Unfortunately, due to logistics, Fernando Carlos couldn't make it to N'Djamena for CASP 2018, but luckily the runner up from Luanda Slam could come. So we were very happy to have Bel Neto with us in N'Djamena.
Even with a long travel and over night transfer - Bel arrived in N'Djamena Thursday midday and went straight to the Baba Moustapha Arts Center where the group matches were held.
From the Airtport to the stage !
