We wondered that the only material in Arabic that we found on the tables at the Session on Climate Change - the 7th Session of The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues - was from Israel.

Now we found two Tuaregue delegates who gave us material in French dealing with incidents of August 26th, 2007 at Gougaram, Niger; November 23rd, 2007, Tchintabizguine, Niger; and April 10th, 2008, Kidal , Mali - where Tuaregs were killed by the more Arabized Niger and Mali authorities. This is an issue of human rights raised by the tribes that are closer to the original inhabitants - the indigenous  people - in those two African States.

Will their problem be looked at before it reaches Darfurian dimensions?
