Hi,
In answer to Sam's questions - according to the reports following (and links from their website), it "should" be tarmac all the way by October.
I did the Atlantic route in 2001, the road from Layoune to Dakar and then the border was - shall we say - without much distraction (???). Joy, there's now a few hundred km more of a similar road !!
It will mean a quick access to West Africa, just need to take copious amounts of Red Bull or the like to keep awake !
