An homage to Mano Dayak, the great Touareg freedom fighter and leader from Niger, who was killed in a plane crash in 1995. Dayak also made his name as the writer of several important books on Touareg culture and politics, and as the guide of the great Thierry Sabine during the annual Paris-Dakar rally. Abdellah starts off by evoking the desert where he was born before talking about another part of the Sahara, the Adrar de Bouss. This is the bush country where Mano Dayak's base was situated during the rebellion.
