- N'DJAMENA
Dusty sand roads unpaved, generators loudly running( kind of like lawnmowers in the summer of my youth) women with colored fabric covered heads and bodies and yes-the men in full-length whatevers and an insane looking wind of white cotton wrapped around their heads. Two women selling peanuts under a plastic sheet construct. A man being diligently hand shaved of his head hair. Many man-made scars on the dark faces I meet. These fascinate me as an echoing of past pains and an underlying nativity of a deeper different sort.
