C’è un filo conduttore che lega molti dei paesi sulla rotta di Overland 12: sembra che ovunque ci siano risorse naturali in abbondanza, queste abbiano portato solo guerra e sofferenza. I fosfati del Sahara Occidentale, come i diamanti della Costa d’Avorio e della Liberia, si sono rivelati una curse for the local population: the case of Nigeria fully confirms this sad paradox.

Nigeria is the continent's most populous country, and the second largest economy after South Africa. The great economic importance of Nigeria is derived from the extraction of oil, from the 70s onwards has virtually supplanted all other productive activity: today, Nigeria is the eighth largest oil exporter in the world and a full member of OPEC. It would seem that Nigeria has derived enormous benefits from the petroleum industry, since 1980 the gross domestic product in real terms is almost quadrupled. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different. Despite

i vastissimi introiti prodotti dall’esportazione di petrolio, l’84% della popolazione nigeriana continua a vivere con meno di due dollari al giorno. In compenso il petrolio ha fatto la fortuna di ufficiali militari e capi dello Stato, come il defunto dittatore Abacha che trafugò quattro miliardi di dollari dalle casse statali; ha provocato danni incalcolabili all’ambiente, a causa dell’infrastruttura usurata e dell’estrazione selvaggia; e soprattutto è stato la causa scatenante di guerre civili come quella del Biafra nel 1967 o quella del delta del Niger ai giorni nostri.

Il delta del Niger è un ecosistema molto complesso che ospita una delle più alte concentrazioni di biodiversità al mondo; la maggior parte delle riserve di petrolio nigeriane si trova nel suo sottosuolo. Gli abitanti del delta vivono in condizioni di estrema povertà nonostante la grande ricchezza prodotta in questa zona, mentre le loro terre diventano incoltivabili a causa dell’inquinamento o vengono espropriate e concesse a corporazioni estere. Il risentimento della popolazione del delta ha trovato un’espressione violenta nella lotta armata: il MEND (Movimento per l’Emancipazione del Delta del Niger) cerca di bloccare l’estrazione di petrolio sabotando le condutture, attaccando le infrastrutture estrattive e sequestrando il personale delle corporazioni estere; gli scontri con l’esercito nigeriano sono
all’ordine del giorno.

The team of 12 Overland observed firsthand the suffering caused by this conflict: the columns of refugees fleeing the fighting are living proof of the absurd curse of natural resources seem to be for Africa. The expedition was able to go free from the combat zone, and has already crossed the border of the country covered in the next study: Cameroon. Source

Africa ... our and their A. Maspero


Viaggiare sì, ma dove. Spesso pecchiamo di eccessiva superficialità nella scelta delle nostre mete, sedotti da un immaginario costruito a misura di turista, ma che ha poco a che fare con il paese reale. Iniziamo il nostro giro del mondo partendo dall’Africa, un continente che da sempre esercita un grande fascino su esploratori e viaggiatori.

“L’Africa è vasta, una massa terrestre e non una nazione. Non esiste una sola Africa. Da cima a fondo esistono tante Afriche tra di loro distinte” scrive Eddy L. Harris. Its essence is the variety of cultures and landscapes, peoples and languages, rituals and myths. Unable to give a single definition. But beyond these differences, there are two Africas, ours and theirs. Rarely meet, a bit 'in Libya as the caravans of tourists touch of off-road routes of migrants without seeing each other. Karen Blixen spoke of the "Out of Africa" \u200b\u200band the same can be said for many fans travel. For them, Africa is the off-road adventure on the slopes of the parks or the desert, the encounter with the ancient cultures of the Dogon villages or ethnic groups with the surviving "primitive." Traversing often do not perceive the great poverty that surrounds quella che gli antropologi definiscono la “bolla ambientale” in cui viaggia il visitatore. Ma la verità è che la “loro Africa”, quella di chi ci vive, ha il primato della miseria, conta – secondo i dati del Forum sociale Mondiale di Nairobi del 2007 – 34 dei 50 paesi meno sviluppati, 35 milioni di sieropositivi e malati di AIDS su 40 milioni nel mondo e 1/3 della sua popolazione soffre la fame. Denutrizione, mortalità infantile, carenza di scuole e ospedali, guerre efferate, bambini-soldato, slums, megalopoli spaventose, perdita d’identità, criminalità, emigrazione, disastri ambientali…
Il “mal d’Africa” è una medaglia con due facce. Se l’Africa è anche questa e se è vero che decine di canali televisivi tematici ci raccontano tutto degli animali selvaggi, che l’incontro con le ultime etnie si riduce a esotismo a buon mercato, che le tradizioni sono state folclorizzate isolandole dal loro contesto rituale, che tecnologia e navigatori satellitari hanno tolto all’avventura il suo sapore, allora perché il continente nero continua a sedurre i viaggiatori? Complicato rispondere, perché l’Africa più di ogni altro paese è un’esperienza fisica, da vivere sulla pelle e difficile da esprimere a parole. L’Africa risveglia i sensi, si espone impudica e seducente, non ha fretta, cammina, aspetta, si adatta. Ha non una, ma tante storie, un po’ come i suoi oggetti che hanno molte vite, riciclo dopo riciclo. Mescola saggezza e magia, umanità e divinità. Lì si incontrano una voglia di vivere e una felicità quasi incomprensibili in base ai nostri parametri di benessere. Ma in luoghi dove manca l’essenziale e ci si arrangia con poco più di un dollaro al giorno, forse si è felici semplicemente di sopravvivere. D’altra parte la logica africana non è la nostra. E la nostra non è la loro. Un antropologo mi raccontava che i suoi amici maliani erano rimasti sconvolti dal fatto che noi occidentali ci mettiamo a dieta per dimagrire e che abbandoniamo i nostri anziani negli ospizi. Un’ovvietà che apre una voragine fra due culture. Certo, anche in Africa, as in the rest of the world, changes are violent and disruptive and globalization compound and confuse "authentic" and "contamination". Perhaps the Africans can more than other people a combination of tradition and modernity, old and new. Maybe the secret is that Africa has something special, something that I find a suitable word, soul.
