Morrocan Tuareg Necklace
The Tuareg Peoples are a nomadic tribe (Niger, Mali, Algeria and Libya) of North Africa. As a whole, 99.9% of the population are Muslim. The Mystery of the Tuareg is that many of their symbols i.e. jewelry and symbols are Christian in nature. They however, seem oblivious, to that fact. Antropologists cannot identify the period in history that coincided with Christian assimilation into the Tuareg's.
Sometime ago, i was introduced to a Tuareg Leader. I would like to share his story. For his anonymity. I will refer to my friend as 'Mo'. Mo grew up as a nomadic Tuareg, a Muslim and was enlisted in Gaddafi's army. He rose through the ranks and was involved in the civil war between the various tribes. As a trained soldier, he witnessed the shedding of blood and even held a dying comrade in his arms.
A Sister in Yeshua. I'll call her 'Siti' for anonymity also had a vision to meet
a man in Niger. Siti felt the calling to go to Niger, to Abalak. Yeshua has a plan for the Tuareg Nation. He has not forgotten them even if they have forgotten him. Mo continues his mission to spread the name of Yeshua . It was Yeshua that approached him in the midst of the civil wars in North Africa. Yeshua has not forgotten the Tuaregs. The symbols they wear around their necks are a reminder that the Nation of Tuareg are his.
