520 _a"With his black burnoose and piercing tan eyes set in angular, leathery features, Ali Yougouda is the very picture of a Tuareg, a stoic nomad who juggles two wives, 10 children and life on the Sahara's fringes without breaking a sweat. Until he talks about his herd. In May [2005], he was tending 68 head of cattle and sheep. Today he has 18 cows and bulls. He is devastated, bereft." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article discusses the emotional bond between Niger's nomads and their animals and describes how the hunger crisis in Niger is affecting the nomadic way of life.
