This is a long article but gives a insight into a problem of a people which would seem to be a pretty easy save but is far from it... A people caught between a rock and a hard place..Israeli on one side...Palestinian on the other and most of us here are unaware... Our government gives over three Billion in aid to Israel yearly.....many millions of $ to the Palastinians on the West Bank... as a spokesman for the Bedouin says...they are not Doctors, Engineers or Lawyers...they herd animals....Problem is herding animals not needed here... ---------------------------------------- " Why can't we just be a neighborhood of Kfar Adumim?' Unwanted by Israel and the PA, Bedouin have nowhere to go but ‘up in the air’ The Jahalin clan's central West Bank village is about to be demolished by security forces, and its residents are caught in the power struggle between Jerusalem and Ramallah By Jacob Magid 9 March 2018, 6:41 am KHAN AL-AHMAR, West Bank — Over the past decade, Eid Abu Khamis has trotted the globe in an effort to gain international support for his battle against the looming demolition of his Bedouin community northeast of Jerusalem. “I’ve seen the entire world, but at the end of the day, all my heart wants is to return to the desert,” said the Jahalin tribe leader in the herding village of Khan al-Ahmar. But in the power struggle between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank, even a small tract of wasteland can become prime real estate, and the interests of Khamis’s clan aren’t much of a priority for the people deciding their fate." =========================================== ' www.timesofisrael.com/unwanted-by-israel-and-the-pa-bedouin-have-nowhere-to-go-but-up-in-the-air/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=81479a5ab1-EMAIL_WEEKEND_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_11&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-81479a5ab1-55898693

I thought they lived in Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Nigeria, Jordan and Niger.
I like their music, but not as much as the music of the Tuareg nomads.
