11:22 am
as far as possible to the result. on sunday we will reach the 1st well. still 86 kilometers away i hope we can manage it in 2 days. i could even make it in one day but not with a new bond for you that's what. it is for you and the very last. the world. when i was a small boy i often accompanied my father. once we saw a flash of lightning in the distance my father said son there will be rain there. that same evening he asked me whether i thought we should head that way and that i was still very young but besides my father i was the only herder there. the
11:23 am
next morning he gave me a canister with milk and said do you see those acacia trees in the distance that's the direction you need to bring the camels will meet their. thanks for the milker perfect timing. for the if and when my father had joined us we had to travel with the herd another 7 days it and the next watering point was 5 and we weren't sure whether it would be dried up. good or the learned in its own. lavish announcer eventually we reached the place where the lightning had struck and everything was green if we stayed there for 3 months is it that i learned so much on that journey that was a long time ago i was still a child. and today i'm going to yes i like living here so that this fire
11:24 am
that we're sitting around is more precious than all the riches of the world. at the heart but i've yet. to hear of. it's early in the morning and still call the huggers with clothes to keep old but also to protect them from sunlight and. with everything securely packed they ready to move on 12000 of scorching sun await the nomads in the head of camels and guns.
11:25 am
was. 800 years this tribe has been mucking his animals with branding irons. it reads in k in arabic letters which stands for mecca. mark indicates how important the animals are to the headers.
11:26 am
and then we can then know the film so will our profit also spoke about camels related. not for nothing are they the pride of their owners. we grew up with them they are our lives we have an. i want to but our parents taught us how to milk and she a camels about camel pregnancies and birthing about how to tame them and how to nurse them back to health. now there's no need to you know that it. would be rank but every animal is different and has a particular position in the herd. they always stick together and they can withstand the greatest.
11:27 am
candles a dose of irony also why haven't these reverberating crews of protests against been tied up but without the drugs the camels would walk on alone. they know the way to the sun to camp and remember that there is food and water the. same. amount.
11:28 am
there's just 3 of us. oh and for glasses i've only seen w. . you have right move your bread from there i need space for the pot and. put the bread here. because he's fantastic. about the mentors missing. is always complaining even demand. the world 100 me is never satisfied he always has devices opinion take care of your own things they do not believe. this is and good for theirs and you know she's has no hasn't and she's bullish. it was a little. they called what i call
11:29 am
a very shaky so if she's listening i wouldn't share the codes are not part of the caravan their milk and meat sustain this. job if someone has to keep guard the camels aren't allowed to mix with the goats parked the car over there ok i'll take care of its past. there are only a few wells in this region so their location lashley determines the route 3 days have gone by and the most results need to transition to full months the camels got washed only from spastic situation which is able to grow here to see some little rain camels can drink very quickly and are able to store up to 200 liters of her tightly digestive inserter tree system but there isn't enough time for that now
11:30 am
other heads are already waiting in mom and his assistant city mohammed who lead to tonic keep having to chase away other camels and to treat their own. mom. ought. to. turn in which hired. him very much so. if. it's the 4th day and so far has made good progress they traveled 160 kilometers
11:31 am
lunch time is i fit your. command never say the. my girl is called side and kind of a she really took it out of me today. my whole body is sore i feel like i can't get up that's good but she's been running left and right i can't get her to come to her but then. that's that's like me another week to prepare and you can get to some calls you only need 3 to 5 days the best because normally it takes a long time to tame them. with so many you'll never manage to get they'll keep dragging you into tree nuts and throwing you off. so i did that. on the bedroom. i'm used to this life and this work in the unit living in the city isn't for me like the salad here i made here then and when it in the sahara i know how to
11:32 am
survive ok i mean i like the lifestyle as a herder. i mean it in a come. after maybe i could manage in a city too. but i prefer being with a compass. then under. the nice. hand that's a really old saw what. do you mean that's. one of her early songs is the man who know you know if you. could the countries in the world and you can use to beat it we'd be sitting here with poets and sing is a new word in that they'd sing about the landscapes and would almost complete it
11:33 am
was shouted out alone to the best when you were dearest how close you are but the sky is collapsing over the hills just the smallest dog remains where our innocence you plays only everything will be different now would you like your tea strong or weak as you and i. will have it the same as you. just only could like your cousin does he's the only one who can drink thought would i make it better to you what you missed this summer. yes that's true. i think i'll make you a good. thanks for your 30 here's another poem my beloved stands on a hill the wind tells me of her finger where is my ring my neck carries her amulet it will guide me to hate. when you would have it do you have another poem about your lady i know that. look to shit yeah
11:34 am
and i doubt i actually did sing a poem about that beauty mark on her cheek. and the. furrows beauty marks are special. you know the face of my beloved one beauty mark burned stripping my heart of a choice you had to hide them of how nice. the female chemists have to be milked junichiro and he has well milk from all of the herds going to some a camp is collected and taken to a supply and the herd is take turns milking today it's more or less responsibility what in the past come in milk was for families in guests but today it's become an important source of income for the hood. was.
11:35 am
the sentiment of a lot of the other i don't have to drive a while to get here. ready and ready go get over the come on let's hurry. oh not a nice spot here i have to spend a winter in a bar and the area. that. has to leave it to end to milk is becoming popular so healthy nectar is free alternative to milk from cows held in a factory it's also valued by the cosmetics industry to supply us with when they has an appointment to bring the fresh snow to the town of laon 150 kilometers away who will be processed further.
11:36 am
less only 6 am we drive as fast as we could. find it here. but there was you know. they didn't they do that. well look we've got conduct the bread is in the box who was over there going to. come to you in the wheel something to. shield. so i mean we delivered around 1000 liters and we got $0.80 per liter.
11:37 am
as a high demand would blow ok everyone wants to buy camel milk it's in great demand. look at the question we give the milk to a supplier who delivers to small shops and areas in the city. but in my lot we have wanted to make a supply chain more professional for a long time. but we would need subsidies for that which we don't get. now is that just the way it is looking and i think we wrote to the director of agriculture and my own. girl said yes soon. it was the same with the feed 8 love measure. but that didn't arrive in time either . it was not until the summer was over or your 1st thoughts as you were that we ordered it in math but if the money doesn't arrive until september it's of no use.
11:38 am
we have formed an association to get funding. but so far there are only the membership fees on the account. with a cheap running low on petrol they head for disappear station. she kept on paul slowly i can't stand the smell and then stand back. there she is there on the field do you have anything on sale here you know i'd like some cookies maybe these bonds with. us so.
11:39 am
you know. if you have a crooked stick like this and wanted to be straight dig a hole in it and make a fire wait until it's really hard and then move the embers aside and cover the stick with the hot sand. they're. going to give it just a quick yes just that bit. once you notice the wood has gotten softer take it out and straighten it it's that easy. to get. you to grow up if you like it like this that's fine too. i just had looks like a storm is coming. after
11:40 am
3 hours the storm subsides every day the herd is a confronted with nature's power and the so how are you such a inching many plants and animals have disappeared in recent decades.
11:41 am
kind of driving this landscape used to have a lot to offer different plants including acacia and plenty of animals like gazelles antelopes ostrich is rabbits and highness. today that's all gone actually it's just kind of the you also don't see wolves foxes and many types of birds anymore and i think they've all disappeared i think to. go anywhere unless i feel back in the day there were even wild cats here and it was dangerous to work around alone before we could easily hunt as we traveled and we always had enough to eat that's what nomadic life used to look like and that we know we all know that like magic you 1st.
11:42 am
of. all a and a mom i'm worried about the upcoming stretch the head has to pass through an area completely devoid of lucifer and food and with this trius dust. under the scorching sun the young animals will stop walking and die miserably in the heat as with the gods. the only way in mama moulay can see them making it across this deadly zone with the animals is to cross at night to. see that stark work toward it. will. just keep going stright. you can only cross this area at night almost nothing for i was here last night 6
11:43 am
trimly dry and haunts the animals can only make it if we go at night exactly. contact. i won't taste but it was just right is that it. we drive ahead with a cock and he used the lights went around sure the city governments all over the load as i'm sure. know that there. was a mandatory work that ensured work that they just need to follow our lights on and there's some of our children city mohammed if you want to start. to.
11:44 am
shoot. me in. a 100 mi hold these. 2 mom has had to take extra care of the goats chewing the night they feel far behind the camels and it was too much for the smallest one. in the early morning the camels pick up the pace as did the coyotes it seems that they continued his clothes. cheer.
11:45 am
up. we are. going to take the well has much too little water we have to wait until it rises. well that's going to take at least 2 to 3 hours. work. when i've got to pick up i'm sure other herds will come this won't be enough for everyone. under. the table i'm going to find out about the other day to. kill. them but to go to the animals and make sure the herds don't make it work but thank
11:46 am
god but. this agitation i think the lack of. the 1st the animals are getting impatient once again see the muhammad has his hands full as he tries to keep the head close to get through the watering hole he can't lose a single campaign. mom is also busy you know kate's hoses and brings water to the goats they have to hover in while the water in the world lasts only after a live be able to breast implants. i. think i
11:47 am
think i. i don't know. if they've been here for 4 months i actually don't know exactly my parents live there they're doing. so do you miss them then going to the senate and it is even
11:48 am
a little and of course i miss them it'll be another year before i'll be able to see them again willing. to walk. you're also here to make money. but they may not want to sometimes we stay in mauritania. sometimes we go to other countries. so what's your biggest wish cd mohamed that again. unless i want to be independent . i don't want to have to rely on their parents. and i want to build a future for myself into your when they saw. a. little note how it was
11:49 am
a tough stretch but we made it. a man to follow the stocks but they went a little off course with a well we found each other again on the news with a clean but they haven't been this year what about when it's cloudy and then we switch on the warning lights in the jeep and they can one of us said how do you find the way to work no no no mr onstott right here is orientation the lawyers and i we can get lost. and i've loved it up every day that stretch has its own plants they did you know that they exist only there and nowhere else in the store not when we always know where we are. the stars in the plans guide us both day and night know what i we just have to touch the earth and i know where we are. going to.
11:50 am
do with. the book what's going on. i have terrible back pain i don't feel well enough to handle it and that's from walking so far and being tired show me where does it hurt. when i can. have you already done something i applied as sound. as the area with olive oil it's pretty swollen. and i of course really thank. god but now you have to stay still and keep warm it's because of the exertion and the cold last night so strenuous. that you'll feel better after the message but you should take it easy just the favorite that's not what i'm going to check on the herd i'll be right back sweat a little and have packed up and then we did what. tonight
11:51 am
spain the journey has taken longer than planned but the delhi conflicts attention indicates that they are the most thing around today small and they would have made it to the summit can. do that without it. there was a. minor child. given that. i think could have come out as well that you know what on their summer book but that's not bad be awfully good about them not. what you're. sure of that some days you hope. that out oh. yeah i'm not on.

11:54 am
valley of their childhood the nomads feel at home. they had will stay here for 5 months and in manama lay can spend time with their families in my own again. in the lightning in the distance announces the 1st rains it will be time for them to leave again with their and return to what they spend the winter is just like their fathers and forefathers did. azamara doors at the house where i taught how to shut my eyes cut started i got out and up. to much more that yeah but i'm not going to let up without knowing it on the toilet are going to force it to go about what i was already not
