The Tuareg regions of Azawagh and Ayr were annexed by the French to the newly independent state of Niger in 1960, and have been struggling for independence for more than two decades.
The armed conflict between Tuareg freedom fighters and the Niger armed forces has contributed little to improving the lives of the Tuareg people living in the region.
The Tuareg people continue the fight for the independence of the whole region of Tenere, with its main cities: Agadez, In Tibaraden, Abalagh, Tawa (Tahoua).
