It was impossible to make a deal (for complete liberty) with them in Bamako. For the other two car drivers, one French, one German, both experienced on this route, it was also a surprise.
I can only assume that the customs chief uses the compulsory military escort as a kickstarter for extra income with the customs escort (€ 75 - 100 per car).
