3,000 year-old Tuareg tradition in Algeria: Sebeiba Festival | Al Jazeera World Documentary

Sebeiba is an annual Tuareg cultural event held in the oasis of Djanet, in the extreme south of Algeria.

This colourful festival dates back thousands of years and since 2014 has been a UNESCO 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity' event.

Sebeiba's rituals and ceremonies offer a fascinating insight into the cultural heritage of the Tuareg people, a community found across the Sahara that makes up a tiny part of Algeria's population.

At the heart of the 10-day festival is a hard-fought music and dance competition between two rival villages, Azellouaz and El Mihan. There can only ever one winner of Sebeiba – at least until next year.

Reminds me of a similar festival in the Aïr known as the Bianou festival. No matter what country Tuareg have such beautiful traditions, I am proud to be descended from them along with the Fulani, and Songhaï/Djerma. Africa must unite 🖤🇲🇱🇲🇷🇱🇾🇩🇿🇳🇪🇳🇬🌹🌹🌹

35:01 I watch this and think it’s hilarious to imagine white Jews building the pyramids or living nomadic life in the desert 🏜️ like these Africans or Arabs. It’s such a massive lie that they were ever in these areas.

They celebrate the death of the Pharaoh because the Kemetic kings guarded the Western oasis for ions against the different tribes of the Tehenu and Lubim etc.
