Tuareg Camel Spearmen
The camel fares better in the desert than the horse. The spear doesn't judge.The Tuareg were a Berber people who lived a more nomadic lifestyle than their Amazigh and Shawia kinsmen, mainly inhabiting the more Saharan areas of north Africa. Their nomadic nature meant that there were many Tuareg clans that very rarely interacted. When they did, it was not uncommon to hold camel races, which implying proficient camel control - something that could easily be applied to war. The most famous Tuareg is Tin Hanan, which means 'she of the tents' but can be inferred to be 'mother of the tribe'. She was buried in a monumental tomb in the Sahara desert.
