Niger Tuareg people ride camels during Festival

In this photo taken Saturday Feb. 17, 2018, Tuareg men ride on camels during a festival in Iferouane, Niger. Tuaregs in northern Niger are hoping to draw tourists back to the region by putting their traditional dances, music poetry and camel races on display. Despite concerns about Islamic extremism throughout the Sahel region in West Africa, organizers recently hosted more than 1,000 visitors in Iferouane, a village in Niger's far north. [Photo: AP]
