On the acryl collage a Tubu woman in the foreground with green patterned cape represented in a stony desert, which is replaceed from fissured mountains in far distance with its pinnacles and burrs in the foreland of the Tibesti mountains in Chad in Central Sahara . The remaining 3000 Tubu (also mentioned "the brothers of the wind") live in this human being-hostile rock bastion - the Tibesti mountains - of the two-and-one-half times size of Switzerland. The Tubu (also Tubu, Toubou or Tibbu) is a subpopulation in the central Sahara. They are divided into the sub-groups of the Teda and Daza. The Tubu ("humans of the mountains rock human being") settled in former times large parts of the central Sahara in the today's States of Chad, the Sudan, Libya and the Niger. However they were increasingly back-pushed toward the Arabisierung of North Africa as well as the expansion of the Tuareg. Today most Tubu in the north and in the Republic of the Niger lives Chad. Center of the settlement area is the Tibestigebirge. The Tubu is nomadisierende cattle breeders, who hold above all goats and sheep. Only in the flat country also camel breed is operated. In former times the Tubu was also often caravan leaders on the Bornustreet between the Chad lake and Tripoli (see: Transit Sahara commerce). Contrary to the Tuareg neighbouring in the west the Tubu possesses a egalitarian company form. In the conflict between Libya and Chad around the Aouzou strip (1973-1994) the Tubu supported the Libyian against the centre government in N'Djamena. In the east of the Republic of the Niger they united into the 1990er years to the opposition party front démocratique pour le renouveau (FDR), in order to resist with armed resistance against the economic and political disadvantage by the military regime.
