Dirkou - and its fuel.
 
Off chance sort of question.
Is anyone aware of anything that details just how Dirkou managed to keep itself fuelled? Kind of wondering if there is any kind if history of it out there.
Didn't one family dominate the sale of fuel?

Back in the day it was Jerome.
A report from 1999
M is for Marlboro piste: Libya to Agadez – 1999 | Sahara Overland
and 2002
Libya – Niger – Algeria (2002) | Sahara Overland
He had died in 2001 and the son took it on.

Who knows about now but I suppose there will be a supply if there is demand.

Hi Chris,

I think the main problem is the possibility to go to Dirkou with his own car for the moment....
Have you others infos about that?
