Lisbon, Friday the 4th of January 2008
A.S.O. cancels the 2008 edition of the Dakar rally

After different exchanges with the French government - in particular the Ministry for Foreign Affairs - , and based on their firm recommendations, the organisers of the Dakar have taken the decision to cancel the 2008 edition of the rally, scheduled from the 5th to the 20th of January between Lisbon and Senegal’s capital.

Based on the current international political tension and the murder of four French tourists last 24th of December linked to a branch of Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, but also and mainly the direct threats launched directly against the race by terrorist organisations, no other decision but the cancellation of the sporting event could be taken by A.S.O.

A.S.O.’s first responsibility is to guarantee the safety of all: that of the populations in the countries visited, of the amateur and professional competitors, of the technical assistance personnel, of the journalists, partners and rally collaborators. A.S.O. therefore reaffirms that the choice of security is not, has never been and will never be a subject of compromise at the heart of the Dakar rally.

A.S.O. condemns the terrorist menace that annihilates a year of hard work, engagement and passion for all the participants and the different actors of the world’s biggest off-road rally. Aware of the huge frustration, especially in Portugal, Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal, and beyond the general disappointment and the huge economical consequences in terms of direct and indirect repercussions for the countries visited, A.S.O. will continue to defend the major values of great sporting events and will carry on its engagement for a durable development through the Actions Dakar, started 5 years ago in sub-Saharan Africa with SOS Sahel International.

The Dakar is a symbol and nothing can destroy symbols. The cancellation of the 2008 edition does not endanger the future of the Dakar. To offer, for 2009 a new adventure to all the off-road rally passionate is a challenge that A.S.O. will take on in the months to come, faithful to its engagement and its passion for sports.

Procitao sam vec i stvarno mi je zao

E jebi ga a bas sam se pripremio reko Hayat ce imati reportaze bas super...kad hoces malo sutra...*ebem ti nerede zar nisu mogli nekako to zaobici???

Ne radi se o neredima.Prije 15 tak dana ubijena su tri Freancuka turista i cetvrti je ranjen.Napadnuti su bili samo zato sto su bili Francuzi.Po tvrdnjama TV odgovornost je preuzelo na sebe istureno krilo Al-quaid-e.
Prema tvrdnjama iste Tv spomenuta organizacija je najavila da ce sa istim tretmanom docekati i ucesnike Paris-Dakar.
Sto se tice zaobilaska pokusali su da razmotre BIS etapu ali su se osiguranja cvrsto pobunila i protiv trenutne etape (vizavi situacije) i protiv Bis etape.

koji sjeb, tako sam odusevljeno cekala na Dakar

Ma stvarno bezze, mislim razumijem ljude, al stvarno mi je bezze, ta Al-quaida mi pravo pici po zivcima,gade mi se.
Pravo mi je zao sto je otkazan dakar, bas sam se veselio, ipak je to jedan od najvecih svjetskih auto-moto dogadjaja.
Bas nije postojao niti jedan nacin da se taj dio zaobidje?
