I translated the news.
----------
The organizer decided to cancel the Dakar Rally. It is the first time in the 3o-year history to be called off completely.
The reason is the worsening security situation in Mauritania.
A French family of 4 was killed during sightseeing in Mauritania last month. It is said that al Qaeda was involved in it. The French government expressed concern about holding the Dakar Rally and urged French racers not to participate in it.

Many racers were preparing for the race very hard. I feel sorry for them. Safety and their lives are most important though.
I had done rally before. (Of course, I had participated in just the internal events.) The essential things to participate in the rally are... physical strength, guts.. a---nd money.
