1a Reading
1
Deep in the Sahara Desert of North Africa, one of the most inhospitable
regions on the planet, live the Tuareg, an ethnic group of around 1 million
people. Over thousands of years, the Tuareg have learned to adapt to the
harsh conditions of the desert, and today they have a reputation for being
some of the most resilient people on earth. Traditionally, the Tuareg are a
nomadic people. They travel from place to place with their few
possessions, instead of settling in one area, the majority looking for new
sources of food and water for their livestock. While so many people value
and find comfort in the idea of ‘home’, it is clear that a nomad’s home can
be just about anywhere at any given time.
2
The Tuareg are made up of a large number of tribes who travel together,
each consisting of between 30 and 100 families. Sometimes, these tribes
will gather together into a bigger unit known as a ‘kel’. Within the kel,
Tuareg society consists of a very small upper class of nobles and a larger
lower class of workers. Many years ago, Tuareg society also included a
third class, slaves, but thankfully this practice no longer exists. Individuals
feel a strong sense of identity to the kel they belong to. Each member of a
kel has a duty to protect and help other members in times of need.
3
Outsiders often refer to Tuareg men as ‘the blue men of the desert’. This
is because Tuareg men often wear an indigo-blue veil called a
‘tangelmoust’. This covers all of the Tuareg’s face except for his eyes and
the top of his nose, and is worn when in the company of women and
strangers. For Tuareg men, the tangelmoust is a sign of manhood and
they believe it guards against evil spirits. Of course it is also practical in
protecting the face against the sun and blowing sand. Women, on the
other hand, do not have to wear a veil, but instead wear a scarf to cover
their hair.
4
Although the Tuareg have largely managed to retain most of their
population, in recent times, largely due to drought, some Tuareg families
have abandoned their nomadic lifestyle to settle down in towns and cities.
But settled Tuaregs never lose their sense of identity and neither are they
treated with disapproval by the kel they leave behind. Some even work as
guides, helping visitors discover the fascinating Tuareg way of life.
