Ethnic groups in Libya

In a riot of color, music and dance, thousands of Tuareg have flocked to the Sebeiba festival that marks the end of an ancient tribal feud and which once a year transforms an oasis town deep in the Algerian Sahara.

The nomadic Tuareg tribe of the Sahara are so progressive that they put liberal societies to shame. For centuries the tribe would cross the desert, oftentimes led by the blind who used their heightened sense of smell and taste to choose the right path.
