En 2005 et 2006, nous avons eu la chance d’être guidés et aidés par Noël Innocent Palou, qui nous a accompagnés dans d’innombrables périples d’un côté à l’autre du pays banda, sans que nous sachions parfois ni où nous allions ni comment faire pour revenir à la maison. À Bambari, nous avons bénéficié du soutien, de l’hébergement et – dans de moments particulièrement difficiles – de l’amitié de Gabriel Andjigbodepou et de Robert-Claude Goffete II. C’est grâce à eux si, loin de chez nous, nous nous sommes toujours sentis en famille. Nous avons rencontré M. Victor Madayeka un jour de 2005, par hasard, en nous arrêtant sur la route devant sa maison alors que nous hésitions au tout début de nos enquêtes.
