Thank You once again,
Do you have any first-hand resources, which I could (e)mail to? I wanted to try overland option, but if even lorries do not go there it will not be the case. I thought that with UN there at least major roads are viable. My plan is to go there about December and following your advice inquire around taxi ranks.
I completely share your opinion about bribing. My question was not about bribing for geting something done. When in Chad, in each village where check-point was I had to register three times - at the police, at the douane next door and at yet another guy. Everyone demanded money, which after polite negotiations they do NOT get. Except one time, where the chief-policeman put the gun on the table shouting at me. I have paid then 1.000 CFA. I am afraid that it can happen in DRC more frequently, but am I right?
Best regards from Poland,
