A sit-in was organized yesterday by hundreds of Touareg women and men in Tamanrasset in front of the prefecture of the region to denounce racism Arab authorities towards the Amazigh.
All day the demonstrators remained outside this structure to request the Arab Muslim regime to stop stir up the Arab minority against the Tuareg and especially to stop provocations. Tuareg homes and property were destroyed by the security services on the grounds of illegal buildings, without any court decision. “If the authorities are destroying shacks fortunes Touarergs, throwing women and children in the streets, why are the constructions of the Arabs not affected by this measure?
The law only applies to Imazighens people apparently. Racism from the arab autirities is atrocious. Workstations, markets and privileges are granted only to Arabs from elsewhere, while we are considered strangers in our own land”, said a young Tuareg who contacted us for report the contempt of the racist Algerian regime.
Our interlocutor said that it is since the popular uprising Tuareg against the exploitation of shale gas and our support to the people of Azawad that the Arab authorities stepped up their pressure on the Touareg by provoking continuously.
