| During the Second World War, in Guyana, some 20 young men were gathered by the politician Albert Darnal, President of the County Council, in order to voluntarily integrate the Air Forces fighting for the liberation of France. Most of them commit themselves in the view of becoming pilots.
Due to the hostility of the administration authorities, reluctant to this project, they will meet doubts, difficulties and vexations throughout the journey that will lead them to the French West Indies, Morocco and Europe.
Some are motivated by the taste of adventure, others by the hope to work later in the aeronautic field. Only one young Martinican pilot succeeds in fighting with the French-Russian fleet called “Normandie Niémen”, on the Eastern Front.
These young me often had a mystic vision of France, but from dream to reality, the road would be long.

| In the Sahelian village Tokabangou of Bunkina Faso, built a several centuries ago, close to Niger, the desert is moving forward, plastic is spreading and Chinese motorbikes are parading. An old man is questionning the new constraints that modernity imposes in the every day life made of ancient traditions.
« When an old man dies, it’s a library that burns »
Amadou Hampâté Bâ
These words of the famous Malian writer are the most accurate to introduce Halidou Maïga, who was deputy and education counsellor. His career, his decision to come back and settle in his native village, his reflexions on a mercantile word are good enough reasons to listen to him. The simplicity of his words let us discover another Sahel than the one we are used to being told of, always shown with drama. His chair is now unoccupied but his soul is still floating above the Sahel of Songhaïs.
