TUAREG The Sahara
The camel protests. Its master needs it to stand. The Tuareg caravan must start moving again. The Tuareg are traders—always moving, always selling. They travel back and forth from the northern coast of Africa to the southern edge of the Sahara.
The camel carries salt, dates, and
sugar. It carries kola nuts, oil lamps, and gold. It carries whatever it can carry across the hot desert for its masters.
For thousands of years,
the Tuareg have roamed this desert freely. Now, the land has been divided into many countries. Borders hold the Tuareg back. Trains and trucks move faster and can carry more goods. The world does not want to wait for the slow and steady march of camels.
