Bongo, far north of Ghana, about 10kms from the Burkino Faso border, 19 Jan 2024. I was advised by a local as I took this photo that recently there had been daylight armed robberies of buses and shared taxis in the surrounding area, and suggested I not do the circuit on quiet roads I was about to do - esp. as I didn't look like a local and would be assumed to have money and valuables on me. As I was having continuing nagging problems with my front axle and gears following a collision with a speeding taxi in Kumasi, I decided to turn back to Bolgatanga, about 15kms south.
