Tens of thousands of Tuaregs pastoralists living in the Nigerien city of Agadez continue to support Muammar al Gaddafi, the deposed Libyan leader.

This northen city bordering Libya is where Saadi, the son of Gaddafi, and several former generals have escaped to.

It is believed that the Tuareg homeland remains a recruiting ground for Gaddafi fighters.
