Tuaregs

[madkeyra]

Love the video and the song. I feel in love with the song. I must have played it several times.

[MrAmazigho]

what about vandals, etc. in their migration in North Africa has been isolated people most of their stay in North Africa until they migrate back to Europe again when the Romans have defeated them. so vandals are not remaining in North Africa as many ignorant people think. there are no arguments for the Vandals had assimilated with the Berbers. read the first story of the Vandals then we can discuss more about it

[MrAmazigho]

WRONG: North Africa has always been inhabited by the whites as a majority and other various skin tones as a minority. the ancient Egyptian sources tell just by the various kings and queens through time their skin color and where they come from, etc. .. but they do not reflect the entire population of skin color as black. the Egyptian sources tell whether each king or queen of their color and their life history, etc. and the same applies to the ancient Libya and the rest of North Africa

[PimpThe478]

@0:21 I see Venus Williams.

[PimpThe478]

Wow this is Africa.Tuaregs must be white because I'm only seeing white people I have to agree with people who say they are Berber white.

[LubnanDeluxii]

I've a question.. I'm really interessted in the Tuaregs and I want to know everything about them.. so I would like to know if there are also white Tuaregs? Maybe with the look of Syrish people for example? Because I only saw dark tuaregs..

@ZIPITD

You pale faced people, especially europeans, look more like monkeys no? The wrinkles in the face, thin lips, flat bullet heads, and very hairy bodies? Am I right?

[blowme83x]

Great vid! =) great song

[lionzion22]

Man just shut up. You talk like a white american with ample time and access to wikipedia and the internet. America or Americans got nothing to do with the divisions in that part of Africa that existed long before there was an America. White and light skinned (mixed) ones like you have always had racists attitudes to darker (original) West African populace. You are no different than modern white (Spaniard) Mexicans who try to claim the Aztec legacy as their own.

[bahrainkuwaitlove]

what is this music:?

[tomludwig1]

@bahrainkuwaitlove sounds like bombino from niger , he is a great guitarist. listen to the song tar hani on you tube

[bahrainkuwaitlove]

hmm are they morrocans 0:18 ?

cuz arabs are not africans

[Wassil29]

lool now Hausa and fulba are Tuaregs? you must be kidding ;)

You want to see tuaregs? checkout my video titled the tuaregs

watch?v=7PSnGtQcvLA

[inigopastor]

@Wassil29

tuaregs are not the same everywhere (you know, 7 countries, different regional tamasek...) even faces. you probably know agadez is the niger capital of tuareg people, but living together with haussas (is there really a haussa people in the same terms?) and peuls. Just have a look to your video, and the faces you are using. nice video!! (a little bit boringwith so much text and some wrong sentences. the photos are so folkloric and not yours. I took my own).

[Wassil29]

cont

The problem isn't in Africa where people managed to live side by side peacefully but unfortunately there are people in America who would want to export their race relations problems to us and in the same time writing off North Africans from their history and dismissing us as invading Arabs, Turks or even Europeans.

Tamajaq, Tamasheq, Tamahaq, Tamazight are all a slight variation of the same word and identity.

[inigopastor]

@Wassil29

Sorry, my friend, this is a old fashion discussion I don't want to continue. I fully agree with the whole thing, but I don't understand why you talk about cultural vandalism, Afrocentrism and put together 10 wikipedia sentences to argue. You don't understand a word of what it expressed in the video. I like the video, the photos, my tuareg friends and the desert. THE END

[osiruskat]

@Wassil29 you are soo right. Americans should focus on American culture and respect other peoples culture and not dump their beliefs on race on others.

[eazydee415]

@Wassil29 Becus u r descended frm invaders most modern north africans have neanderthal in thm while native africans have no neanderthal dna how did it get in africa

[eazydee415]

@Wassil29 Fake turegs

[MrAmazigho]

in Morocco, we have also black Berbers for example Rachidia region and is also in many other places in morocco. they look exactly as Tuareg. Berbers are both white and black people, it might be it sounds very strange but Berbers have always been such a different skin color since time immemorial

[ReturnoftheBrotha]

@MrAmazigho: Nah, Blacks and browns if you will, are the natives to Africa while anyone else is mixed or invaders. Do not forget that GERMANIC (oval heads, blond hair blue eyes with white skin) invaded NW Africa along with Roman occupation allows for mixing. The true source is ancient Egypt. The Ancient Libyans look like black Berbers comeplete with feathers and hairdos - no whites. Egyptians were darker than the Libayns so that tells you all that you need to know.

[MrAmazigho]

this song is about fire. thimasi means fire in the Tamazight language and accent is one hundred percent Tamazight no doubt about it.

[MrAmazigho]

amazigh from marocco. this is amazigh song because I understand what they saying and accent is tamazight too like riffians accent

[MuhamadElHady]

It's not twareg.There are a few twareg on this vidéo.Many people in this land have the apparence of twareg but they 're not twaregs.

[DjamilaMakeupLover]

tuareg are saharians they are known as the dark skinned berbers

some now are mixed black or look full black

[Doubleak80]

it's sad with all the uranium they possess that corruption by the Europeans & their own government leaves these very people and others who inhabit this land poor, it's why corruption should be banished and the people need to be taken care of. Too much URANIUM EXPLOITATION going on and the people are left in the dark to suffer

[inigopastor]

@Doubleak80 Thanks. You are fully right

[quepasa3000]

Most of these people are fulani not tuareg, very few are tuareg, they are not maghrebien, they are west african

[inigopastor]

Thanks for your comment, but tuareg people don't look the same in their 7 countries. In northern Niger, where the photos were taken, they are the majority, and most of the images were taken in nomad areas, close to l'Aïr mountains. You will see there peul faces, not many, and some "haussa" people, but the area is mostly tuareg

[quepasa3000]

@inigopastor , Yes their are many different faces in the video but most are Fulani/peul, the man at 2:08 is Tuareg, 2:30 - 2:50 is Tuareg. Im from west africa so i can easily identify the faces of many of our tribes. No offence but their are more Fulani/peul than Tuareg in this video

[Wassil29]

@inigopastor

Hausa culture should be respected but so do Songhai, Tuareg and others

Respecting cultural Identity/belonging doesn't equate racism or division, nomadic tribes appreciate and live by those simple rules.

We cannot make an ethnic/cultural soup and then label it as Tuareg, Songhai or anything else.

Tuareg have been suffering severe repression by the Hausa dominated regime in the south, in addition to environmental catastrophe, should we also deprive them of their true identity?

[lionzion22]

@quepasa3000

Aren't Tuareg also "West African"? Most of them live in Mali and Niger no? According to the map, even Algeria is in West Africa no?

[extraterrestrialbibi]

@lionzion22 yes it is that's my ancestors right there my grand ma migrated from niger to nigeria because of a better life they are mixed with arabs as you can tell

[HABIBGRANADA]

this people are maghrebian , not sudafricano, the maghreb united need to unite for take the earth touareg because the are barbar and arabic, of course the are nortafricans i love this people i want to see country berber arab from mouritania morocco alger tunisia libya and touareg

[inigopastor]

Sorry, I don't understand your message. if u see the information of the video you'll it was recorded in Niger, the country with most tuareg population. Thanks

[WarriorCulture777]

@HABIBGRANADA THERE ARE MORE BLACK MUSLIMS THAN THERE ARE ARABS IN THE WORLD. tHERE ARE MORE MUSLIMS IN NOTHERN NIGERIA THAN ALL OF ARABIA.

[WarriorCulture777]

@HABIBGRANADA THESE PEOPLE WERE THERE LONG BEFORE ISLAM AND ARABS, AND THEY ARE BLACK. THERE ARE MORE BLACK MUSLIMS THAN THERE ARE ARABS IN THE WORLD. THERE ARE MORE MUSLIMS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA THAN ALL OF ARABIA.

[kemkmia]

BERBER PEOPLE FOREVER = AMAZIGHS

[moddestmike]

Could someone please tell me where or if I can purchase this beautiful song.

[yescarla]

Hi Modestmike,

I found this song in the Itunes store: Imuhar by Omar Moctar. The other songs of the album are great too, like all touareg music! It's called Ishumar (Mali-Niger touaregs) a.o.Tinariwen, Terakaft,

[Canfeelsosickk]

Hoy en clase he presentado un trabajo antropológico sobre esta gente, y, aunque lo he intentado, no he sido capaz de no involucrarme emocionalmente. Me parecen impresionantes...No puedo parar de 'cantar' esta canción...Me encanta todo de ellos y me jode que por culpa de la ignorancia de la 'civilización' se vean afectados. Me siento tan culpable por pertenecer a esta sociedad que en cuanto pueda iré alli, a lo que haga falta.

Una adolescente dolida.

[pidopoco]

Vi a Dios en el rostro de esos niños, ojala algún día la justicia merezca su nombre

[Maripoosapeace]

me gusta el vid y la qualidad!!

[phaena]

bom video. era preciso que mais pessoas o vissem...

[fiffian]

Choquant!Vraiment!Jusqu'à quand les occidentaux vont-ils pillés les richesses de l'Afrique sans une distiribution équitable des profits aux populations qui habitent sur les sols qu'ils exploitent,Obama prône le changement!et bien espérons qu'il pense à l'Afrique,car son père et toute sa famille paternel y réside!

[trivialpo]

vive les touareg et les berber du monde
