Ivory Coast travellers incensed as heavy rains turn key road into mud bath

Our Observer Gaspard Goore Bi sent us videos filmed on October 9 and 10 showing the situation on the road between Guiglo and Tai, in the west of Ivory Coast. The road became totally impassable after heavy rains turned it into a mud bath. In these videos, local residents, drivers and a priest all call on the government for help. The situation has since improved, but this kind of exasperation is not uncommon for users of the Guiglo-Tai road, which is regularly in such a state.
