Deadliest RoadsCameroon

The bravest drivers in Cameroon are named the “Clandos”; the name comes from the word clandestine or illegal. They drive illegal taxis and are the only ones who are brave enough to navigate the country’s dangerous road networks, some of the worst on the African continent. Only 2% of the roads have been asphalted. All of the country’s inhabitants rely on the Clandos’ taxi services, they have no other choice. The country has no railway and taking airplanes is both too expensive and too dangerous.
