"THE TUAREG - FADING KINGS OF THE SAHARA"
Tuareg Nomads end the Ramadan fast in the desert 60 miles north of Timbuktu with prayer and dancing, Timbuktu Region, Mali, September 21 2009. Dance and song have long been a part of traditional Tuareg culture. These traditions are now in decline as global warming, mining exploration and armed rebellion all accelerate changes in the culture of the Tuareg. |
