Video: Rebels Claim Statehood in Northern Mali

good reading, jenFad

The Tuareg have a wonderfull History.

'The claim of the Tuareg, who have risen up against the government repeatedly since Mali won its independence from France in 1960'

------they face slim odds of establishing a nation. Just ask Ahmed Abdi Habsade, a government minister in Africa’s other unrecognized state, Somaliland.

the Europeans1492 wanted the trade of the india, indies

--- the Tuareg controlled the Magreeb and would let No european pass

-- so columbus braved the sea to get to the indies......

now maybe the artificial colonialNations of morrocco, algeria, mali, niger, mauritania, senegal, nigeria, libya, egypt, somalia, etc. will remember their greatHistory and become Sovereign Nations of Free people....

Quite interesting information that you give because I didn't realize neither know anything about the Tuareg. Thanks for the history lesson!
