Kenya and Tanzania -- Oct 2012 -- Part I of III

This was a horrendous gridlock traffic jam. This policeman (? -- I THINK he was a policeman) was trying to clear it up, with little success. Several informal "volunteer" civilian traffic directors had tried to direct it previously (some of them passengers who had jumped out of cars to try to direct traffic).

When they would get one car out of the intersection (to try to clear it) another would come in and take the place of the one who had just moved.
