"THE TUAREG - FADING KINGS OF THE SAHARA"
Impoverished Tuareg lift water from a very deep well using donkey teams, Tabalak, Niger, September 26, 2009. Water is the centerpiece of Tuareg nomadic life, their travel routes and grazing go from well to well along centuries old aquifer lines. Global warming, drought, mining exploration and armed rebellion have all contributed to the hardship of these nomads everyday lives and the changes that are accelerating in Tuareg culture. |
