Sahara: Tuareg Nomads Watering Flock


In this 1970 picture taken in the Republic of Niger, Tuareg nomads en route to Libya through the Sahara’s AÏr Mountains, stop to water sheep and goats. They were part of a large caravan that included many camels that do no need to drink before reaching their goal. In those days, oil-rich Libya paid considerably more for Tuareg animals than did Niger, one of the world’s poorest countries.
