F. Fuglestad — The Rebellions of the Twareg of Niger Colony, 1916-1917. Analysis of the causes and circumstances of these rebellions. French colonisation and its administrative methods were strongly grievous to Twareg interests and ways of life. Not only did the onset of W.W.I. resuit in the French losing the support of the sedentary, non-Twareg tribes, due to conscription and réquisition, but it also facilitated the spread of Senusiya propaganda wich was succesful among the Twareg for political rather than religious reasons. The western rébellion was crushed to a large extent due to the fact that the Twareg of amenokal Firhun were not supported by the sedentary tribes. In the North-East and in Aïr the situation was much more difficult for the French who were besieged more than 3 months on Agades. The pacification went on till 1931.
