Dakar rally is cancelled

Sorry about the comment, should have been in private only.

I certainly do know about third world countries.
While I was in PNG there was a huge drought on and many subsistence farmers were staving (well in fact whole villages).

The Japanese Government donated 400 tonnes of rice. This duly arrived and sat on the wharf as customs officials would not release it because import duty had not been paid.

A couple of months went by and the rice was declared unfit for human consumption due to rodents getting in.

Shortly after it was for sale thru a shop chain owned by one of the politicians. Declared fit for human consumption.

Not bad work if you can get it !
