Plese give us the date this mixture took place, given the fact they migrated to the Niger Valley. .

Inter-mixtures with all of these people is possible Their descendants are thought to be berber speaking Tuareg whose territory includes Niger, Libya and other locations in North Africa and the Sahel. No surprise the Tuareg territory overlaps Garama and also extends to Niger [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Tuareg_area.png[/IMG] [b]Tuareg territory[/b] [/qb][/QUOTE]You use the terms "possible" and "thought" this is conjecture. This map represents the Tuareg region. The Tuareg did not come from the Fezzan, they originated in the East. According to Tuareg tradition they originated in the Tafilalt or Tafilet (Arabic: تافيلالت‎) a important oasis of the Moroccan Sahara, and migrated from there to the Fezzan. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
