    The Tuareg people are a semi-nomadic group indigenous to parts of Southern Algeria, Northern Mali, and Northern Niger. The Tuaregs are considered part of the Berber (also known as Amazigh) ethnic group that is indigenous to North Africa. It is currently believed that the Tuareg migrated from what is today known as Libya in the 6th century down to the North-West African Saharan region. They are both ethnic and cultural minorities in all of the countries they inhabit, and their global population is estimated between 750,000 and 1.5 million. Although the Tuareg represent a small proportion of the population in these countries, they occupy a very large territory of land. The traditional settlement area of the Tuareg people covers approximately 2.5 million square kilometers, a size that is comparable to that of Western Europe. Though because they are primarily settled in the Sahara, this area is sparsely populated…
