A future and a hope for the Tuaregs of North Africa

“Manipulated, the Touaregs in search for a way forward,” Arezki Daoud, North Africa Journal. “A dignified Berber population, the Touaregs often consider themselves as free nomadic pastoralist people and want to remain so. For decades, they have resisted pressure from various governments to force them to settle. But their refusal to do so led to retaliations in form of social segregation and economic "starvation." Vulnerable, the Touaregs have also become the toys of ruthless politicians and governments in the regions who have been using them to settle scores against one another.”
