Lethal Crysis tells how he hid in a boat in the middle of the river to avoid being killed.

How would you explain to someone who doesn't know, and that's probably the vast majority, who have heard of it but haven't been there, what kind of country is Mali, which is in Madrid? Well, Mali, in fact, I went there before the previous podcast, but we talked about so many things, of course, there wasn't time. That was in December 2021, and it's very curious because it usually happens in Africa, and it makes sense, right? In countries that have been in conflict for many decades, you find a very tense population with a lot of hatred among themselves too. It's not just the population as a whole; the thing is that there are also many ethnic groups living together in the same country, in the same city. They are complicated areas, and it shows in people's character, especially since I go with a camera. It's difficult to film here; you need a permit. This guy won't let me; this one answers me rudely; he wants to hit me—very tense situations where there's a lot of friction, okay? The curious thing about Mali is that it also has decades of war and a very tragic history, and yet the population was completely friendly, smiling, welcoming, with my limitations on the expedition because, being at war, there were also areas where you couldn't go in Mali. And what it has, what it does have, is that it's worse now, but when I went, there was quite a difference between the safe or government-controlled areas and those controlled by the terrorists. I also got a bit into the controlled areas because, right now, since the 60s, the Tuaregs—well, what I'm saying is that the problem in Africa is always the imposed borders. In the 60s, in the year '60, most countries in that Sahel region gained independence, and the same thing happened with South Sudan, meaning in the year '60, in those years, very many gained independence. They separated families, brought together ethnic groups that have never gotten along, and there's always a government, not always one ethnic group in charge. What happens is that, as they say, whoever distributes takes the best part. The Tuaregs lived in the northern part of Mali.
