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.
