Tuareg nomads end the Ramadan fast with prayer and dancing in Timbuktu, Mali. The Tuaregs are a subset of the Berbers, an Indigenous ethnic group in North Africa, and have resided across the Sahara desert in Niger, Mali, Libya, Algeria, and Burkina Faso. They primarily practice Islam and, as National Geographic reported in a 2011 feature, the ethnic group is distinguished primarily by its common language, Tamashek, which is related to Berber tongues spoken in Algeria and Morocco.
