Agadez and Arlit in Niger are southern gates to the Sahara. The exclusion of the nomadic tribe from the mineral wealth on their territory triggered the Tuareg Rebellion in the 1990s. Unable to establish an independent Tuareg state, they use their tactical and topographic knowledge to run illicit migration routes through the Sahara.
