Via Hidden Unities comes the amazing Soldier of Africa blog about a South African infantry major on assignment in Darfur (or formerly in Darfur, now back home). It’s interesting not only because of the first-hand insight, but also because of the inter-African viewpoint, such as South Africans fascinated by camels, a common fixture in the northern half of the continent.
Lt Col Lloyd assimilating the available transport in Sudan. Eventually he decided to stick to Land Cruisers and aircraft. I doubt if there is any South African after his or her year in Sudan who does not have a photo near or on a camel.
