Bamako, Mali! The Government in Mali has agreed to a peace accord and meeting the Tuaregs demand under the mediation of Algeria. Niger has always refused mediation or OUA Peace keeper since unlike Mali, Niger is rich in Fossil fuel resources such as Uranium and Oil. Those how ever are in the Tuareg territories! 

 The North and east of Mali have been The Home of the Tuareg for over 2000 years. Those however have known much oppression and abuse over the past 30 years form the Governments of Niger, Mali, Chad and Cameroon. 

In recent Years the Tuaregs have started to demand Justice, Rights and more freedom and equal democratic powers with in the Governments of West African Nation, wish lead to more oppression from those respective Governments and pushed the Tuareg into a fight for their very survival!
Mali unlike Niger or Chad has agreed to out side mediation and even Military intervention from Algeria. Wish has lead to this recent peace accord and established some Justice for the Tuaregs in Mali.
Niger on the other hand has intensified the War against the Tuareg by contracting Mercenaries from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and the US as well. In order to subdue the Tuareg uprising in the Air Mountains.
The main reason why the Niger Government does not want peace nor give the Tuareg equal rights and a say in the Government of the South, is that the Tuareg territory in Niger is extremely rich in Uranium and Oil reserves. unlike the Tuareg territory in Mali that has no natural resources what so ever.
Niger's Houssa lead Government in the South is in deed committing Genocide and will not stop either until the last of the Tuaregs is dead or enslaved. Especially since Niamey the Capital of Niger where the Government resides wants full control of the Uranium resources in the north of the Country!
The Tuaregs are demanding Schools, Health care Equal rights and want to have a say in what is to be done with their land and their future, something we in the West would conceder as normal and nothing more than basic rights and Justice has it is the case in Western Countries. 
However not in Niger, Justice, Human rights do not seem to matter what so ever even less minority rights that for us in the Industrial World are a given are for the Tuareg nothing more than a dream!
The Tuareg face extinction in Niger and the World is letting it happening! After all we will end up getting the Uranium and Oil from Niger much easier and cheeper without the Tuaregs being around, especially since those oppose the Mining of the Uranium since it is poisoning their land and killing them as well, mainly due to the Uranium being miss handled and causing cancer and death in the Tuaregs population as well as their Life stocks!
Wen will we wake up and raise our voices to our respective governments and the UNO? Demanding that the genocide of the Tuaregs in Niger will stop! Will we get up from our chairs and come to their rescue before it may be to late?
Or will we stay silent and let the Tuareg suffer and die for our very comfort may be to much of a sacrifice to save a Human Life?
