  In the North of Benin, the mythical Caravanners have left their honks for big trucks named “Titans”.
But if the tools are different, they kept their traditions, based on a tolerant Islam. By giving alms to their close and by dispensing their wealth, these caravanners builds Mosque and schools for the whole population.
Between Titans and mosques, the Wangaras, these caravanners, continue to pace up and down in the West of Africa. They defends their genuine vision of an Islamic society who combine benefits and faith, when everywhere else the Jihad and the Charia law are expanding, with the help of the petrodollars.
