Libya's Quiet War: The Tuareg of South Libya

In remote southwest Sahara, the indigenous Tuareg tribe - variously used and discriminated against by former strongman Muammar Qaddafi - fight for their place in a post-revolutionary Libya.
Living deep in Libya’s desert near large oil fields and lucrative smuggling routes, hundreds of miles from Libya’s capital, the Tuareg find themselves impoverished and isolated on this prized land.
Nowhere is this felt more than in the oasis town of Ubari. Here the Tuareg are pitted against former neighbors in a proxy battle for assets and power, backed by government and international interests.
VICE News travels to meet the Tuareg on the front lines of Ubari and the border town of Ghat, to find out what is really happening in this rarely visited land.

    Right, its bc after these countries get rid of their dictators running the country, they can't agree on who should run the country now. So they split into diff gangs and just start murdering each other. This is why Africa will be a shit hole pretty much forever. The thing is that these 1st world countries could help African countries but when they do all the Africans want to do is try to kill the people trying to help them. These people are so Fucking stupid it makes me cringe.

Ps.Haile Selassie I. : "..Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans which were supposed to help people grow spiritually.Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other......."

    Tuaregs are the nation not tribe, who controlled once the caravan trade routes over the western african desert. When the French came to their land in the 19th century they were met by great resistence, because of this when the French left they devided their land between five countries as a reprisal of their resistence. Since then the Tuaregs have come into a difficult situation in all countrires where they live.

    The song around the 23:00 minute mark is so beautiful, I had to look it up. It's called Ahoulaguine Akaline (I Greet My Country) by Bombino, if anyone else was looking for it. I wish for peace between the Tebu and Tuareg. It's a shame the borders imposed upon these tribes by colonial powers took absolutely no account of cultural or tribal identities. Had they not been imposed, this world could have been a much more peaceful place.

So thank you , I've waited for a comment like yours .and looked hard and now I'm complete. But in my own search Ive found such calming musiç so beautiful, especially to me cuz I live in a semi desert area on my reservation . So I felt this tribal music of the tuareq ppl and this episode opened awhole new genre of wold music that hasn't hit me as hard as the song you heard as well. I am also tribal from the Ohkay Owingeh tribe in new mexico so I appreciate all music that is traditional music towards ppl who never would hear it unless you visit, I once I heard that guitar I was blown away on how peaceful it made me feel .

    I find it interesting how conscious of the outside world these guys are. Like the way, talking about the person living in the tent, he said "it's the 21st century and someone is living like this." That's really interesting because in that area, everyone is living in run-down cinderblock houses at best. Even though he's probably never traveled more than 200 miles from home, he's aware of the kind of living conditions that people in the outside world are experiencing.
