Tuareg online doc on Al Jazeera
Just watched the first of a 3 x 45-minute documentary on Al J about the Tuareg following Libya's fall. Very well filmed if a little manipulated; not the sort of thing you're ever likely to see on mainstream TV.
Orphans of the Sahara - Al Jazeera English
Orphans of the Sahara is a three-part documentary series about the Tuareg people of the Sahara desert. It follows Tuaregs who fought for Muammar Gaddafi in Libya as they return home to crushing poverty in Mali and Niger, then as they launch a rebellion for an independent country in the Sahara, and as their dreams are crushed, first by al-Qaeda, then by French military intervention.
