Tuareg homes

These are pictures of the nomadic Tuareg homes. These particular homes are made of millet stalks, formed in a circle. The type of home depends on which group of Tuaregs you encounter. Some homes are made of goat skins, and some are of woven mats which they form into a waterproof shell. All they own is inside the home. The cooking and living occurs outside every day. This means that water must be fetched daily, and the food storage is extremely minimal, if at all. Their diet consists mainly of millet and milk. They move to the south of Niger in the cold months from the Sahara desert to be by the grasslands for their camels and sheep, as well as for warmth as the desert can get very cool this time of year. In the rainy season, they move back to the desert, and the camels feed on the grass that grows in that area. There is an invisible line south of which if the livestock eat a farmer's crop in the growing season, the Tuareg's are responsible to pay the costs of this. North of the line is grazing land, and the livestock has full reign over the planted crops.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

Can I just say what a relief to find an individual who really understands what they are
talking about over the internet. You actually realize how to bring an issue
to light and make it important. More people have to
check this out and understand this side of
your story. It's surprising you aren't more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.
