son dernier album « Sénégal », le 22ème de sa carrière, enregistré entre Dakar, Paris et Londres, contient tout ce qui fait l’identité de l’un des chanteurs les plus attachants que le Sénégal ait offert au monde. Des interpellations, des messages pour conscientiser, des hommages, sans oublier aussi ce qui lui reste de l’enfance, un certain sens de l’humour taquin. Parcours d’Ismaël Lo C'est au Niger, à Dongo Buti, patrie de sa mère d'origine Peul, que naît Ismaël Lô le 30 août 1956, où son père sénégalais, est alors en poste.
