A Tuareg woman with a painted face attends the 'Cure Salee' festival in Ingal, Niger, Sept. 17, 2011. Tuareg, Niger's nomads, have held the three-day-long event for centuries to mark the end of the rains, exchanging news and information amid music and dance as they prepare their animals over several weeks for the dry season.
