Il faut pourtant se rendre à l’évidence : le Sahara contemporain est d’abord urbain, constellé de villes où se concentre la majeure partie des populations. Une situation dont on connaît encore mal le processus d’urbanisation et la genèse.Comment expliquer en effet que l’une des régions les plus arides du Sahara, carrefour ancien entre le Sahel et le Maghre… Show more

The movement of migrants has contributed to the revival of old trading posts such as Tomboctou (Mali) and Agadès (Niger), and contributed to the growth of towns and cities elsewhere in the desert, including Gao (Mali), Dirkou (Niger), Sebha (Libya), and Tamanrasset, Illizi, and Djanet (Algeria) (Baxter, 2002;Bensaâd, 2002Bensaâd, , 2003Boubakri, 2000;Gantin, 2001;Ouzani, 2004;Pastore, 2004;Pliez, 2000…”
