"THE TUAREG - FADING KINGS OF THE SAHARA"
Early morning scenes in a remote Tuareg Nomad camp, Ingal Region, Niger, 11 October 2009. Tuareg Nomads have two traditional priorities, their animals and access to water. This group has moved to this region at this time to enjoy the remaining good grassland of the rainy season and will soon move again to be close to a good water source. The nomads survive on a diet of millet and camel milk which is occasionally supplemented by goat meat. Global warming, mining exploration and armed rebellion are all accelerating change in traditional Tuareg life. |
