Chad, the Desert that Floods | Deadliest Journeys

In Chad, even the desert is experiencing flooding on an unprecedented scale. More than a million people are affected by rising waters. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of fields have disappeared, a tragedy in a country where a third of the population is food insecure. In the south, although rich in oil, each trip is an epic for the local populations who do not benefit from the benefits of black gold. Norbert and Souleymane exhaust themselves every week on a broken track to supply the surrounding markets. In the Salamat region, transporting people is a daily challenge. The raging waters have washed away parts of the road, and in places, the track is submerged for hundreds of meters.

Directors: Antoine BODDAERT; Guillaume LHOTELLIER

Look how United they are no hate no ego just living a peaceful life in this hardships is truly a miracle

[yeshot]

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Chadian people who are working hard every day despite very difficult conditions. It is a video that shows how hard it is for the people to live if a country's politics are not done properly.
I would like to express my respect and gratitude to the production team who made an in-depth video of the difficult life of the Chadian people.
Chadian political leaders are strongly urged to do what is right for the people.

I am looking from Europe and would like to express my gratitude to the team showing us in what difficulties these poor people have to live their lifes. And compliments to the people facing such problems in their everyday lifes keeping calm helping each other. They are real heroes. Chad Government has to build infrastructure.

This is a great documentary and done very well. Thank you.

As an African from Eritrea living in the US, my heart goes out to my fellow Africans who struggle from day to day to live decent lives and yet keep their dignity and humanity. Shame on so many African leaders who don’t look after their own citizens’ welfare.
Also climate change is wreaking havoc on the poorest of the world and the more prosperous countries have a duty to extend real assistance to those who are suffering through no fault of their own.

Africans have existed since the dawn of history and with their humanity and creativity intact they will remain.

By the way, of all the modern machinery and transport system ‘Toyota cars and lorries are a true wonder. I agree with a viewer who said Toyota company should give a brand new one to this driver (then again with the latest electronics it may be rendered useless for such creative reconstruction to the local terrain and use). This writer has also seen many Toyota and some Mercedes trucks adapted and used by Eritrean freedom fighters during our 30 years of war. The ingenious Eritrean mechanics practically revamped almost every aspect of the car to be used in the mountains and deserts of Eritrea.

So glad for new episodes. I love this series. Been watching for a long time. I hope it keeps going. I drive for UBER on occasion and I picked up a passenger from the navel base who is originally from kenya, and we started talking about documentaries. When I mentioned this one his face lit up and we had a great conversation. He to is a big fan of Deadliest Journeys. Was a really cool experience. First time I've had a passenger from somewhere who didn't say a show about their home town/state/country was pure crap.

I just remembered I also picked up a young lady who was also originally from kenya (I live in Florida BTW) she was on her way to the airport to fly home and was talking to someone on the phone, she said she was scared to go back because of all the robberies. She said she wasn't afraid for her life or anything it's just when they rob you instead of having a gun or knife they have a handful of human feces and threaten to rub it on you if you don't hand over your stuff. I had to laugh because I seem to remember the kenya episode said the same thing, or someone in that episode said something similar.

[aticknekong]

..i liked when the narrator said are not the type to give good ideas are what keep the country going...."
Loves their Never Day Die attitude😍👍👍👍...

[njjimenez]

Watching these documentaries teaches me to value everything we have, where I live and how I live! Appreciate everything with more reason

[ropsonjrn.]

Toyota should definitely give this man a brand new car 🚗. He's living proof that Toyota truly never dies! 💪🔥

The problem is, that in 50 years you can make the same documentary again because nothing will change!!!
