more on the CAR

I have just got news from my CAR outfitter Michel Angelvy.
Some blacks were injured too. One of them is the famous Oumar Auboussar who guided my cousin last year. Here is their picture.

This season, Oumar joined Thierry Fecomme organisation, a sad move.
During the skirmish he got 4 slugs from Sudanese AK47s : one in the wrist, one in the ankle, one in the bladder, the last one I don’know where. His career is possibly finished . He is one of the best African PHs in the CAR and a gifted and stunning tracker.

In my post in 2005, back from Wild Central Africa

that’s what I wrote concerning Oumar :

“Oumar his PH, a student of the CAR’s mythical best guide Abdoulaye, did more than his best. Paddling before my cousin in a river, he was smashed in the leg by a 10 feet crocodile’s tail. Oumar is a real pro and has some experience. In a posh territory, as a wannabe PH, searching a winged lion he was bitten in the knee before the lion flattened the PH. He managed to creep to the lion and be splashed with grey matter whilst “machetting” the lion’s skull. Another day, conveying 2 hunters, his car was suddenly rolling between 60 Sudanese poachers aiming at them with their Kalashnikovs. In low speed, he drove by, forced to stop for a hunter lost his cap. He didn’t recover the stolen cap but brought his clients safely to the camp. This Oumar, a black muslim, is a genius too. An outstanding tracker, he knows how to guess where the game will rest, letting the trackers zigzag on the long track and at best act as beaters, saving time and exertion for the best result. A complete over-achiever! At sun downer time, he never accepted anything other than Coca, what a dedication!”

I wish Oumar all the best and possibly a fast and complete recovery.
I wish the “Centrafrique” far more
