just one day, he crossed the way of an fanatic illuminated, and has been the drama,  don't need more than one, unfortunately ... the Tuargui society is a little bit particular - women are unveiled, but men are ... veiled, at their puberty - women are owner, for their lands, their flocks, and so - men are no more than the "guards" for these assets - it's the women who choose their husband, for wedding it's her, she made the demand ... and the list is long ... society very engaging, fascinating, but now living completely out of our time I know a little, to have attended them, during my professional life in South Sahara à + Dom |

Hi Dom,
They are indeed a fascinating people. I have wanted to make a trip in the western Sahel regions but sadly the current geopolitical situation from Mali through Niger and North Nigeria make this not a great idea right now.  Some of the cultural traits you mentioned among the Tuareg, like the position of women, also occur in neighboring groups like the Fulani.  Probably the most documented being the ritual for young men of the Wodaabe including elaborate face makeup.Very interesting to hear you spent time in those regions. I always love hearing stories about these groups from people that traveled and met them.

for present time, just forget it ... previously, a war has to pass over, to clean all the dust over there ...  then, may be later ...  but not before at least 2 to 3 years, at the best let's hope for the best, specially for the civilians, not engaged in political protestation, or religious fights, but who any way, will have to pay the expensive price, to be there all the best à + Dom |
