Yes, the Tuaregs of Mali are disappearing too. They're off to Mauritania. They don't like RTP, ethical foreign policies and humanitarian intervention. I can't say I blame them for getting out while they can with all those foreigners with guns running around all over their homeland.
The French arm of the NATO alliance is helping the army of the Malian state retake the northern area of Mali, the area that proclaimed its independence last year, and which was then overrun by NATO allies called Al Qaeda, thereby providing the pretext for Western intervention and a future occupation by French soldiers, and mercenaries, euphemistically known as security contractors, third world thugs doing the dirty work for first world corporations and governments.
Hundreds of thousands of Tuaregs have fled to Mauritania, fearing for their lives. They are not so much fleeing Al Qaeda, but the Mali army which is entering their lands from the south.
The local people accuse the Mali army of terrible atrocities.
They claim that people are being murdered on account of their race, that the lighter skinned Tuaregs are being ethnically cleansed by the darker skinned southerners.
Half the population of Tuaregs are now refugees.
The land is being emptied.
When the French and the Malian armies entered Timbuktu they found that most of the people had fled.
They were afraid to stay and be on the receiving end of the benevolent reprisals of their humanitarian liberators.
Once again ordinary people have been attacked by the hierarchy of the military bureaucratic complex.
Islamists, NATO, the government of Mali, all share one thing - they wish to destroy the autonomy of a peaceful independent people.
