Viewers have tried to comment, so I have opened up comments to the public again. (Due to repeated abusive language submitted by one person, I have restricted comments for a while.) The sporadic technical glitches persist. I see blank comments coming in frequently. Blogger needs to fix this, one of these days. Please email me if your comment does not appear.

Iferouâne

Iferouâne Idiiyat-es-Sahel is the birth name of my taidit. In Tamasheq it means wings.

She is named after Iferouâne, an oasis town in northern Niger, West Africa, about 1,000 km (620 miles) north of the Niger capital, Niamey. Just northwest of Arlit, capital of the Arlit Department in the Agadez Region, Iferouâne is located in the Ighazar Valley of the Sahelian belt, near the Tamgak Range. It is the gateway to the spectacular volcanic Aïr Massif mountains, which rises 2,000 meters from the desert floor.
