Bribing is so normal in africa it’s almost a culture thing. And to be honest I’ve never paid more then 5 euro, mostly it’s even less then 0,50 cents. It’s just simply impossible to make a living with the wages that the government provides to the police (depends what country but it’s around 50 euros a month) it doesn’t make it right but I do understand why they do it.

@@FransBlaas1 Then she would need 50 pages for all the stamps she would have to have on the licence. Why have a paper saying "int drivers licence" in the first place if every country needs to stamp it?
That is correct. In the countries which an IDL is required it has to be accompanied by your country of origin license. Some countries in the EU do not require an IDL anymore. My advise to travelers is to research the traffic laws and IDL requirements of the countries one intends to visit, as it should be done by visitors into the United States who intend to operate a MV. In the case of the US the laws vary from state to state, but the idea is the same everywhere.
There's a video on YT where a Canadian is stopped by the LA police and is told that his driver licence isn't valid in the USA. He is even threatened to get his car (Lamborghini) towed.He insists that it's not the first time he is in the US and that Canadian Licences are valid. Then get's bullied that his exhaust is too loud. In the end he ends up in the police station filing a complaint.Idiots are all over the world.
As a Cameroonian myself, it feels sad seeing situations like these with some of our men in uniform. I’m just glad you handled yourself perfectly.

Your diplomatic interchange with the Cameroonian immigration reminded us of Tom Petty:"and I'll stand my ground/and I won't back down". Legend, we are proud of you.
Her ability to communicate despite French not being her best language, with an individual whose French is probably not his native language and under very stressful circumstances is terrific. She has an amazing ability get along with all sorts of people. She open, yet no fool. Her laughter is very disarming. I wish there were more people like her. I’ll try to laugh more in my own daily life.
Noraly I'm eternally great full for showing us around the world especially Africa. Your real time adventure has made some of us addicted to your channel
@@tripdudette I was talking with someone on phone and as the notification of this video came , I disconnected the phone call and start watching the episode.
Another police officer attempting to trouble Noraly, hoping to coerce her into offering a bribe. Fortunately, Noraly didn't succumb to this. This guy will surely face consequences once this incident goes viral in Cameroon.
The other officers got in trouble because they asked for money. This guy was smarter. To be honest, I’m not even sure the guys that got fired weren’t joking. Noraly handled it like a boss, joking right back and preventing any conflict. I’m not sure I could as well.
Good for you Itchy Boots!!!!! This is exactly my experience in Africa, the people are super friendly and very helpful, but then you come across officials, many of whom, want to extort you for money. Not all, but many. Even the other official knew they were correct.
@Casteeyo...lol beauty….we are all just that, I think it’s something different, unsusual especially in the beautiful region where every day is similar….
Sounded like a lot of people should lose their job, asking money for stamps. But the guy having a problem with the international license, he wanted to find something wrong so bad and he didn't care what the other guy saying.
Noraly has become very good at dealing with corrupt officials, standing firm and not taking any BS from them. 3 cheers for our adventure rider hero. 🎉✌️🇨🇦
Hi, I had a serious illness starting in 2022. I looked forward to your videos to remind me of what is beautiful about our world and the down to earth people in every country. Thank you for your outlook and courage in unusual circumstances!
No.She puts herself in danger by venturing into places like this and if something happens, tge Western media will pick it up and call all Africa as a dangerous
Only Few women can be as brave as you are, ever since i started following you i want to ensure that i catch up with all your episodes. Really you like what you do. The good part of this episode is when you challenged someone who wanted to take advantage of you by claiming you had a wrong drivers licence. keep it up
Such a joy seeing you doing all travels I could only dream off. All your hard work editing, sharing, explaining, planning the shots, opening up to the unexpected pays off more than the money you may earn and experiences you live. You open a world to more than 2 million people. Thank you so much ❤
My regular ❤route in Cameroon took me through 27 road blocks across the six towns we were putting telephone systems in. They often tried for money, or food, or CDs. Very rarely 😂did I give money. They would back off when I demanded to go into town to see their commandant. Middle of the month between paydays was the worse time. I wrote a series of articles called “the other Cameroon”.😢.
This border Officer guy was making a big fuzz out of nothing. He was really relentless in put you in the corner and then probably demanding something. But you firmly hold ground and demostrarte secure , strength and confidence in a really stressful situation. You are definitely a tough, wise, patience woman......And that jungle long track. My goodness. Miles and Miles of deep isolated jungle. You are lucky to reach that small village and probably found accomodations there. Imagine this road after a heavy rainfall what it could be. Probably you would be stucked in deep jungle, covered in mud, completely alone and exhausted in a deep rainforest with elephants around and all sorts of animals. Would not be a good night resting until the sun rises. Your calmness, courage and determination is inspirational. 💪
I don't think I've ever looked as much forward to watching a series on TV as much as I now look forward to your two weekly episodes on RUclips. You are a phenom, an inspiration to many. I can hardly wait for your next episode. Thank you..
I have to say I"m really proud of how you are nice with everyone, even in disagreement with the border guard, and always remain firm and positive. "Nope, my papers are fine. I'm leaving." without any yelling or physical conflict. Great way to handle it.
Wow, so impressed on how you handled that guy! To stand your ground so politely but firmly is a really tough balancing act, and then to simply get back on the saddle and leave was a master stroke. We can really learn a lot from how you handle yourself. ❤
He will never get a reprimand from his superiors because of the graft that is imbedded into their culture. You also don’t think his co-hort is going to rat him out.
They are very hard punishment for corrupt activities, no doubt, but as in every poor country, the corruption don't stays on one level. Often are whole departments involved. From the little officer on the street, up to the highest superior. Those scams mostly only light up when one part of the chain breaks. And even then, only the lower scapegoat will be punished and the other stay in position.
@@idowumohammed4689 It's not necessarily about race although it certainly can help. A local black female might have more trouble but a black female westerner using common sense, street smarts and who is self confident can go a long way too.
If you use common sense and do your homework beforehand it's never as dangerous as you might think. While you can be unlucky that could also happen closer to home. The biggest challenge however is getting all the paper work in order to allow you to cross the continent as an African.
Hi there! I have just started following your journey/adventure and "hats off" to you! You've gotta be the bravest lady on a bike EVER! Congratulations and happy trails!
Thumbs up for standing your ground and politely leaving. I hope cameron authority will take action at that corrupt official. She is doing a great service to your country and showing the world to visit your country to enjoy the nature. This only gets you tourists.
Take what action the police officer was right. All the international licences and permit I have seen online has a stamp and signature by the issuing authority. Its surprising her own doesn't have one.
He’s got “Give me money” written all over him. The unfortunate state of affairs in parts of Africa. Kudos Noraly and your well seasoned knowledge in international travel.👏👏👏👏👏
I´ve been in Mozambique for 3 years , and I´ve traveled from old Lorenço Marques to the Rovuma river , several times, more than 1.500 kms... Forest , jungle , and I CAN FEEL so much deep again, my memories going along with you , riding in you back seat.... Great corage !!....Your smile wins everyone..
You are one strong woman! Standing your ground regarding your national license was priceless! I loved how you told him your papers are correct and then drove off. That's confidence like I've never seen before. Excellent job Noraly!
Good morning Internet, let's be thankful to all the good people who give directions to Noraly and Alaska. Their contributions make this journey a success🎉
I loved when you stopped in the jungle and turned off Alaska and we could hear the sounds of the animals and insects, so loud. And that beautiful butterfly just loved Alaska. I think it thought Alaska was a new type of flower.
My wife and I were inchanted by how the butterfly landed on Alaska then flew a circuit around Noralie to land back on her hand. I don't think she saw that but I think it is an inspirational moment!
That guy was just trying to look for a small issue that he could use to try and extort some money from you. Absolutely happy that you did not give in. Absolutely love it.
If the officer says it is not correct, then it is rude for her to say "I'm gonna go because it is correct". No foreigner would dares do that in the US or Europe. This nonsense is only possible in africa. The officer never asked for money from her.@@IFFYSOUNDS
You are one gutsy lady. I am an African but i do not think i can dare undertake such journey. I rented a bus and travelled with my children to enable them see Nigeria for the first time, it was a journey i regretted. The harassment by the police was horrible. It was shocking to my children that people survived in such environment. I refused to bribe the police on every so-called check points. Africa, i weep for you my beloved continent.
We don't have this shit in Southern region of Africa either, particularly in rural areas. Corrupt cops exist anywhere in the world. But don't assume everywhere in Africa is the same situation. Harrasing a mother and her children is barbarism!
@@andersonojoshimite6047 It doesn't seem like you've travelled much in Africa. Some will still try to extort you, and although you may win in the end, you could be locked up for days.
International Driving Permits do not follow a standard design. UK-issued IDPs have a signature and stamp on the front, ones issued in The Netherlands don't. Her papers were in order. Noraly was 100% to hold her ground.
@@humandroid53 Clealy he was shaking her down for money. All the places Noraly has been they don't even ask her for a drivers license. The International license was clearly stamped signed and dated by issuing authority and she shows it at 11:46
The UN Convention on Road Traffic, which governs the IDP, requires all issuing authorities to sign and stamp the first page and also stamp the permit category letter on the third page for document to be valid. I fault the officer for letting her go without correcting this error. It is not because she has gone through sixty countries that the document is correct. For some of those countries, her domestic driving licences might be enough, but not in Cameroon where there are special provisions for using the IDP since Cameroon is not even signatory to the current UN convention or the two previous conventions that govern the IDP. Let her check the requirements properly before getting into trouble in another country where the IDP is not recognised and the officers stand their ground.
Beautiful things happen here... Did anyone notice the white butterfly standing by when @Noraly had her lunch on that lonely stretch, after the police encounter?
12:00. I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I already knew that you are a tough, independent, confident and strong women, but the way you didn't let these 'Officials' shake you down was BRILLIANT!!!

After a day to digest and read comments what boggles my mind is.... up pulls a foreign woman alone on a motorcycle in this remote location. She arrives with cheerful friendly greetings and positive vibe. Surely a rare occurrence. Clearly a tourist. Passport confirms. Yet guy doesn't have an ounce of goodwill in his heart to wish her a safe journey and raise the gate. If ever a time to make an exception not to extort, it was here. Yet on the flip side Noraly as shown us many other locals that would do anything to help and protect her. Africa, the land of extremes. Peace!
Yes, on the flip, that's what has always got me hooked on her episodes. It is as if I am on that journey too. Kudos Noraly, thumbs up to you @jasonzerbini2375 for your observations
Reality says, there are always corrupt arse holes. Moreso in countries built and run by corrupt governments. It's just a fact. And a good lesson for all of us lucky enough to live in modern westen countries, to keep our governments clean and honest. We've become lax, and it's time to refresh. I speak also for my country, the United States. Corruption is creeping in here in very disturbing ways. The people need to be educated in their liberties, and always ready to clean house and stay Revolution minded. Being armed here in the US is one of the ways we do that. But even more powerful, are teaching our children how our Constitution works, and what liberties they already have. Modern society has gotten lazy, and we all live in a mindset of ASKING to do things that we already have a right to do! This mindset must be corrected, or the concept of freedom and personal liberties will wane, and be lost to time.
Sir, I am currently vacationing in the Dominican Republic. I have a car I purchased because I’m here often. Two days ago, the police pulled up to me near my house and asked me for documents. I gave him the docs then he said they are not good. So he took my keys and said let’s go to the station. When I got there another cop shows up and said just give me what you have and you get the car back. I told them I’m American and I’m a tourist. They didn’t care. I think that made that first for me 😅 at the end, I decided to pay because it was my birthday on that day. I just didn’t want to lose more time. Anyways it’s disappointing that as a foreign person in a foreign country, people really abused us because they think we have it all.
Honestly Noraly, you treat people, animals alike and the politeness doesn't change a bit even if you are in a critical situation. Rides you are doing can be done by any other rider, but the way you are scaling the planet is just incredible and your videos instead of video, are visual journey. Thanks a lot for the experience. Stay safe and keep Exploring . God bless
He tried. He found out. Maybe later someone will let him pay for that shtick. As the saying goes: Do stupid things, pay stupid prices. Or something in that vein. Noraly doesn't deal prices for stupid behaviour. She simply refuses to play their stupid games. More often than not, she tries to solve problems with a bit of generosity and a big dollop of dutch cordiality, as far as I could glean from her vids. ;)
"Madagascar, with its unique fauna and flora within the small Africa, is truly like another planet. You're really lucky to have been able to explore this unique place. I also appreciate your brave steps. We're always here for you. Some people can be different things: Traveler, artist, scientist, writer... I too would have loved to be a traveler, but in the end, I had to choose between being an artist, a scientist, and a writer. I chose the path of being a cartoonist, and by adding the element of traveling to it, what do you think came out? A cartoon map artist... In short, a person's preferences and energy lead them to great things. With love."
@@baz-wc4fi you can talk about corruption and wanting money, fair. But sarcastic and condescending towards poor people? There is no running water let alone clean at that remote hut location. Surely no sewage pipes either in the forest. "Behind the hut" as you call it, is actually the place to urinate in the forest. There is no private cubicle with running hot water to go wash his hands and then wipe them on a white soft towel and dry them in an automatic Dyson air drier as you do. Maybe you should donate more to Africa. Then maybe he will have these creature comforts and wash his hands first before talking to you, and urinate in a warm private and cozy environment with ceiling speakers blasting relaxing music whilst reading his newspaper as you are enjoying every day.
Ik volg je al een tijdje Noraly, tijdens je spannende en mooie avonturen. Echt fantastisch. Overal kom je vriendelijke mensen tegen, wat je uitstraalt is wat je ook weer terugkrijgt 😉 ik kijk uit naar de volgende video! Groetjes, Martijn uit Nederland.
So much beauty to be found in West Africa, but the flip side of it is the corruption. Noraly showing us how a seasoned traveler like herself has to deal with the red tape. Some of it "official", but much of it is unofficial!
Great job for standing your ground.😮🤯 sometimes people abuse from the power that they are holding. That's not right,no way jose It's so remarkable that every video is better than previous one. Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures with all the hard work.😢
I can't believe how brave and dedicated you are on this trip. Knowing that a video is posted gives me relief as I know you made it safely to your next destination. ❤
I don't know how Noraly holds it together dealing with corruption. I'd absolutely lose my temper, and that's one reason among many I can't do what she does. I wish her strength, patience, and continued resilience. ❤
You stand your ground against officials looking for bribes. They ruin the country's reputation. Awesome scenery 👌. Great video's....always. Watching from Namibia 🇳🇦
Thats was a very polite and cool way of dealing with a matter, he tried to make reason but still deep dow he knows. Well done and God be with you all the way
When you kept saying you haven’t seen anyone in a while and the road was rough I kept saying, “oh God let Alaska be ok. Don’t want her to be stuck in the forest! “
I was thinking, if she came off the bike and sustained a broken bone or worse, she would be in serious trouble. I doubt phone would be much good to call for help or medical services. Mind you, I sailed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in a small boat 30 years ago with just my girlfriend, we had no means of calling for help unless a ship passed close to us, and we only saw 2 in 22 days.

OMG I was singing that song as she road away from them!
Her ability to communicate despite French not being her best language, with an individual whose French is probably not his native language and under very stressful circumstances is terrific. She has an amazing ability get along with all sorts of people. She open, yet no fool. Her laughter is very disarming. I wish there were more people like her. I’ll try to laugh more in my own daily life.
Noraly teaches me much.

I love getting Noraly’s notifications 🔔!!
@@tripdudette I was talking with someone on phone and as the notification of this video came , I disconnected the phone call and start watching the episode.
Another police officer attempting to trouble Noraly, hoping to coerce her into offering a bribe. Fortunately, Noraly didn't succumb to this. This guy will surely face consequences once this incident goes viral in Cameroon.
The corrupt cops in a previous video were so he might be too, albeit the other cops were in a different country.
i hope so
I really hope so.
The cops 👮 that asked for bribe in Nigeria faced disciplinary charges now they have no jobs
The other officers got in trouble because they asked for money. This guy was smarter. To be honest, I’m not even sure the guys that got fired weren’t joking. Noraly handled it like a boss, joking right back and preventing any conflict. I’m not sure I could as well.
Thank you Noraly for standing your ground to the rogue officer. The other guy wanted nothing to do with the dumbness of his colleague

Good for you Itchy Boots!!!!! This is exactly my experience in Africa, the people are super friendly and very helpful, but then you come across officials, many of whom, want to extort you for money. Not all, but many. Even the other official knew they were correct.
So much admiration for standing your ground and just going on when your papers are correct!

Thought the same thing! 🤔😳
Sounded like a lot of people should lose their job, asking money for stamps.
But the guy having a problem with the international license, he wanted to find something wrong so bad and he didn't care what the other guy saying.
So that you may take his place.

My regular ❤route in Cameroon took me through 27 road blocks across the six towns we were putting telephone systems in. They often tried for money, or food, or CDs. Very rarely 😂did I give money. They would back off when I demanded to go into town to see their commandant. Middle of the month between paydays was the worse time. I wrote a series of articles called “the other Cameroon”.😢.
In zimbabwe we. Can get 6 road blocks in 12km
You capture Cameroon very well
This border Officer guy was making a big fuzz out of nothing. He was really relentless in put you in the corner and then probably demanding something. But you firmly hold ground and demostrarte secure , strength and confidence in a really stressful situation. You are definitely a tough, wise, patience woman......And that jungle long track. My goodness. Miles and Miles of deep isolated jungle. You are lucky to reach that small village and probably found accomodations there. Imagine this road after a heavy rainfall what it could be. Probably you would be stucked in deep jungle, covered in mud, completely alone and exhausted in a deep rainforest with elephants around and all sorts of animals. Would not be a good night resting until the sun rises. Your calmness, courage and determination is inspirational. 💪
I am glad he didn't forcibly stop you from crossing the border - I don't think I would have been so calm.
I don't think I've ever looked as much forward to watching a series on TV as much as I now look forward to your two weekly episodes on RUclips. You are a phenom, an inspiration to many. I can hardly wait for your next episode. Thank you..
I have to say I"m really proud of how you are nice with everyone, even in disagreement with the border guard, and always remain firm and positive. "Nope, my papers are fine. I'm leaving." without any yelling or physical conflict. Great way to handle it.
Wow, so impressed on how you handled that guy! To stand your ground so politely but firmly is a really tough balancing act, and then to simply get back on the saddle and leave was a master stroke. We can really learn a lot from how you handle yourself. ❤
Yes 💪🏻 Being able to speak your truth ....in a foreign land...with courage and clarity takes some doing.
I could say a lot about this wise guy, but you were smarter. Surprised how calm you stayed. Don’t let anybody keep you from your goals. You go girl ❤️
Let's hope this individual gets disciplined by his superiors. Well done Noraly, professional and strong as usual.
Just like they did to the Nigeria Policeman
YES, PLEASE. MAKE HIM ACCOUNTABLE
Corruption is institutional and flow from top to bottom. How can he be disciplined if he bosses are part of it
He will never get a reprimand from his superiors because of the graft that is imbedded into their culture. You also don’t think his co-hort is going to rat him out.
They are very hard punishment for corrupt activities, no doubt, but as in every poor country, the corruption don't stays on one level. Often are whole departments involved. From the little officer on the street, up to the highest superior. Those scams mostly only light up when one part of the chain breaks. And even then, only the lower scapegoat will be punished and the other stay in position.
This is the kind of official one dreads to encounter. He was trying to unnecessarily complicate things. Kudos Noraly for standing your ground 👏🏿

@@idowumohammed4689 It's not necessarily about race although it certainly can help. A local black female might have more trouble but a black female westerner using common sense, street smarts and who is self confident can go a long way too.
If you use common sense and do your homework beforehand it's never as dangerous as you might think. While you can be unlucky that could also happen closer to home. The biggest challenge however is getting all the paper work in order to allow you to cross the continent as an African.

Take what action the police officer was right. All the international licences and permit I have seen online has a stamp and signature by the issuing authority. Its surprising her own doesn't have one.

Yup trying to extort without actually saying it lol 😂
Typical African official unfortunately.
If it's not stamped and countersigned by the issuer it's not valid. The officer is correct. Anyone could have written it up.
You are allowed in Cameroon to use your Drivers Licence fora period of 60 days as a foreigner even without the International one.@@IFFYSOUNDS
If the officer says it is not correct, then it is rude for her to say "I'm gonna go because it is correct". No foreigner would dares do that in the US or Europe. This nonsense is only possible in africa. The officer never asked for money from her.@@IFFYSOUNDS
You are one gutsy lady. I am an African but i do not think i can dare undertake such journey. I rented a bus and travelled with my children to enable them see Nigeria for the first time, it was a journey i regretted. The harassment by the police was horrible. It was shocking to my children that people survived in such environment. I refused to bribe the police on every so-called check points. Africa, i weep for you my beloved continent.

I loved that wee moment too.. a little creature gently saying hello.
12:54 my first comment as I could not stop myself. That was very very courageous act!!! Bravo!!
International Driving Permits do not follow a standard design. UK-issued IDPs have a signature and stamp on the front, ones issued in The Netherlands don't. Her papers were in order. Noraly was 100% to hold her ground.
So maybe the official had not seen an idp with no stamp before and was just doing his duty.
That's what I thought. He didn't ask for money.@@10secondhowto17
@@humandroid53 Clealy he was shaking her down for money. All the places Noraly has been they don't even ask her for a drivers license. The International license was clearly stamped signed and dated by issuing authority and she shows it at 11:46
@@jasonzerbini2375 even the other officer knew he was pushing it
The UN Convention on Road Traffic, which governs the IDP, requires all issuing authorities to sign and stamp the first page and also stamp the permit category letter on the third page for document to be valid. I fault the officer for letting her go without correcting this error. It is not because she has gone through sixty countries that the document is correct. For some of those countries, her domestic driving licences might be enough, but not in Cameroon where there are special provisions for using the IDP since Cameroon is not even signatory to the current UN convention or the two previous conventions that govern the IDP. Let her check the requirements properly before getting into trouble in another country where the IDP is not recognised and the officers stand their ground.

After a day to digest and read comments what boggles my mind is.... up pulls a foreign woman alone on a motorcycle in this remote location. She arrives with cheerful friendly greetings and positive vibe. Surely a rare occurrence. Clearly a tourist. Passport confirms. Yet guy doesn't have an ounce of goodwill in his heart to wish her a safe journey and raise the gate. If ever a time to make an exception not to extort, it was here. Yet on the flip side Noraly as shown us many other locals that would do anything to help and protect her. Africa, the land of extremes. Peace!
Well said. We are here to look after her
Yes 👍 thank you
Yes, on the flip, that's what has always got me hooked on her episodes. It is as if I am on that journey too. Kudos Noraly, thumbs up to you @jasonzerbini2375 for your observations
Reality says, there are always corrupt arse holes. Moreso in countries built and run by corrupt governments. It's just a fact. And a good lesson for all of us lucky enough to live in modern westen countries, to keep our governments clean and honest. We've become lax, and it's time to refresh. I speak also for my country, the United States.
Corruption is creeping in here in very disturbing ways. The people need to be educated in their liberties, and always ready to clean house and stay Revolution minded. Being armed here in the US is one of the ways we do that. But even more powerful, are teaching our children how our Constitution works, and what liberties they already have. Modern society has gotten lazy, and we all live in a mindset of ASKING to do things that we already have a right to do! This mindset must be corrected, or the concept of freedom and personal liberties will wane, and be lost to time.
Sir, I am currently vacationing in the Dominican Republic. I have a car I purchased because I’m here often. Two days ago, the police pulled up to me near my house and asked me for documents. I gave him the docs then he said they are not good. So he took my keys and said let’s go to the station. When I got there another cop shows up and said just give me what you have and you get the car back. I told them I’m American and I’m a tourist. They didn’t care. I think that made that first for me 😅 at the end, I decided to pay because it was my birthday on that day. I just didn’t want to lose more time. Anyways it’s disappointing that as a foreign person in a foreign country, people really abused us because they think we have it all.
Honestly Noraly, you treat people, animals alike and the politeness doesn't change a bit even if you are in a critical situation.
Rides you are doing can be done by any other rider, but the way you are scaling the planet is just incredible and your videos instead of video, are visual journey. Thanks a lot for the experience. Stay safe and keep Exploring . God bless

That guy was taking chances. He was just afraid to say he wants money. You did well by standing your ground. 👏
The Cameroon authorities will see this video and they will lose their jobs.
He tried. He found out. Maybe later someone will let him pay for that shtick. As the saying goes: Do stupid things, pay stupid prices. Or something in that vein. Noraly doesn't deal prices for stupid behaviour. She simply refuses to play their stupid games. More often than not, she tries to solve problems with a bit of generosity and a big dollop of dutch cordiality, as far as I could glean from her vids. ;)
He was correct in that the IDP needs to have the stamp from the emiting authority for it to be valid.
@@tkautzor have you looked it up? Can you point us to a section of law?
@@LossMiImKraut no need to look it up, I know this. IDPs are regulated by an international convention, not national law.

@@baz-wc4fi you can talk about corruption and wanting money, fair. But sarcastic and condescending towards poor people? There is no running water let alone clean at that remote hut location. Surely no sewage pipes either in the forest. "Behind the hut" as you call it, is actually the place to urinate in the forest. There is no private cubicle with running hot water to go wash his hands and then wipe them on a white soft towel and dry them in an automatic Dyson air drier as you do. Maybe you should donate more to Africa. Then maybe he will have these creature comforts and wash his hands first before talking to you, and urinate in a warm private and cozy environment with ceiling speakers blasting relaxing music whilst reading his newspaper as you are enjoying every day.
