The train that keeps Mauritania connected

During a five hour wait at Juba Airport in southern Sudan today (first our plane put its nose wheel into a pot-hole and had to be repaired, and just as it was ready to go another plane burst a tyre on the runway and we had to wait until that plane was eventually pushed clear by hand before we could take off) I was watching Al Jazeera on the TV in the airport and there was an interesting piece on the railway in Mauritania, which can be found on YouTube.
