Gao is completely closed up, everyone is afraid and inside their homes when the onvoy first arrives, little by little people realize that the rebels are gone, and a full scale celebration happens on the streets. Women take off their veils, men smoke, everyone is excited to finally be free after almost 10 months of occupation.
