This documentary tells a lot of one side stories. They depict the Tuaregs as poor victims, but do not give a lot of objective background information. Very poor journalism from al Jazeera. In part one for example they claim Tuareg had to flee from Libya. But big parts of the Fezzan are under Tuareg-control! And according to a UN-funded report published in 2011 the Tuareg in Mali have more money then other ethnic groups. Yes, the Tuareg are poor, but on average less then other Malians. The Sahara is since at least ten years getting smaller instead of bigger.
