The diplomatic distortions between Libya and Switzerland are well-known for nearly two years. Switzerland refuses the Schengen visas to Libya. Now 21 states are pulled into the conflict. At present no visas for Libya are given. This problem concerns naturally also to all organizers in Libya. The situation was hopeless. But sometimes a phoenix rises out of the ashes. After 8 days of hard work and infinitely many discussions my vision is now reality. The Libya Rally Raid and the Belgian Libya Rally pool together and will start together in Tunesia with about.200 teams. A wave of the solidarity strikes us against. The Rally Camp shows its marvelous effect: Jörg Schumann (El Chott) supplies the Roadbooks. Gerd Töpperwin (Sahara Master) offers his Roadbook. Jörg Russler (Grand Erg) offers its assistance. Jörg Steinhäuser procured in the short time all necessary permissions. Which happens at present no one would probably think about one year ago. We will write a new page in the history of the Rally Raid sport.
