The Republics of Niger and Mali may soon see an end to rebellion in the regions A. There may be an end in sight to the unrest that has been plaguing the northern part of the Republic of Niger and its neighbor, Mali. Our correspondent Yusuf Mamman says that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has brought together the Tuareg rebels, and that they have sat down and discussed the effects of their rebellion. B. The Libyan leader held the meeting with the Tuareg tribes in the village of Ubari, in southwestern Libya. Several issues were discussed during the meeting, in particular the issue of insecurity and unrest that has been plaguing this part of Africa. The main event that took place at this meeting was a speech by Colonel Gaddafi, in which he said that anyone who had taken up arms in the name of rebellion should lay down their guns and return to a life focused on developing the economy of their countries, especially Mali and Niger. Colonel Gaddafi said that the agenda of creating a country for the Tuaregs in that region—an issue stirred up by Mali, Niger and Libya or Algeria—was invalid and outdated. He also urged them to abandon trading tobacco and cocaine, and to return home to develop their countries. After Colonel Gaddafi finished his speech, MNJ [Niger Movement for Justice] leader Agali Alambo gave a statement on behalf of the combined groups that had called for rebellion in Niger and Mali, in which he explained in Tuareg that they would follow what Colonel Gaddafi said, and that they wanted to sit down at the reconciliation table to attain lasting peace. In order to show their acceptance of Colonel Gaddafi’s advice, Agali Alambo said that as of last Monday, the 18th. of this month, they would lay down their weapons and would also hand over to the Libyan leader nearly sixty prisoners that they have been holding, because of his efforts. He also said that they rely on God and Gaddafi to find ways to discuss the problems peacefully. |

Notes
On the Tuareg Rebels
1. The Tuareg are a nomadic pastoralist people, and are the principal inhabitants of the Saharan interior of North Africa. Before French colonization, the Tuareg were organized into loose confederations, each consisting of a dozen or so tribes. Each of the main groups had a traditional leader called _Amenokal_ along with an assembly of tribal chiefs. Following the independence of African countries in 1960s, Tuareg territory was artificially divided into modern nations: Niger, Mali, Algeria, Libya, and Burkina Faso. Long-standing competition for resources in the Sahel has impacted Tuareg conflicts with neighboring African groups, especially after political disruption and economic constraints following French colonization and independence, tight restrictions placed on nomads, high population growth, and desertification exacerbated by global warming, and the increased firewood needs of growing cities. Today, some Tuareg are experimenting with farming, while some have been forced to abandon herding and to seek jobs in towns and cities.
