This photo reportage focuses on the Tubu Teda and the Tibesti. The aim is to give contemporary impressions of a region of the Central Sahara and its inhabitants. The Central Sahara and people who inhabit it receive little attention nowadays, although its desert environments and the lives of their inhabitants could serve as examples of great interest in the context of climate change. The author of the reportage has been researching in the Central Sahara since 2014 and was a fellow of the Gerda Henkel Foundation from 2018 to 2020. His research project focused on the customary law of the Teda. Right at the beginning of this reportage, its author would like to thank the inhabitants of the visited regions and all Chadians and Nigerians for their great hospitality!

We are taken on a trip into a land so far away and inaccessible that we have never seen its beauty before.
We can hardly imagine how life in the Tibesti is organized by the people living there.
It is a fantastic journey in which we participate, due to the research trips of the author.
My thanks go to the Lisa Gerda Henkel Stiftung for making this report possible and to the author for sharing his pictures and insights with us.
