What people principally inhabit the Sahara desert and also live in the Gao Region?
The Tuareg people
Gao Region
The Gao Region is located in northeastern Mali.
 The capital city is Gao.
 The region is bordered to the north by Kidal Region, to the west by Tombouctou Region, and to the east and most of the south by Niger, with a very small portion of the southern border shared with Burkina Faso.
 Common ethnicities in the Gao Region include the Songhai, Bozo, Tuareg, Bambara, and Kounta.
 The towns include Gao, Bourem, and Bamba.
Tuareg people
The Tuareg people ( ; also spelled Twareg or Touareg; endonym "Kel Tamasheq", "Kel Tagelmust") are a large Berber ethnic confederation.
 They principally inhabit the Sahara desert, in a vast area stretching from far southwestern Libya to southern Algeria, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
 Traditionally nomadic pastoralists, small groups of Tuareg are also found in northern Nigeria.
Tademaït
Tademaït is a natural region in the Sahara Desert right in the centre of Algeria.
 It is located north of In Salah and south of the Grand Erg Occidental in the Adrar District of Adrar Province, El Ménia District of Ghardaïa Province and the northern end of Tamanrasset Province.
 It is one of the places of the Sahara Desert where the summer heat is most extreme. Sahara Sea
The Sahara Sea was the name of a hypothetical macro-engineering project which proposed flooding endorheic basins in the Sahara Desert with waters from the Atlantic Ocean or Mediterranean Sea.
 The goal of this unrealized project was to create an inland sea that would cover the substantial areas of the Sahara Desert which lie below sea level, bringing humid air, rain and agriculture deep into the desert. Kiffian culture
The Kiffian culture is a prehistoric industry, or domain, that existed between 10,000 and 8,000 years ago in the Sahara Desert, during the Neolithic Subpluvial.
 Human remains from this culture were found in 2000 at a site known as Gobero, located in Niger in the Ténéré Desert.
 The site is known as the largest and earliest grave of Stone Age people in the Sahara desert. Sahara Desert ant
The Sahara Desert ant ("Cataglyphis bicolor") is a desert-dwelling ant of the genus "Cataglyphis".
 It inhabits the Sahara Desert and is one of the most heat tolerant animals known to date.
 However, there are at least four other species of "Cataglyphis" living in the Sahara desert, for example "C. bombycina", "C. savignyi", "C. mauritanicus" and "C. fortis". Tuareg rebellion (1962–1964)
The Tuareg rebellion of 1962–1964, sometimes called the First Tuareg Rebellion or the Alfellaga, was a short lived insurgency by populations of what is now northern Mali begun shortly after the nation achieved independence from France in 1960.
 Many in the sparsely populated and ethnically distinct north of Mali along with some in southern Algeria and northern Niger expected an independent Tuareg, Berber, and Arab nation to be formed by the Sahara desert regions when French Colonialism ended.
 This combined with dissatisfaction over the new government led some Tuareg in Northern Mali to rebel in 1963.
 This rebellion was short-lived as the military response of the new Malian government was swift and harsh.
 No more than 1,500 anti-government fighters were ever active following the larger rising on 1963 but the response of the Malian Armed Forces, occupying much of what is now Kidal region, Gao Region, and Tomboctou Region resulted in a refugee crisis, as thousands fled to what is now Algeria (the southern reaches of which were still under French control).
 The military occupation, deaths, torture and imprisonment of suspected rebels has left deep resentment in much of the northern population.
 The area has seen three successive major rebellions in the decades since, and remains a source of conflict. Adjule
The Adjule, also known as Kelb-el-khela, is a canine cryptid, claimed to inhabit the North African region, especially the areas in and around Sahara Desert in Mauritania.
 Reported primarily by the nomadic Tuaregs, and Théodore Monod in 1928, the adjule is said to be a totally unknown canine which takes the form of a dog or wolf, but today is described as isolated population of African wild dog.
 Some alternative names are "kelb el khela" ("bush dog") for the male and "tarhsît" for the female.
 However, despite a continuing firm belief in its existence due to urban myths, this cryptid has since been debunked and its sightings attributed to wild canines mistaken for the adjule, such as the African wild dog which is now extinct in certain areas of the Sahara.
 There is one unconfirmed sighting of a canid-like animal from the coastal area of Mauritania in 1992; hunters living in the coastal areas of the Western Sahara, to the north of Mauritania, described an animal resembling a wild dog, which hunted in packs.
 However, this was not confirmed for "Lycaon pictus" species (IUCN/CSG, 1997). Murzuq Desert
The Murzuq Desert, Idehan Murzuq, Idhan Murzuq, (also Murzaq, Murzuk, Marzuq and Murzak), is an erg in southwestern Libya with a surface of approximately 58,000 km.
 It is named after the town of Murzuk in the Fezzan.
 Like the Idehan Ubari further north, the Idehan Murzuq is part of the greater Sahara Desert region.
 It is separated from the southern Sahara Desert by the Tibesti Mountains and the Tassili n'Ajjer. Gao Cercle
Gao Cercle is an administrative subdivision of the Gao Region of north-eastern Mali.
 The administrative center ("chef-lieu") is the town of Gao.
