The Azwadians Have been Victims of Injustice and Persecution.


The Azwadians have been victims of injustice and persecution by Mali, and their demands for the creation of their state are based on the right to self-determination, a right guaranteed by international law.

In the video you can hear the Children is screaming "Azawad" .... here is a people who clearly fight for their land. May they get it, God willing.


Here is the history of Azawad written by Alyad Toumast:

 

The history of Azawad is that of a resilient people, determined to regain their freedom in the face of decades of injustice and marginalization. Since the proclamation of the independence of the Republic of Azawad in 2012, the separatists, now united under the banner of the CSP-DPA (Permanent Strategic Framework for the Sustainability of Peace and Autonomy), embody the continuity of a struggle that began well before African independence, in 1958, when Tuareg autonomist demands emerged to contest the borders inherited from French colonization.

 

A historic struggle: from 1958 to today.

 

1. The origins of the fight:

• From the first years of Mali's independence in 1960, the populations of Azawad expressed their rejection of a centralized state that ignored their culture, history and aspirations.

 

• The repression of the revolts of the 1960s, 1990s and 2006 only deepened the gap between Bamako and Azawad. Despite peace agreements signed under international pressure, successive Malian governments have always betrayed their commitments, exacerbating the frustrations of Sahelian communities.

 

2. The 2012 proclamation:

• In April 2012, after a lightning military advance, the MNLA (National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad) proclaimed the independence of Azawad. Although this independence was not recognized, it marked a turning point, affirming the desire for self-determination.

 

• Since then, the Azawad forces, under different structures, have resisted attempts at marginalization, while suffering the betrayal of the international community, which has often supported the Malian authorities against the legitimate aspirations of the Azawadian people.

 

3. The CSP-DPA: courageous leadership:

• The CSP-DPA, a coalition of Azawad independence and autonomist movements, represents today the continuation of this struggle. Faced with the hostility of the Malian putschist regimes, which broke the Algiers Accords and relaunched a brutal war against Azawad, the CSP-DPA fighters are holding their ground with exemplary bravery.

 

• These forces, despite diplomatic isolation and a flagrant military imbalance, continue to defend the civilian populations and repel the attacks orchestrated by the Malian army and its mercenary allies.

 

The Bravery and Resilience of Azawad.

 

The Azawad fighters are distinguished by their unwavering commitment and courage in the face of adversity:

 

• They have been able to maintain effective control over a large part of the Azawad territory, despite the offensive by Malian forces supported by drones and mercenaries.

 

• Unlike the Malian putschists, who are entrenched in the capitals and leaving civilians to their fate, the CSP-DPA separatists remain close to the populations, defending their rights and aspirations.

 

The Azawad forces refuse to give in to terror and blackmail, embodying a model of struggle for dignity and autonomy in a region marked by conflict and injustice.

 

Azawad’s independence: an inescapable reality.

 

Despite the maneuvers of Malian putschists, supported by foreign powers seeking to protect their economic or strategic interests, Azawad’s independence remains a legitimate and achievable aspiration:

 

1. The right to self-determination:

• International law recognizes the right of peoples to self-determination. The populations of Azawad, mostly marginalized by Bamako, have a distinct identity that justifies their quest for independence.

 

2. Autonomous management:

• Unlike the chaos observed in other regions of Mali, the structures set up in certain areas of Azawad demonstrate an ability to manage the territory autonomously and inclusively.

 

3. Popular support:

• Azawad enjoys broad support from its populations, who see independence as the only way out of the cycle of marginalization, repression and underdevelopment.

 

Appeal to the International Community.

 

The silence or complicity of the international community in the face of the brutal repression of Azawad is a stain on the universal principles of justice and equity:

 

• In the same way that Palestine or Ukraine receive support for their rights, Azawad deserves recognition and fair mediation.

 

• It is imperative that major powers and international organizations stop providing military or diplomatic support to regimes that violate the rights of the Sahelian populations.

 

Conclusion.

 

The struggle for the independence of Azawad, courageously led by the CSP-DPA, is a source of inspiration for all oppressed peoples. It demonstrates that, even in the face of vastly superior forces, determination and unity can triumph. The independence of Azawad is not only a legitimate aspiration, but a future reality, carried by the bravery of a people standing since 1958.

One of the Survivors of the Drone Strike in Amasrakad Died Today in Tamanrasset.

Manina Wallet, 20 years old, tragically succumbed to her injuries on the evening of November 16, 2024 in #Tamanrasset, Algeria. She was among those injured in the drone strike by the Malian junta army in Amasrakad (Azawad) on March 17, 2024. 

This attack caused much suffering and left indelible scars on the community.

We would like to express our deepest condolences to her family and the people of Azawad in this time of mourning. The loss of Manina is a tragedy that deeply affects all those who were fortunate enough to know her and enjoy her presence.

In these difficult times, our thoughts and prayers are with you, and I hope that you find the strength to overcome this ordeal. May her soul rest in peace and her memory live forever in our hearts, reminding each of us of the importance of life and solidarity.

 

Toumast Info 16-11-24

 

Eight months she was severely injured, and tonight she tragically passed away in Tamanrasset by her injuries. Her child died in the drone attack. She was only 20 years old...This is what the Malian drone strikes do....drones sold by Turkey. 

May God have mercy on her and forgive her. We pray that vengeance will be taken on all those who were involved in the blood of those who did no harm to anyone.

Six Shepherds Executed by Wagner on the Border with Mauritania.

Six shepherds were found near Nara, on November 5, on the border with Mauritania. They were executed by Wagner. Their hands were tied behind their backs and their bodies were burnt and charred and some were decapitated. (which is a common practice among the Wagner mercenaries and the Malian military junta)

 

Wagner are now merged with the so-called "Africa Corps". Different names, same evil.

 

According to sources contacted by RFI, the six men executed and burned were unarmed and were only travelling with their oxen. So they were apparently civilians. RFI has not received any response from the Malian army. We are not surprised.

Pressure on Azawadian People to not Wave their Flag.


The Mauritanian government has threatened any Malian and Azawadian refugee who violates the country's laws with having their refugee status revoked and being expelled to their country of origin.


The violation includes raising the Azawad flag (of the Azawad revolutionaries) in the IDP camps.

 

The ban on raising the Azawad flag is said to be due to the clashes between the two groups of refugees, those who support the Malian government and those who support the Azawad revolutionaries in the struggle for freedom and independence.

 

It seems that there is no pressure on the Malian side not to raise its flag.

In Mberra in Mauritania, Surviving the Malian Hell.

"This is beyond anything we have experienced so far"

We return to Mberra to meet other witnesses. Nothing and no one escapes this mechanism, not even animals, which are decapitated as if they too were "guilty" of belonging to the Peuls or the Tuaregs"

 

Report by Alissa Descotes-Toyosaki for Africa XXI with testimonies from Tuareg and Fulani refugees and survivors of the atrocities of the Malian army and Wagner.

For more than ten years, the Mberra camp and surrounding villages have hosted tens of thousands of refugees who have fled the war in Mali. Testimonies of violence committed by jihadist groups, the Malian army and, more recently, Wagner's fighters are multiplying and preventing any attempt to return.

The UK has Imposed Sanctions on Wagner.

The UK has imposed sanctions on #Wagner for human rights violations against civilians in #Azawad and other African countries. The sanctions target Wagner's operations, accusing the group of contributing to instability and exploiting local resources for Moscow’s interests. This move reflects a broader effort to counter Russian influence across Africa.

Three private mercenary groups are sanctioned including the Wagner Group’s successor called Africa Corps and 11 persons that are associated with Russian proxies.

It involves dozens of new sanctions against Russia, targeting African mercenary groups and people involved in the Ukraine war as well as a nerve agent attack in the UK.

Amnesty International Calls for Urgent Investigation into Civilian Deaths in Drone Strikes in Azawad.

After several reports about drone strikes targeting and injuring and killing civilians in Azawad, (Northern Mali)the Amnesty International calls for the need of an urgent independent and comprehensive investigation. 

 

According to reports, Amnesty International believes that attacks targeting and harming civilians require immediate accountability and greater transparency by he authorities in Mali in order to protect human rghts and make sure these tragedies will not happen again. Which - we know - will never happen … since the authorities are the ones accountable and since the authorities of mali are performing this genocide against the Azawadian population with the help of Wagner. When shall Amnesty International recognize this fact?

Article from New York Times, How Wagner's Ruthless Image Crumbled in Mali.

The New York Times recently published an interesting article about the battle of Tinzawaten and that the loss is the largest and deadliest loss ever for Wagner in Africa.

You can read the article here.

 

Two of the comments on this article: 

"This article does a great job, though it could more explicitly clarify that the Tuaregs have no affiliation with Al-Qaida and are, in fact, frequently at odds with the group. Tuaregs have been direct victims of Al-Qaida's violence, with ongoing conflicts that highlight their adversarial relationship. Al-Qaida has repeatedly attacked secular Tuareg leaders, including Bilal Ag Acherif, in efforts to weaken the Tuareg influence."

 

"Significant battles have occurred between the Tuaregs and Al-Qaida in places like Gao (2012), Timbuktu (2012), Kidal (2015), and even as recently as early 2024.

 

In the Sahel, it's widely understood that Algeria, which has strategic interests in traditional Tuareg lands (and control over a piece of their land), has manipulated this situation by supporting Al-Qaida to discredit the Tuareg cause. This tactic portrays Tuaregs as hostile to the West, despite their history of tolerance and deep-rooted matriarchal culture. 

 

The truth is clear: Tuaregs have nothing to do with Al-Qaida and, in fact, stand opposed to it, rejecting both its ideology and its presence."

They Target Everything That Moves... and Everything That Don't Move...

Drone strike targeting an abandoned civilian car in the Achibego region of Kidal State on November 5 by the cowardly Malian army with the help of #Wagner mercenaries.

Surely they wished there had been some civilians in that car.

The Violence Continues in Azawad.

"Justice for Annajmou ag Mohamed: A cry of despair in the face of impunity in Azawad."

 

Yesterday, November 3, a young man named "Annajmou ag Mohamed", from the Kel Assouk (Tuareg) community, was arrested and subjected to acts of torture without justification at the Intahaka locality in the Gao region, by the army of the Malian junta in collaboration with the Russian criminal Wagner group. According to information provided by the local journalist @ToumastInfo he was tragically killed today.

 

Furthermore, two people, whose names are: Med Youssef Ag Alla and Mohamed ag intawalou, were cowardly executed in Idjardahanane, south of Lére, on November 2.

 

- Source collected by Toumast info.

The violence continues in a media silence and on the part of the international community.

 

These crimes are a shame for humanity.The international community remains silent in the face of everything that has happened and continues to happen. Since the creation of Mali, the peoples of Azawad have been deeply wounded by the repressive actions and violence perpetrated by the Malian government.

 

We encourage the International Criminal Court to investigate these crimes.

PUBLISHED: 04/11/2024 IN KIDAL

 

Let`s ask this question; who are the real terrorists? the Toauregs who only wants to live on their ancestral land in freedom, or this junta with their criminal partner who bursts into villages on a daily basis, and randomly kills and kidnaps people, loote, poison, burn and destroy?


Scorched Earth Policy

Scorched Earth Policy - This is what the Malian military and their Wagner allies are doing in Azawad.

 

In a military conflict, this involves destroying or seriously damaging resources, means of production, infrastructure, buildings or the surrounding environment, in order to render them unusable by the adversary. It is also used as a tool of genocide.

 

Burning the plains and crops to force the Azawadis to flee (to neighboring countries and refugee camps) and leave their lands to usurpers. Video footage of the Igshar Seden Valley northeast of Kidal, Azawad. This is also done near the border with Mauritania. They know that when they burn the land forcing people to flee, they cannot return later because the majority depend on the land for their livelihood.

 

Mali has been using the tactic of poisoning wells and exterminating livestock and herders since the 1960s when this genocide of the Azawadian population began after colonial France unjustly ceded Azawad to its created state which it calls Mali. But there is no support from neighboring countries.

Some images from around social media, showing burning land. But they are also burning animals and people... because not everyone is able to escape the fire in time or maybe they are trapped. 


🚨ALERTE: Intensified destruction of pastoral resources in #Azawad

 

Reports indicate an upsurge in pasture fires in the #Gao region, severely affecting the vital resources of herders. This "scorched earth" modus operandi seems to be unfolding as convoys of the Malian junta's army and Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group pass by. Since the end of the rainy season, many localities have reported such incidents, threatening food security and further weakening local populations. The population fears that this is a trap orchestrated by #Wagner. No one dares intervene to put out the fires, for fear of being killed.

They Killed a 75 Year old Touareg Man on Friday Evening, Nov 1st-2024!


The Malian army and Wagner mercenaries arrived in the Ibdagan area of ​​Kidal and executed an elderly civilian Touareg named Moussa Ag Makhlouf. Further they also burnt civilian motorcycles and car as well as many looted properties.

 

There are also reports of more civilians that has been killed on october 31st as well as reports of several deliberate bushfires by Malian and Wagner soldiers in the Lére area to make the inhabitants flee.

 

📍 Eghachar- Sadisan on October 31, 24, 40 kilometers northwest of KIDAL.

 

This is nothing but pure terrorism! or what else can you call it? The genocide on Azawadian people continues while the world is silent. History will not forget and one day Azawad will be free.

 

May God have mercy on the souls of the victims and may they rest in peace.

MNA, the ancestor of the MNLA, was born in the Azawadian city of Timbuktu on november 1, 2010, 14 years ago. 

Today we pay tribute to the great men of dignity who fought for the freedom of the people of Azawad before us, and the great and brave men who fight today...and a special thougt to the martyrs and to all the people who today are refugees and/or displaced, living in the diaspora. As well as the resilient leaders. We will also never forget the battle of Tinzawaten. And we pray that one day every Azawadian shall be able to return to a free homeland, THEIR homeland, Azawad. 

 

This is a symbolic day, historically and revolunionary. They can kill the revolunionaries but they can never kill the revolution. 

Those who are involved in this struggle in one way or another, the struggle continues ✌️

The Refugees of Tinzawaten 

Tinzawaten refugees (Algerian and Azawadian)

In this thread that I published on my account (X) you will find some elements on one of the most marginalized humanitarian situations in the Sahara.

 

Inkinane Ag Attaher, commander of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), a Tuareg separatist movement.


In March 2022, the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara issued a FATWA that made the property and blood of the Tuareg-Doushak populations lawful on the border between Niger and Menaka, the terrorist organization engaged in mass massacre and looting. EIGS took advantage of the ethnic conflict over pastoral resources to administer violence. More than 800 civilians were killed during 2022, and thousands fled to Algeria, Niger and Libya.

 

Civilians who were unable to go inside Algeria or elsewhere settled in Tinzawaten (Azawad) or in other urban centers such as Menaka, Gao and KIDAL. Several NGOs, including the ICRC and MINUSMA initially, provided a limited humanitarian response, as did the Algerian authorities and residents. The 2022 massacre took place in the presence of UN 🇺🇳 and European military forces on the territory. These forces have not changed their methods and continue their routine operations without paying particular attention to the massacre that was taking place in Menaka and Gao.


The military responses, whether from Malian or international soldiers, are non-existent in the face of this terrorist organization. In addition to driving local populations out of their territories, EIGS occupies and administers the land through the communities allied to it. In 2023, after the forced departure of European troops and UN military forces, the ruling junta in Bamako, supported by the Wagner militia and Turkish drones, launched a war against the AZAWAD movements in August 2023. The Malian military, supported by Russian Wagner mercenaries, is engaging in methods of massacre as radical as those used by EIGS. In addition to the waves of refugees caused by the EIGS massacres, there are now those of the new war in Mali.

 

The methods used by the Malian army and its Wagner mercenaries are the bombing of towns and villages by attack planes recently delivered by the Russians. After that they return to the villages where they execute and decapitate the men, burn, poison the wells, loot everything that is there and trap the bodies and the houses.

 

These methods terrorize the civilians (Tuaregs, Arabs ...) and push them to exodus. Then large-scale attacks with the support of Turkish drones led by Wagner mercenaries and the Malian military on the positions of the Permanent Strategic Framework CSP which brings together several armed formations of AZAWAD. The regional capitals have fallen and the Tuareg and Arab civilians are exiled by the thousands in Mauritania and Algeria. The ruling junta prohibits NGOs from assisting the displaced in areas that are not under its control.

Refugees in Mauritania benefit from a minimum in the Mbera camp; those who managed to enter Algeria do not benefit from refugee status and are forced to fend for themselves. Those settled on the edge of the border benefit from the minimum of humanitarian aid. In July, Mali sent a Wagner unit to settle in Tinzawaten. Panicked civilians abandoned their tents and tried to enter Algeria. Algerian soldiers were deployed; some civilians managed to enter, others later.

 

Mali, as part of the new AES alliance, bombed the gold mining site in Inatiyara with drones. Several dozen sub-Saharan, Chadian and Sudanese workers have been killed and injured. This created panic and these workers too were forced to flee the horrible exactions of Wagner and Fama. The displaced people from Menaka and then Tinzawaten settled in extreme conditions on a hill on the outskirts of the Algerian city of Tinzawaten. They suffer from several diseases including malaria and diphtheria.

 

Algeria, although it turns a blind eye to the settlement of these refugees, does not provide them with the necessary assistance. They are installed on stones under makeshift shelters and do not have access to drinking water or school for their children.

 

After the defeat of Wagner and the Malian army against the Azawad forces on July 27, 2024 in Tinzawaten, some civilians and traders decided to return to the Azawadian city of Tinzawaten. Following their defeat, Mali decided to target these civilians by drone a few meters from the border line with Algeria, this strike caused the death of several children and the destruction of the only pharmacy that the city has. These punitive drone strikes push civilians to flee to Algeria and the Inatiyara site empties of its workers who lose hope of peace.

 

On October 20, 2024, the displaced people located on the outskirts to the east of the Algerian city of Tinzawaten receive the ultimatum to vacate the place. The reasons put forward by the Algerian local authorities are security reasons. The refugees, having no other choice, take what they can of their belongings and return to Inaghalwas.

 

In October 2022 Algeria begins the construction of an isolation wall to separate the two Tinzawaten.

A child injured by the drone attack in Tinzawaten. Right: The construction of the "wall of racism" between the Algerian and Azawadian parts of Tinzawaten.


The International Organization of Imouhagh writes to UN Secretary-General Guterres and denounces the United Nations' support for the putschists and the Russian Wagner Organization at the expense of the Azawadi people who are facing genocide.


The International Organization for Justice and Transparency, Imouhagh, warned in a letter addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, that the United Nations grant of $ 10 million, which it provided in support of the Malian government, would be considered indirect support for the “Wagner mercenaries”, which are internationally and by the British government classified as a terrorist organization.

 

The organization held the United Nations responsible for the consequences of this dangerous decision and demanded that “its Secretary-General take urgent action to freeze these funds, given the danger they pose to the security and lives of the defenseless population.”

Azawad; The Tormented of the Desert.

Azawad; The Tormented of the Desert is a book in PDF format written by Touaregs in Tinzawaten, it`s a non-professional but heartfelt and totally honest writing, witnessing and describing the pain the people feel and the atrocities they have to endure in this genocide of a people, the people of Azawad. 

 

This book is a painful read, every story cuts you through the bone. It´s a very real collection of testimonies of the suffering they have to endure. It´s the naked pain described straight from the souls of a very tried and long-suffering people. It´s beautiful but heartbreaking. 

 

Beautiful, because of the beautiful pure souls who wrote it. Heartbreaking, because it describes the oppression with such clarity from a very emotional point of view, not like some news articles who are required to be more "neutral" in tone. (And which quite often puts outward professionalism in the style of writing before honesty and accurancy)

 

We wish more people to get to know who the Touaregs are, or rather, the Kel Tamacheq (the people who speak tamacheq) and what they are going through since 64 years. Being displaced from your homeland is like living in limbo... 

 

The book describes painful events but also longings for the homeland, or living in limbo, there`s also both poetry and metaphors. Everything is mixed together by the various authors of powerful pens.

If we would pick something to wish for with this book… is if it could be written also in both english and french so that more people could read it. The original language and scripture is arabic, due to that many of the Kel Tamacheq are displaced in arabic speaking countries. The automatic translations from arabic to french and English leaves a lot to desire, it`s often quite unaccurate where meanings loses their true essence and meaning or becomes downright wrong or out of context. But efforts to translate this book is underway.

 

The book cover displays a picture of a father carrying his injured child, from when the Malian army and Wagner together with the AES sent drones to bomb civilian children in Tinzawaten as a revenge act to their loss on july 27 in the battle of Tinzawaten. That`s when they went there to "take" the village on the Azawadian side of Tinzawaten which is divided between the Azawad side and the Algerian side. 

 

They went to "take the city" and most likely they would have murderered the population who are mosty refugees from Azawad who have fled the exactions of Famas and Wagner and also the terrorist groups operating i the area. Therefore the revolutionnry army of Azawad who fight for a free and independent Azawad, went out to defend them and did cause such a beating of the Wagner mercenairies as being probaby the worst they have ever experienced in Africa so far. Of all those Wagners and Famas who left Bamako for Tinzawaten, not one returned. A few Wagners were taken as war prisoners and are according to all reports treated as such, according to international war prisoner laws.

 

Many of the Famas, if not even most, fled the battle, some even before it started... according to several reports, and left the Wagners to face the Azawad army alone and they, contrary to the Famas, fought to their last man, or their last three. The Wagner was later on seen complaning a lot about this on their Telegram pages where they called the Famas "unprofessional" and "cowardly". The fleeing Famas ended up lost in the desert where they also died. The Azawad desert does not accommodate invaders.

 

The book over became "the photo of the year" and went around everywhere in the national and international press and in the social medias. It´s a very powerful picture of a horrific and very sad reality, affecting innocent people like small children. That picture is a picture that really says a thousand words if we gonna use a cliche´.

Drone Strike against Civilians in Inadjatafan, Timbouctou, Azawad

On october 21, a drone strike with a Turkish TB2 drone shot down four missiles in the middle of the Inadjatafan market, a bombing of civilians by a drone belonging to the Malian terrorist army and Russian mercenaries Wagner, caused several civilian casualties, including infants. These images speak for themselves !!

 

As these violations continue, pressure is increasing on the international community and human rights organizations to intervene and impose solutions that protect the population and end the repeated violations. 

 

This is what Mali and the Wagner terrorist militias are doing against those they claim are their citizens.

Text on the photo, written by a young Touareg: Yes, so wrong, we got used to it. But it's over, the cup is full.

Down below, they are screaming, can you hear their voices? The voices of these families, full of sadness.


Algeria expels tens of thousands of refugees from Azawad who settled along the border line from Tinzawaten to Tijah, in the Iharbayen region of Azawad, where the Malian government cowardly killing them with drones at each period. These thousands of families, in majority, fled both the terrorist attacks in the Menaka region and those of Mali and Wagner.

 

These thousands of people, without means of survival, went down on foot this morning to Tinzawaten, on the Azawad side. This follows the ultimatum given by the Algerian authorities yesterday. The Algerian local authorities threaten to burn everything they find there. These are those who have no pity in their hearts.

 

At the same time, Algeria is also in the process of building a wall of racism between Algeria and Azawad. (Algerian Tinzawaten from Azawad Tinzawaten)

Where will these people, these refugees, go?  On the right 👉 the wall of racism.


Walls

Soon we will see the borders between Azawad and Algeria like the borders between America and Mexico. Algeria always tries to pressure Azawad by all means.

Azawad is a Just Cause


It is a fight of resistance, it is a war of defense against the occupiers and invaders of the ancestral land of the Azawadian people, which existed long before France created Mali and unjustly ceded Azawad to Mali instead of returning it to its original inhabitants. It is their land, and the rocks with tifinagh bear witness to this.

 

The separatists are fighting for freedom and justice. But a war is not fought with weapons alone. Some have switched the weapons for guitars, like Tinariwen, while the weapon of others is the pen. Or culture. Or their voice.

Let Azawad be free and peace will come.

We just want to live in peace on our territories like all other peoples. France is responsible for every Tuareg, Moorish, Fulani or Songoi child killed today in Azawad by soldiers of the illegitimate junta of Mali or by Russian mercenaries of Wagner that the same junta pays millions to massacre our populations.

 

France is responsible for all the misfortunes that have happened to us. It annexed our lands and those of our ancestors to its former colony of French Sudan. This is the origin of everything that happened after. Several massacres by the criminal Army of Mali, from 1963 to the present day, then by terrorists allied to the Malian regimes since 2002.

The Health Crisis is Worsening in the Azawadian Refugee Camps

From Cases to Disperse in Wars. Refugees in Search of Security and not in Search of Something Else.

 

The 8th day of October from M´Berra Health Center in the refugee camp in Mauritania, a simple glimpse of the condition of patients who were left to their sad fate without any medical help...

While I tell you that there is a refugee camp, M´Berra, there are refugees in Tenzawatin and Timiawen distracted, far from their lands and their people without anything, they left their homes and escaped from the cannibals of the financial army (the Malian junta) and the Wagner mercenaries.

 

Achinkad 09-10-24


Azawad Solidarity has the Fundraiser Going on until the 15th of October!

 

The money will go to buy medecines for the victims in the refugee camps for Azawadian people who at the time of writing, dies every single day because of the epidemics, which - of course - the malian putschist governement has no interest in helping, rather the contrary.

 

If anyone (United Nations and others) gives any aid funds to the Malian governement it will most likely be spent to pay the Wagner mercenairies to kill the Azawadian people. In other words, to fund the genocide.

 

Therefore, Touareg humanitarian organizations like the Azawad Solidarity is your best bet when it comes to help these people! They have the required local knowledge and contacts to make sure the medecines gets to those who so desperately need it to survive.

M'Berra Health Center:

 

A glimpse of the situation of the sick abandoned to their sad fate, without any medical assistance. Although the sick are all on the ground and without care, there is still hope for a possible solution, even if it seems non-existent.

 

For several months, many Azawadian refugees in M'Berra have been suffering from serious illnesses, and some, especially children and women, have died of hunger in the camp. We affirm our solidarity with the refugees from Azawad in Mauritania, Algeria and Niger, who are bearing the brunt of these epidemics in these difficult times.

#Azawad ¦ 10/10/2024

🔴 The CSP-DPA strongly denies the lies of the Malian junta and the #Wagner group on the recovery of the mercenaries' remains and on the death of the Russian hostages captured by the CSP-DPA. Investigations show serious crimes committed by this evil convoy on its route.

 

@apmazawad

#CSPDPA


When it comes to wether the remains of the fallen Wagner fighters were collected (according to Fama/Wagner) or transported away to a safe place and buried (according to the CSP_DPA) The CSP_DPA has nothing to gain by hiding the truth, rather the contrary.

Here is a  voice on twitter:

According to the well-known and well-equipped propaganda methods used by the FAMA and the Wagner group, there is no doubt about the credibility of the rebels; they gain nothing by hiding the truth, unlike the other two…


The Convoi of Evil and the Evaporated Drone

The evaporated drone...  is just the latest part of the story of the miserable convoy.... Where did this drone go? nobody knows for sure, it evaporated. Like a shadow.

After the return with nothing, from the "route of revenge" on Tinzawatene, the convoy of evil made uninterrupted rotations around Kidal making many wonder what they were now doing. But they were actually trying to find one of their Turkish Beyraktar TB2 drones (used to kill Azawad civilians) gone missing.

Rumours has it that the #CSP-DPA has a system capable of diverting drones. Is that what happened? Who knows?

To be continued...

 

17-10-24


But on the 10th Day of this Long Story of the Convoy of Evil...the Convoy Turned Around and Headed back Towards Kidal...

While Wagner posts on their Telegram pages a statement to their followers which includes of course, the families, relatives and friends of the fallen soldiers, and they wrote that they "successfully collected all their fallen comrades bodies.... 

 

It`s just that the CSP-DPA army did move the dead bodies to place far away right after the combat (july 27th) for a safe and decent burial. Which means that there is no way that Wagner could have found them as they wrote in their statement, so in other other words, it ´s a clear lie.

 

Maybe they simply went to look for the remains of their cannibal soldiers who fell in combat? Maybe the next battle will take place somewhere other than Tinza? But whatever their mission, they cannot take a step without being watched.

The Military Escalation in the Region is Clearly Visible.

The military escalation in the region is clearly visible and the convoi of evil (the Malian army and Wagner mercenaries) is meticulously followed and well monitored by the forces of the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of the People of Azawad (CSP_DPA) who are closely following their movements through satellites.

The Convoy of Evil is Still on its Way to Tinzawaten, Killing and Destroying on its Way.

"The Malian convoy and its mercenaries have been on their way to Tin Zotin for days, wandering between villages, killing people, destroying water tanks and wells. A few days ago, in Inkrot, they rigged a water generator, causing an explosion on three children who had arrived there after the army left. They also killed more than one person and took others with them."

 

Ayoub Chamad, 07-10-24

 

They really live up to the name "evil convoy" by destroying and killing everywhere they go. No matter who, "anything that moves" seems to be the thing, as the Nigeriens said after their drone attack yesterday against Nigerian and Chadian civilians. And for several days, they have been looking for the remains of the mercenaries who fell during the battle of Tinzawaten on July 27 which ended so badly for them. But in vain, they search in the desert without finding anything. We can only say "good luck"...

Drone Strike Kills Nigerien Passengers Near Tinzaouaten. 

The Malian junta & Wagner is lying saying they were "Terrorists"



On Friday, October 4, 2024, two vehicles carrying passengers from Nigeria were targeted and hit by drone strikes launched from Gao. The drone attack killed several people, including members of the Hausa community from Niger. This happened on the road between Tinzaouaten and Arlit, 40 km south of Tinzaouaten.

 

The citizens of the AES have nothing to do with terrorism and as usual they target innocent civilians by calling them "terrorists"! And not just Azawadians; these were Nigerian and Chadian citizens.

 

The Malian cannibal junta and Wagner seem to think that they can fool everyone and get away with their crimes, lies and propaganda. Their public statement that they (Fama) have "identified and neutralized a column of vehicles belonging to armed terrorist groups" (!!) is in total contrast to the testimonies of the surviving Nigerian victims (all civilians) and that can be seen on videos on X.

 

"First Niger" states that "Now they are hitting with drones everything that moves! Vehicles heading towards #Arlit in #Niger with seven (7) Nigerien and Chadian civilians on board were hit by a Turkish drone strike!"

 

Turkish drones used by Russian mercenaries Wagner and Malian forces have targeted and killed more than 300 civilians since July 2023. 99% of the victims of these strikes are civilians.

 

The real terrorists are the AES soldiers.

04-10-24


Press release No.: 16/BE/CSP-DPA/2024 On the night of October 4 to 5, two public transport vehicles, bound for Niger, were the target of drone strikes by the Bamako junta on the Tinzawatene-Arlit axis.

 

Of the 24 passengers on board, all Nigerien gold miners, formerly working in the Tinzawatene gold mining site, 7 deaths and 3 injuries were recorded, the two vehicles were completely destroyed. The CSP-DPA forces securing the area provided first aid and care to the injured.

 

The CSP-DPA unreservedly condemns these blind and cowardly strikes regularly perpetrated against civilians by the Bamako junta and its allies. The CSP-DPA presents its deepest condolences to the families of the victims bereaved by this terrorist horde and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.

 

It should be recalled that previously, the same convoy killed civilians, animals and destroyed a school in Inakarote. Furthermore, the CSP-DPA reminds ECOWAS, the African Union, neighboring countries and the entire international community that they must assume their role of protection and compassion towards the civilians of Azawad in the same way as all the populations of these areas.

 

In view of the lack of distinction in the choice of targets by the Bamako junta and its allies, the CSP-DPA invites civilians using the roads in the area and surroundings to reduce mobility and gatherings as much as possible until further notice.

 

The CSP-DPA calls on the international community and human rights organizations to record this terrorist act, like others previously committed against civilians by the Bamako junta and its allies, to answer for their crimes before neutral and independent rights bodies.

For the CSP-DPA Spokesperson Mohamed Elmaouloud RAMADANE


Two young Azawadians were killed today in Inakarot following the explosion of a trap hidden by Wagner mercenaries and Malian soldiers in the generator that powers the village's water tower.

The Fama and Wagner are still killing innocent civilians! May they rest in peace and may justice be done, God willing.

And this is what the U.N is funding!!

 

04-10-24


The International Organization for Justice and Transparency, Imouhagh, strongly criticizes and condemns the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund for financing the Malian Military Council to the tune of $10 million.

The organization speculates that the money will not reach the people concerned but will be used to finance Wagner.



Alert and Condemnation addressed to the UN Secretary-General: Financing of an Illegitimate Government in Mali Accused of Genocide Statement of alert and condemnation addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. António Guterres, concerning the granting by the UN of 10 million dollars to an illegitimate government in Mali implicated in serious violations of human rights. 

 

The organization Imouhagh Internationale pour la justice et la transparence was informed, by a press release from the United Nations office in New York, dated September 30, 2024, and widely relayed by the international media, of the decision to grant financial assistance of 10 million dollars to the Malian government (the putschists) in Bamako, through the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (PBF), under the heading of strengthening peace and social inclusion. 

 

While acknowledging the efforts of the United Nations to promote peace and stability in the world, the organization Imouhagh Internationale wishes to express its deep concerns about the potential use of these funds, due to the serious human rights violations perpetrated by the Malian army and the Russian mercenaries of Wagner. 

 

We call on the UN to condition the granting of this aid to guarantees of transparency and rigorous control to prevent these resources from contributing to fueling violence against civilians. The organization also wishes to recall that the Malian government officially withdrew, on January 24, 2024, from the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement negotiated by Algeria and the United Nations, in the presence of the international community. 

 

As a result, the organization shares its concerns and fears with the defenseless civilians of the Azawad region (northern Mali), as these funds risk not reaching the intended beneficiaries, but rather being used against the civilian populations who have been forced to leave their homes to escape the massacres of the Malian army and its allies, the Wagner mercenaries. 

 

These civilians are now mainly in refugee camps in Mauritania and Algeria, seeking to flee violence that amounts to genocide. The organization also warns against the use of these funds as indirect support for the Wagner mercenaries, classified as a terrorist organization by the international community, including by the British government. 

We therefore hold the United Nations responsible for the consequences of this potentially dangerous decision and call on its Secretary-General to take urgent action to freeze these funds, given the serious threats they pose to the safety and lives of civilians.

Damage Caused by Toxic Chemicals from Drones in Azawad

Across Azawad, where there is no clinic or even a first aid kit, more than 100 people die every day from diseases caused by poisoned wells and biological weapons used by FAMA and Wagner's mercenaries.

 

That people get sick and die from an unknown disease (on top of the known malaria and diphteria epidemic) we have seen, and the suspicions that the Malian putschist #cannibal junta Fama and their helpers Wagner, are using biological warfare against the innocent civilians in Azawad is not just imaginations. And to point out also that these suspicions are coming from different directions as well, both from within and from outside of Azawad. 

 

A new video emerged yesterday on social media showing how animals also are affected. The video showed how animals are now born deformed due to these chemicals used in the drones which affect the whole environment. These effects may also potenially spread to neighbouring countries causing environmental disasters.

 

Yes the consequences of the Malian army's #drone bombings are being felt even in animal life. In the pictures is a  deformed calf that was born because of the toxic #chemicals dropped, bearing witness to the devastating tragedy on populations and the environment.

 

And all this is happening because they want the Azawad land and its recources, and the people already living there is a "problem" they want to get rid of - by exterminating them and all life in Azawad. They have tried since 1960... and not been able to kill them off, so now they try with chemicals.

 

Chemical Weapon Definition

 

Toxic chemicals are defined as "any chemical that can cause death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to humans or animals" regardless of their origin or of their method of production. Chemicals that are used for the production of toxic chemicals are called precursors.

 

Any munitions or devices specifically designed to inflict harm or cause death through the release of toxic chemicals such as artillery shells, missiles, bombs, mines, mortars or spray tanks are included in the definition of chemical weapons.

 

Any equipment specifically designed for use ‘directly in connection’ with the employment of the munitions and devices identified are lso included as chemical weapons.

 

A toxic or precursor chemical may be defined as a chemical weapon depending on its intended purpose and is defined as a chemical weapon unless it has been developed for purposes not prohibited by the Convention.

 

Toxins are toxic chemicals produced by living organisms. These are considered as both chemical and biological weapons when used in violation of the Convention. There are also a number of toxins that are synthetic.

 

The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) prohibits chemical weapons.

Algerian-Malian Border: the Humanitarian Crisis is Growing

Here is an excellent article written by Rania Hadjer. It consists of four testimonies on the emergency situation and the humanitarian crisis in the border areas between Azawad (northern Mali) and Algeria.

The four testimonies are made by Ayoub Ag Chamad, spokesperson for Imohaugh International and president of the organization Azawad Solidarity, Souleymane Ag Anara, journalist, specialist in Sahelian issues, Alyad Ag Toumast, doctor in Tin Zaouatine, and Achinkad, farmer and Tuareg cultural activist.

At the Height of the World's Ignorance and Silence...



Tin Zoatin – October 2.
195 cases of malaria.
A new death, bringing the death toll to 55 in the department headquarters alone, not to mention the nomadic Bedouins, the Zawiyas, and the two administrative branches of An-Ghassan and Tondart and their valleys and deserts.
And the victims of diphtheria are no less.
The lack of medicines continues to render all efforts to reduce the crisis futile.

The Humanitarian Crisis on the Algerian-Azawadian Border Worsens, While the Evil Convoy Gets Lost in the Desert...

Who is this evil convoy you may ask yourself if you are not familiar with the current situation in Azawad (also called northern Mali). The evil convoy is none other than the coalition of the cannibal army Fama, their helpers the criminal mercenaries Wagner and the Africa Korps. On their way to Tinzawatene on the Algerian border for a 2nd attempt at takeover and a sort of attempt? to recover the corpses of the Wagnerians who fell after the first battle they lost so heavily on July 27!

 

The main objective of the junta seems to be to reach Tinzawatane to give the first zero the opportunity to announce Goita's candidacy for the presidency of Mali but they seem to be going around in circles... Mali is betting everything on a last card bringing together the junta, the Wagner and the Afrika Korps in a convoy heading for Tinza. Since their intentions are always bad, they are called the coalition of evil.

 

But the Azawadian desert is really hostile to the invaders, so how will it end? Will the coalition of evil reach Tinza? Or have they turned back to Kidal? No one knows yet, except God.

 

All we know is that they abandoned several useless anti-aircraft vehicles that they bought in vain for nothing since Azawad has no planes... and that last night they were apparently shooting blindly at the stars, maybe they felt they were being watched? Fortunately the stars are far away otherwise they would have shot them down, someone commented on social media.

 

Fear at night in the desert can cause this kind of reaction (blindly shooting at everything and nothing)

 

And the Wagners... they leave their own country and their families to go fight and die in the Azawadian desert... for what? nothing. As the title of this post says - the Azawadian desert IS HOSTILE to invaders!! nature itself will make any invader lose his morals, make him get lost, scared, thirsty...

 

The shadows of the Azawadian army have eyes everywhere in the desert and they are the ones who are at home, they know every corner of this desert.

Thousands of families are currently at risk, hit hard by malaria and diphtheria in the bush. These diseases are devastating our communities, especially the most vulnerable, without access to adequate health care. Children, pregnant women and the elderly are the hardest hit.

 

These populations need our help NOW to save lives. Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a huge difference. It will help buy medicines, mosquito nets and strengthen prevention.

 

The lives of these populations depend on our solidarity. Let's mobilize to offer them the hope and healing they deserve.

 

Thank you for your support! 🙏

URGENT APPEAL FROM THE IMOUHAGH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION TO THE ATTENTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS

 

Subject: Health emergency in nomadic areas and refugee camps – Appeal for immediate humanitarian action The Imouhagh International Organization gravely alerts the international community to the unprecedented humanitarian and health crisis currently raging in the nomadic areas of Azawad, from Gao to Kidal, in northern Mali.

 

Local populations, particularly women, children and the elderly, are suffering disproportionately from the devastating effects of this crisis. The lack of health infrastructure, coupled with the inability to access medical care, aggravates the precariousness of this vulnerable population. For several months, in the refugee camps on the Algerian border, where thousands of people fleeing the war are living, living conditions have been rapidly deteriorating, leading to alarming rates of disease.

 

Meanwhile, malaria and other preventable diseases are spreading at an alarming rate. The lack of access to basic infrastructure, such as hospitals or health centers, puts the lives of the inhabitants in immediate danger. Those who fall ill are forced to seek treatment in unsanitary and unequipped conditions, due to a lack of adequate medical support. Impacts of climate change.

 

This year, after a severe drought, torrential rains caused catastrophic floods, washing away crops and worsening an already precarious situation. The floods, caused by climate change, have added a layer of desolation to the existing difficulties, leading to significant agricultural losses and threats of water-related diseases.

 

These extreme events have plunged populations into a food and health crisis, making them even more vulnerable to disease. For several weeks, malaria, a preventable and treatable disease, has been wreaking havoc among local populations throughout the area, mainly affecting the most vulnerable.

 

In the absence of adequate care and prevention, malaria is spreading at an alarming rate, claiming lives daily. This uncontrolled spread is compounded by the inability to access medical care. The urgency is therefore twofold: actively combating malaria, which continues to spread in these isolated areas, while fighting other preventable diseases that claim hundreds of silent victims.

 

The closure of humanitarian corridors: a deadly obstacle The seriousness of the situation is exacerbated by insecurity in certain areas and restrictions on movement for humanitarian assistance imposed by the Malian authorities, thus preventing the delivery of medical equipment, medicines and any form of assistance.

 

These blockades not only prolong the suffering of local populations, but also hinder any attempt at intervention by humanitarian and health organizations. Imouhagh International emphasizes that this hindrance represents a violation of fundamental human rights. The right to life and health care, guaranteed by international conventions, is violated by these restrictive measures.

 

Our priority demands: immediate mobilization to save lives Faced with this humanitarian tragedy, Imouhagh International calls for an urgent response from the international community, as well as from humanitarian relief organizations.

 

We insistently demand the following actions: Immediate diplomatic pressure on the Malian authorities: It is crucial that humanitarian corridors be created without further delay to allow the intervention of NGOs and health actors in the most critical areas.

The cooperation of the Malian authorities is essential to facilitate this vital aid. Mobilization of Material Resources: We call on international organizations to urgently release materials to provide medical care, food and shelter for displaced and sick people.

 

International Awareness:

We call for a global awareness campaign to draw the attention of the international community to this forgotten human tragedy. The populations in these areas suffer in the shadow of more publicized global crises. It is imperative to change this dynamic so that concrete actions can be taken.

 

A Call for Solidarity and Humanity Time is running out. Thousands of lives depend on the ability of the international community to act quickly and effectively. Imouhagh International emphasizes that silence or inaction in the face of this tragedy must not be an option.

 

The humanitarian emergency requires a concerted, principled response of solidarity, humanity and global responsibility. We reaffirm our commitment to work with all parties concerned to facilitate the delivery of aid to affected populations.

 

Imouhagh International stands ready to collaborate with governments, NGOs, and international organizations to provide rapid and sustainable support to vulnerable populations. The time for action has come, and together we must answer this call to save lives and alleviate the suffering of vulnerable populations.

And it´s obvious that neighbouring countries and the world at large, turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to this CREATED humanitarian crisis, which is neglected and blocked by the state of Mali. Illegal biological weapons anyone? The only sound heard here is the digging of graves.


Why are only Tuaregs Affected by This Unknown Disease?

The population of Azawad has been under siege for a year, after Mali expelled the UN mission (MINUSMA) that was monitoring the humanitarian situation of the population.

 

Now, the only internationally recognized actor with which human rights, humanitarian and charitable organizations can deal, the Malian government, does not allow these organizations to pass through the places where the patients and victims are, claiming that these patients are "armed".

 

This government and the Wagner mercenaries are accused of using biological weapons in their missiles against these populations. In addition to malaria and diphtheria, there is a third disease that has not been recognized and diagnosed.

 

Only Tuareg families are affected by this new disease. While there are thousands of other communities that are not affected. Only Tuareg lands are affected.

 

The known diseases (like malaria and diphtheria) and how Mali is using the epidemic for their own genocidal agenda is one thing we know. But the third disease created by biological/chemical weapons via drones is another thing. They couldn't kill them with terrorism, Wagner and drones, so now they are creating induced diseases.

A catastrophic humanitarian situation that the Sahara region has not experienced for 60 years.

Are Biological Weapons Used Against the Population of Azawad?

This is a valid question. For a long time, the water supply of Azawad villages (and ONLY #Azawad!) has been contaminated and wells have been #poisoned in several localities in the #Kidal region by Wagner and the Malian army, killing many animals (and humans too).

 

And lately, there has not only been the seasonal outbreak of known diseases, but there has also been an unprecedented outbreak of other unknown infections. One tweet reads "& suspect #Wagner operations".

 

We have known for a long time that Fama and Wagner use chemicals in their drones that they use to target civilians and #refugees in Azawad and along the Algerian border, for example the recent airstrikes around #Tinzaouaten with drones containing toxic chemicals causing the spread of new and completely unknown diseases in the region.

 

Fama and Wagner are on a mission to commit #genocide of the people of Azawad, including their animals and nature itself. If someone commits genocide, wouldn't they use all possible means?

 

Their tactic is twofold: on the one hand, it is to use toxic chemicals in drones that spread unknown diseases and on the other hand, to deliberately and unintentionally neglect prevention and vaccination, as well as not allowing #humanitarian #organizations to have access to epidemic areas under the pretext that the (sick) population is armed!

 

Photo: Kidal - Azawad, victims of internationally banned biological weapons used against them by Mali and Wagner mercenaries.


The Malian government used this tactic in the 70s, taking advantage of the drought to starve the Azawad people to death, and there is documented evidence of this. The difference today is that they are also putting chemicals in the drones. It is the same genocide that has been going on since the 60s. Only the methods have become more sophisticated.

 

The seasonal outbreak of known diseases like #malaria and #diphtheria that affect the population, largely due to the Malian government's negligence in preventing these diseases, for example through vaccination, could also very likely be the consequence of the fact that the available funds are instead used to finance the genocide of the Azawad people instead of helping their own population - and they would certainly not help the Azawad people.

 

Another indication: since the presence of Wagner mercenaries in the #Sahel, it has become even more difficult for humanitarian organizations to help and prevent the outbreak of epidemics like the one we are currently seeing and that can spread to neighboring countries.

 

It is not unlikely that the Malian #militaryjunta is behind all this with Wagner. The epidemic on one side and Wagner terrorism and #Malian #colonialism on the other.

 

The people of Azawad are dying in silence! Someone please do something!

Here is an article about biological weapons.

What did the people of Azawad do to deserve this?


"Mali, a "fraternal neighbor" exports diseases and epidemics to us and kills our people."


On September 25 and 26 alone!

50 Azawadian Bedouins died of malaria and diphtheria. The Malian authorities deliberately did not vaccinate them and continue to deny access to humanitarian organizations.

The same thing they did in the 1970s when drought hit the Azawad desert, preventing the arrival of charities to provide relief and aid, and strengthening the siege of the region, so that thousands of people died in those years from disease, hunger and thirst.

All medical reports indicate that the scourge that is spreading in the Azawad desert and southern Algeria, and which is killing hundreds of people every day far from the world's cameras, is not natural and has a direct link to the use of internationally banned chemical weapons by the Malian army (cannibals) and the Russian Wagner mercenaries.

The goal is to complete the ethnic cleansing project against the Arabs and Tuaregs in the Sahel region and to transfer the crisis to southern Algeria and Libya.

Humanitarian Crisis Worsens in Azawad


The ruling junta refuses the movement of organizations (on the Algerian border and elsewhere) under the pretext that this aid is intended for armed groups. But it is they who put chemicals in the drones…

 

They are using this epidemic to accelerate the genocide, as they did during the drought of the 70s when they used the drought to starve the Azawadians to death. There is an article about it further down on this page.

 

But this time, they also added chemicals to the Turkish drones to cause more deaths and diseases! The Algerian government should take note of these diseases and chemicals that are now spreading along its border.

 

Malaria is wreaking havoc in the regions of Kidal, Gao and Timbuktu… The populations are facing a crisis of medicines and health personnel. These populations need rapid intervention from the authorities and humanitarian NGOs.

 

Unfortunately, we fear that the money sent for aid to Mali (sent to their putschist government) will only be used by the junta to finance the genocide of the Azawadian population in the North and to pay Wagner's criminal mercenaries.

These are the kind of people the junta calls "armed people" and who they refuse to help.


People are being buried at a rapid pace every day. May God have mercy on their souls.


Mali Exports Diseases and Epidemics to Azawad via Turkish Drones

Coast: Health Sahel-Zawad Africanewsaz Outbreak of an infectious disease in northern Azawad and border areas with Algeria The northern regions of Azawad, including Kidal, Minka, Gaoa, as far as Tinzwatin and Tmengiste in Algeria, are experiencing a widespread outbreak of an infectious disease that has resulted in the deaths of many children and adults.

 

According to specialists, the cause would be the munitions used in the conflict between Azawad and Mali, in particular the chemicals found in missiles fired by Malian and Turkish drones. Some neighborhoods in Tamanghast and Tinzaouatin had previously experienced vaccination campaigns by local health authorities to limit the spread of the disease.

 

By using chemicals in drones to inflict deadly diseases and serious health problems, Mali is exporting diseases and epidemics to Azawad via Turkish drones.

 

In #Tinzawatine, thousands of families survive in undignified and unimaginable conditions, plunged into extreme poverty. Abandoned by everyone, they have received no help, neither from neighboring countries nor from humanitarian or human rights organizations. And to add to their despair, a devastating epidemic strikes relentlessly, killing dozens every day.

 

According to research conducted by a doctor on the ground, this disease is the result of the chemicals released by the drone strikes, combined with the famine that has been eating away at these families for months. Every day, they brush with death, not only because of the war, but also from disease and hunger.

Doctor #HASSAN_ALLA Helps the Poor

Actions speak for themselves, said a wise man, and men define themselves too. I'll let you see the work of a young Doctor #HASSAN_ALLA who came to the aid of a population without assistance at a time when no one could believe it. It was since 2012.

 

From the shade of the tree to the straw tent, the TaHanint clinic is taking shape in Tedjaret. In the absence of any support, he trains volunteers and puts himself at the service of health. According to a wise man of the village, the Doctor has done in one year what Mali has not done for 50 years.

 

He has received acclaim from everywhere, even in Morocco, except in his country "Mali". Far from the spotlight, Hassan is always present and committed.

 

Your testimonies are requested in order to give back to man what only belongs to him.

Children of Azawad killed. These cemeteries date from this week!! But they are full. Peace to their souls.


"Words fail emotions."
Victor Hugo

 

Today, the peaceful populations of Azawad, forced to flee executions and state terrorism orchestrated by the military junta of Bamako and its Russian mercenaries of Wagner, find themselves between a rock and a hard place. These men, women and children, in search of refuge or simply a better life, are desperate to escape this turmoil, crossing the borders to neighboring countries, where they still hope to find a haven of peace.

 

But on the one hand, Algeria, with its almost closed borders, denies them not only access, but also refugee status, thus depriving these wandering souls of essential, yet vital, social services. On the other hand, they face incessant bombings, orchestrated by the junta of Bamako and its mercenaries, using Turkish drones to sow death in the fallback zones.

 

In Tinzawatine, thousands of families survive in unworthy and unimaginable conditions, plunged into extreme poverty. Abandoned by all, they have received no help, neither from neighboring countries nor from humanitarian or human rights organizations. And to add to their despair, a devastating epidemic strikes relentlessly, taking dozens of lives every day.

 

According to research conducted by a doctor on the ground, this disease is the result of chemicals released by drone strikes, combined with the famine that has been eating away at these families for months. Every day, they come close to death, not only from war, but also from disease and hunger.

 

Today, I am launching a cry from the heart, an urgent appeal for solidarity. I am addressing women, youth, civil society, the diaspora of Azawad, as well as all our allies. It is high time to join forces and implement emergency aid for these vulnerable people, who are suffering from war, disease, and famine. We must stand together to alleviate the suffering of these orphaned children, these grieving mothers, who have lost all hope and are left behind in hostile lands where living conditions deteriorate a little more each day.

 

Then, as part of a sustained follow-up, I call on our leaders to take their responsibilities. These families, abandoned just a few meters from the Algerian border, deserve our attention. It is imperative to set up a specific file and ask the Algerian authorities to provide them with at least basic services, or simply something to eat.

 

Finally, I launch a second cry, addressed to the humanitarian organizations and NGOs, so sadly absent from this region. We need you to establish a humanitarian corridor, to rescue these families forgotten by the world.

 

Together, let's give these children the chance to grow, learn, and eat their fill, even in times of crisis. Let's be the light in their darkness, the hope in their despair.

Humanitarian Crisis in Azawad

Civilians in Azawad, caught between the fighting and oppression of Wagner and the FAMA, are forced to flee their homes to escape the ever-present violence. These forced displacements are causing humanitarian crises, where thousands of people are left homeless, without access to clean water or health care.

 

Because of this genocide and oppression, the indigenous peoples of Azawad are forced to flee their lands to seek refuge in various countries that are not their own. They find themselves in overcrowded refugee camps where people are dying from lack of water and food and where their existence as a people is threatened.

 

The populations of Azawad are suffering greatly, scattered in neighboring countries without access to a normal life or basic services. Forced to flee the violence and insecurity perpetrated against them by terrorists, the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) and the Wagner group, these populations live in refugee camps or remote areas, often in makeshift shelters.

 

Access to drinking water is extremely limited, aggravating waterborne diseases. Health services are virtually non-existent, with a shortage of medicines, making care almost inaccessible. Education is also absent, depriving children of their right to education and compromising their future.

Children selling bread on the streets of Tinzawatene.

These orphans are heads of households. Children should not have this responsibility, but the oppression of Mali that drives the Azawadian population from its lands and kills the parents of these children leaves them no choice. It is a question of survival.


These precarious living conditions increase the vulnerability and suffering of the Azawadian populations, who are struggling to survive in a context of persistent humanitarian crisis. The situation is catastrophic: a malaria epidemic is now raging in areas where poor nomadic populations live as well as in refugee camps.

 

Every day, people die by the dozen. And every day, one person is buried because of malaria, a seasonal disease that wreaks havoc affecting nomadic lands without distinction of age. Faced with this crisis, the inhabitants remain without assistance, without medicine or nursing care.

 

Humanitarian NGOs must intervene urgently. Everyone can help by disseminating information or providing concrete support.

The Hunt for Light Skins (Peulhs, Tuaregs and Arabs) Continues…
While Mali Sinks into Chaos.

On 17-09-24, the terrorist group JNIM (operating under Al-Qaeda) carried out a violent attack and attacked the Macina battalion against the headquarters of the Malian gendarmerie and the Madibo Keita airport and destroyed several planes, including setting fire to the engines of the presidential plane, a well and destroying the interior of the airport building. They also caused the death of several gendarmes.

These terrorist groups are originally affiliated with Mali. One must wonder how such a thing could have happened? What is this level of security?

 

The Goal - Create Chaos

 

This attack has provoked outrage among the Malian population but it did not seek revenge on the perpetrators, no, it has instead violently attacked innocent people of the Peul ethnic group and burned them alive in the streets to the applause of the crowd surrounding them. They were like a herd of bloodthirsty hyenas and one has to wonder where this ignorant and barbaric hyena mentality comes from? In the video, we even see young children throwing stones at a poor Peul on fire. Disgusting scenes.

 

This incident shows the chaos created by the terrorists, which the Malian junta and Wagner are taking advantage of to commit genocide on the Azawadian population (the Tuaregs, Peuls and Moors) in the name of their "fight against terrorism" agenda. The targets of their genocide have nothing to do with these terrorist attacks and the chaos that follows. But they become the victims.

 

This is a strategic play by Mali to emphasize that it is threatened by terrorism in order to solicit the support and sympathy of the international community, while continuing its tactic of "license to kill" Azawadian civilians in the name of "terrorism". They were burning people from the Fulani community alive. This is the true face of the racist regime in Mali. This junta only seeks to stay in power and continues to lie to the people.

 

Azawad needs its independence as soon as possible to be able to live in peace and freedom on its legitimate ancestral land far from this violent and inhuman racist state with which it has absolutely nothing in common at any level. Independence is the only solution.

 

France has done great damage by ceding Azawad to Mali (the state it had created in the 1960s) instead of returning it to its rightful owners, the indigenous people of Azawad. And the neighboring countries by accepting these artificial borders have also done great damage to the Azawadians.

 

These artificial borders are the reason why the Azawadians are now at the mercy of these monsters who are doing everything they can to exterminate everything that lives in Azawad, men, women, children, old people, animals, trees, grass... even the disabled or the sick are not immune.

 

To those who say that the Azawadis should coexist with Mali... look at what these inhuman monsters are doing to their own inhabitants - only because of their ethnicity.

Today more than ever, Azawad wants to separate from them.

 

Mali is a terrorist state. The international community must intervene and help protect civilians!!


The members of the Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) team who carried out the raid on the Bamako military airport and the camp of the National Gendarmerie School of Mali today, September 17, 2024, are neither Arabs nor Tuaregs.

 

Therefore, the military in Bamako should think a thousand times before calling the Azawad movements terrorists.


Here are some thoughts and comments on these recent events.

 

"Today's events are of unprecedented gravity. Not only has the national symbol been changed by that of the terrorists, but acts of sabotage of an exceptional scale have targeted military aviation, with the total burning of six military aircraft including a drone and considerable damage inflicted on other aircraft.

Rhissa Ag

 

"All day, anger has been expressed against the Fulani and Tuareg components in Bamako after the attack by the Macina battalion against the headquarters of the Malian gendarmerie and the Madibo Keita airport. Burning people alive is extremely cruel and cannot be accepted or justified.

Ayoub Chamad

 

The putschist army that massacred civilians in Azawad was unable to defend the capital attacked by the JNIM. Shame on the FAMA and the board of directors.

Mahfouz Ag Adnane

 

Today in Bamako and where the Malian junta controls, being a white Tuareg is sufficient proof to be targeted and killed on the spot. Even the Tuaregs loyal to the Malian junta are afraid to leave their homes.

Akli Sh'kka

 

Seeing the scenes already makes us doubt that these people are human like us. Seeing the applause makes me want to close this country like an electric fence so as not to contaminate the rest of the world with its disease of perversity beyond the acceptable limit.

Liliam Brzezinski

 

There are really many things that shame the Malian forces (FAMA) and that also shame the hyena people who rejoice when human beings are burned alive. History will remember it. And whatever the victims, what kind of people burn a human being alive in the street? History will also remember that the Azawadian army has never terrorized civilians, eaten their flesh, or burned them alive.

Tiaree ⵜⵢⵔ

 

Mali and double terrorism – two sides of the same coin. They attack Mali so that the world thinks that Mali is fighting us in the name of terrorism, but we are not terrorists.

Ag Pala

 

The Malian army sees me as an enemy than the Tuaregs and to send all its forces to the Azawad in the north to kill civilians instead of protecting its real territory as usual. It is really a shame to the Malian forces (FAMA)

Mohamed Abaghor

 

The pagan Bambara people, in power in the non-brother state of Mali, are a bloodthirsty people par excellence, perhaps even in their genetic heritage prone to violence.

 

But beyond ethnography; What made me even more convinced of this opinion regarding the recent war was the reactions of the general public to the video that was released about two months ago, showing members of its army dismembering the limbs of a child from the Fulani ethnic group (a component of the population of Azawad), eating his flesh - literally eating it - and then the majority praised this act, and I learned from them at the time that eating enemy meat is an ancient custom among them, and some of them deeply regretted that it was in danger of extinction as well as the "Arab religion", as they say.

 

As for those who denied it, they did not deny the act, but rather denied its publication, saying that this type of video should absolutely not be published.

 

Also their reaction to the recent massacre of their army after suffering a terrible defeat in Tin Zuawatin, which therefore bombed a clinic and a Quranic school for children on the move. The bombing claimed the lives of 21 people, including 11 children. and dozens of wounded.

 

Yesterday in the Malian capital, Bamako, after the attack by Al-Qaeda (Jnim) on the international airport and the National Gendarmerie Center, thousands of Bambaras took to the streets, not to repel the attack by Al-Qaeda, but to search for the civilians (Tuaregs, Arabs and Fulani) who live in Bamako, to ethnically exterminate them.

 

A scene in one of the videos shows the Bambara crowd in dozens of people burning alive the body of a young Fulani and dancing as if they were participating in an ancient pagan ritual, in an extremely disgusting scene. (which Facebook does not allow to publish).

 

It is not the young man’s fault, except that he was of the same ethnic group as the Al-Qaeda/Jnim brigades that launched the attack, the Macina Brigades, made up of the Fulani ethnic group scattered throughout central Mali.

Most of those who joined these brigades did not do so initially out of love for them, but out of hatred for Mali, its injustice and tyranny.

 

So I was no longer surprised by anything, not that the peoples of the South denied the crimes of their army, nor even the praise and pride they had for it, because this army ended up coming out of the core of this people, and it is only an image of them that embodies the extent of their brutality and dehumanization.

Lahcen Ag Touhami

 

From 1963 through the 1990s and again in 2012, history has revealed that in Mali, being Tuareg is not just marginalized but criminalized—from the relentless discrimination they face in ‘normal’ times to the brutal violence and trauma they endure in crises beyond their control.

How the Malian Government Used the Drought of the 70s to Let the Tuaregs Starve.

It served as a means of genocide.

And today, they use drones and Russian Wagner mercenaries. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change until Azawad has its independence.

The photos are a historical page in the history of the desert, despite their harshness.

Photos from the year of drought and the "Manna" that changed the course of the desert and forced its inhabitants into the diaspora... And that's when the Malian government used the drought to let the Tuaregs starve to death. They used it as a means of genocide.

Photo dated March 1974. Taken in Bordj Baji Mokhtar and said to be in Timiaun.

An important document from the French Embassy in Niamey reveals how the authorities of the State of Mali committed genocide and ethnic cleansing against the inhabitants of Azawad in the 1970s by using drought and starving them.

What is Behind this Genocide of People in Azawad?  

The evil gets even deeper.

We know that greed for the natural recources of the land and that racism against Azawadians with lighter skin are two reasons for the Malian putschist junta (and the Malian governements since the 60s) to perform a genocide against the touaregs, peuhls, arabs and songhais of Azawad. 

 

But there's also a sinister third reason; human organ traffic, performed by the PMC Wagner Group in collaboration with elements of the Malian governement. This was discovered in october - 23, but has not come to the knowledge of the public until quite recently. 

 

Here is an article about the next level of evil after all the articles and videos on news and media sites and social medias about dismemberments, shootings, mines and homemade bombs, drone bombings, poisonings, burnings, beheadings and cannibalism:

 


Urgent!!!

‎A reliable source, well-informed about the work of the Ministry of Defense system, has leaked that Minister Sadio Camara is coordinating with the PMC Wagner group for the international trafficking of human organs taken from victims in the north and center of the country.

 

‎In fact, human trafficking initially began without the knowledge of the transitional authorities. It was precisely in mid-October 2023 that the Malian intelligence service discovered what the unilateral behavior of the Russian partner was hiding in its bloodthirsty attacks against populations considered close to terrorist and independence groups. 

 

Following internal investigations, negotiations took place at the top of the pyramid with the managers of the Wagner group.

 

‎Thus, the Minister of Defense and his counterpart at the head of the intelligence service seized the opportunity to demand 20% of the proceeds from the said trafficking on all organs taken from victims in Mali.

Drone Strike Against Civilians and Traders.

The victims by the bombing by the cowardly #criminal junta of Bamako are always civilians and traders. The drone targeted a transporter truck in #Zarho in the #Timbuktu region.

They only hit the #civilians and it´s always the poor populations suffering.

The #drone strike of the cowardly juntas of Bamako and Ouagadougou, left 7 dead all civilians including women and children.

 

Cowards! and that is firmly written in history.

Only civilians!! once again, as is the habit of #Fama_Wagner.


This kind of violent operations is an attempt to drive the Azawadian populations out of their homeland by massacring them and destroying their property as well as poisoning and massacring their animals.


The scorched earth policy against the Azawad population led by the cowardly criminal military junta in Bamako continues unabated.

AZAWAD COUNTERATTACKS WITH A MESSAGE

On 09/11/2024 at around 8:50 am, several bombs were dropped by an Azawadian army drone on the FAMa camp in #Goundam

 

A message was sent to the terrorist army of Mali and its Russian mercenary allies, Wagner. The Azawadian army bombards of the Gundam camp with marches, caused heavy losses to the Malian army and the Wagner mercenaries.

 

The endless war in Mali is taking another turn and experiencing a serious escalation. An escalation where the junta no longer seems to be the only one to have drones and to be able to use them exclusively.

 

Azawad Army is gaining strength.

 

The Azawadian people are fighting for their right of existence and freedom in their own ancestral land which was stolen by France and unjustly handed over to their newly created state Mali after the colonization.

Excerpts from the speech of Mr. Bilal Ag Cherif, President of the Strategic Framework for the Defense of the People of Azawad (CSP). Today, September 4, 2024.

**Call for Resistance and Unity for the Defense of Azawad**

 

My dear compatriots,

I address you with infinite gratitude for the courage and resilience that you demonstrate every day in the face of the attacks and injustices that overwhelm us. You have embodied the dignity and strength that are at the very heart of our struggle for Azawad.

We must understand that true peace is impossible as long as the question of Azawad remains unresolved. Peace cannot be built on compromises that betray our legitimate quest for recognition and justice.

 

The agreements made between certain States and international companies with the putschists, without our consent, can only lead to failure. These agreements are nothing but mirages, incapable of satisfying our true aspirations. They can offer neither stability nor prosperity.

 

We are deeply dismayed by the complicit silence of neighboring nations, the African Union, the World Islamic Organization, human rights organizations, and even the UN. This silence in the face of the horrors inflicted on our people seems to suggest that our pain is being ignored. We call on the world to open its eyes to the carefully orchestrated ethnic cleansing by the junta in Bamako against our people.

 

We must also be clear: there will be no peace as long as this regime remains in place. It is clear that our only path is the struggle to defend our rights and our existence. The junta in Bamako is carrying out a sinister project of demographic replacement, aimed at erasing our people from their own land. We cannot remain passive in the face of this threat.

 

I make a vibrant appeal to all Azawadians – tribal leaders, religious leaders, intellectuals, journalists – to rally around the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of the People of Azawad (CSP_DPA). Let us join forces with renewed determination to protect our people and preserve our dignity.

 

It is outrageous that the salary of a mercenary of the Wagner militia exceeds that of a senior officer in the Malian army. This cruel injustice reveals a world where inhumanity seems to take precedence over the fundamental values ​​of rights and dignity.

Since 1963 until today, successive regimes in Mali have systematically sought to crush our people when their power is strengthened. This persistent adversity demands from us unwavering resilience and struggle to safeguard our existence and our values.

 

Azawad is not simply a political issue; it is a historical cause, without expansionist aims. The borders of Azawad extend to the north of Mali, including Gao, Timbuktu, Taoudénit, Kidal and Ménaka. We remain firmly attached to our history and our land.

With determination and hope, I call on you to walk together towards our future, preserving our dignity and defending our cause with unwavering strength.

 

Long live free and independent Azawad!

A Greeting to the World from Brazil - FREE AZAWAD!

Screenings in #Brazil to try to draw the #attention of the #people to what is happening in #Azawad.


Mahfouz Ag Adnane: Our Message to All the Peoples of Africa.

Our message to all the peoples of Africa, what do you think of the colonized nations, #massacred in their own lands and those of their ancestors, what should they do? Our answer to this question is the struggle and resistance until they regain their freedoms. It was like that during all the #colonizations that the history of Humanity has known, why not us?

 

Dear free Africans and true Pan-Africanists, be on the right side of History and not next to putschists who have chosen violence over dialogue, drones over peace!!

 

We, the people of #Azawad, are only continuing a struggle and resistance initiated on November 13, 1893, when the first French settlers arrived in Tin-Bouctou, the young resistance fighters of Kel Tingueréguef fought to drive the French out of their territory (confederation). One battle (takimbawat) the only Frenchman who was able to escape the swords of the men Chabboune Ag FANDAGAMOU arrived in the city of Tin-Bouctou repeating "akkattan angattan" which means go ahead, kill them!

 

NB: the majority of this column were indeed Bambara, Malenke, Bobo, Bozo etc ... So, it was the Malians who supported COLONIAL France and not the Tuaregs.

 

The #Tuareg chiefs, according to Modibo Keita, the first president of independent Mali, continued for 78 years that France spent in Azawad, fighting against these forces throughout Azawad. I leave you with a few names to research yourselves: Mohamed Ahmed known as Ingonna; Madidou Ag Alkhattab; Fihroune Ag ALINSAR; Alla Ag Albacher; to name just a few.

 

Dear #Africans: do not forget that more than 350 chiefs and notables, including the Cadi of Tin-Bouctou Mohamed Mahmoud al arawni signed a petition in 1957, to tell General de Gaull that they wanted their independence as was the case before French colonization! So, who is the enemy of #France? Who did France serve?

 

Dear Africans (true Pan-Africanists) do you agree that Russian mercenaries kill an African people in front of your eyes every day without saying anything?!! France has never been a friend of the Tuaregs (but we shake hands with everyone). I hope that after all this, it revises its mistakes towards AZAWAD and its PEOPLE.

 

Our last message to all Africans that we are more determined! Azawad will win!!! Mahfouz Ag Adnane, AZAWAD activist until the last second of his life.

 

I leave you with our musicians to discover us very far from what our enemies, the putschists of Bamako say about us. #Tinariwen - Imidiwan Afrik Temdam https://youtu.be/TLQpnpLLD6Q?si=3ew36I4UlLc0-B-W

The situation in Azawad explained

In an excellent article from Dijonctr.info regarding the recent demonstration that took place in Dijon on August 31, they also explain the complex and urgent situation in Azawad.

The article was written in French, but with their permission we are now publishing it here on this blog in French, English, Arabic and Portuguese.

Because it is in the interest of the international community to know what Azawad is and what is causing this situation where thousands of Azawadian civilian populations are forced to flee and are being exterminated by the #terrorist duo of the Malian armed forces and their Russian mercenary auxiliaries of #Wagner violating all human rights that exist.

Silence is no longer an option! Read the article below.

"There has never been so much resistance from Azawad, and so much hatred from Mali"

 

While a rally in support of the Tuaregs of Azawad is being organized in Dijon, Bilal - a French-Azawadian Tuareg living in Dijon - explains the situation there in a long interview and calls for broad support for the national movement for the liberation of Azawad.

 

Could you explain what Azawad is?

Bilal: Azawad is the northern region of Mali. It is a vast area in which several ethnic groups live, in particular the #Tuaregs, but also Songhay, Moors, etc. There have been many political changes in recent years, since the rebellion of the Tuaregs and other populations of Azawad in 2012. It is a rich area (in oil, gold, uranium, etc.) but abandoned by the Malian state to traffickers, with no development and no authority to manage the area. In 2012, there was a revolt by the MNLA - the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad - many important things happened, with external interventions by France and the African Union forces to fight terrorism.

 

Who were also fighting against the Azawad militants?

Bilal: It's more complicated than that. These forces are all against the independence of Azawad, but they mainly intervened to fight terrorism. In 2015, after many negotiations, there was an agreement between the Tuareg independence movement and Mali, with the mediation of Algeria, which was to be the guarantor of this agreement. The agreement provided for broad autonomy for Azawad: the Azawad forces would be mixed with the Malian forces, while keeping central power in Bamako. The agreements were signed, the Tuaregs accepted them, but Mali did not respect them. A few points were worked on, but half of the agreement was not implemented.


And there was a military coup in 2020?

Bilal: There have been several coups, but the last one took place in 2020. The first thing the military did was take the agreement and throw it in the trash. They chased away all the international forces that were there to maintain the stability of the peace. They asked them to leave, and they left. Algeria, which was supposed to be the guarantor of the agreement, did not denounce what was happening. The #independence movement was surprised and found itself facing an army that wants to eradicate it, without negotiation, with the complicity of the Wagner militia.

 

Mali has shown that it no longer wants peace, but simply the eradication of all those who do not agree with it. Mali's leaders speak of the independence fighters as terrorists, any Tuareg who disagrees is treated like a terrorist. While before all these stories, Mali helped to install terrorists in the Azawad area. Because with each revolt in Azawad, terrorist trafficker movements allied themselves with Mali.

 

Do terrorist movements prefer the instability created by Mali?

Bilal: Yes, exactly. This area is a passage that connects Morocco, Western Sahara, and East Africa, mainly Egypt. It is a passage for drugs, for everything you want. The traffickers have no interest in this area being secure. And that suits Mali, which does not want Tuareg independence. The Malian state says it is waging war on terrorists, but that has never been the case. It is a rogue state that is always there to repress, thanks to alliances like today with Russian mercenaries.

 

Since November 2023, the entire population of Azawad in disagreement with Mali has left for neighboring countries, Algeria and Mauritania, because people are attached to their independence and autonomy, they want to manage their lives and they know that they will be massacred if they stay. It has already happened in history: in 1963, Modibo Keïta, the first president of Mali, did the same against the Tuaregs. The independence movement therefore abandoned the areas it controlled. There is this novelty of drones, which Tuareg history has never known... Drones, you can't... You have to take cover, because if you don't have anti-drones, you will be crushed. Suddenly, the military junta and its mercenaries advanced and began, city after city, village after village, to kill all those who do not obey. They see everyone as rebels.

 

What happened in Tinzaouatène the week of August 25?

Bilal: #Tinzaouatène is the last pocket controlled by the Azawad separatists, it is a border town with Algeria. A column of the Malian army and Russian mercenaries was tasked with occupying this last town. It was surprised by the resistance and was decimated. The entire army was decimated, except for a few prisoners among whom were Russian mercenaries. When the soldiers and mercenaries arrive at a camp, they ask people if there are rebels, they look for information and they humiliate people so that they talk. Except that people have no information, the rebels are not going to give information to a shepherd. But they do everything to make them talk.

 

When there were these mercenary hostages, the Tuaregs recovered their phones and found videos of looting and theft. In one video, we see a poor Tuareg woman being asked for information. She says she doesn’t know, that she doesn’t move from where she lives. They forced her to undress and filmed it. In these phones, there is evidence of the humiliation and repression of poor populations.

 

Right now, there is a pause in the fighting after Tinzaouatène, but they are preparing for revenge. The plan is to eradicate all those who do not agree with them. That is the situation at the moment, but there is resistance. There is resistance despite the differences in military means. In any case, these are people who have the advantage of the terrain, they are at home. Mali is going to be humiliated, it will be a shame and it will catch up with them because what is happening right now is the last line for the cause of Azawad. There has never been so much resistance from Azawad, and so much hatred from Mali. This is the final fight, with a winner and a loser at the end.

 

Photo: A child from Tinzaouatène injured by the drone attack. He is called a "terrorist" by the Malian putschist government. (as well as their supporters, the AES). Wagner doesn't care, they kill for money.)


Is there some kind of coordination between the Tuareg rebels and the radical Islamist movements?

Bilal: There has never been any coordination. What is happening is that there are many different movements in the region: there is the JNIM, the movement for the support of Islam and Muslims, which has its own objectives that I do not know. You have the Islamic State, you have Daesh, there is everyone. With the JNIM there is no hostility at the moment, on the other hand the other movements are worse than Mali for the Tuareg movement. The Tuaregs do not want to ally themselves with them, but since they are very powerful movements they impose themselves, and the Tuaregs have no interest in making war on everyone. The main enemy is Mali.

 

To be clear, Azawad is not just Tuaregs, is it?

Bilal: Today, the Tuareg independence movement is made up of many different people, especially Fulani and Moors. The Moors are people who speak a dialect close to Mauritanian. In fact, the name "Tuareg" covers just about everyone. When we say "Tuareg", they are turbaned people, with dress codes shared by everyone in the region. So I would say that the name Tuareg covers everyone, but if we wanted to be precise we would say the Kel Tamasheq, that is to say the people who speak Tamasheq; the Moors speak Hassanya; the Fulani speak Fulani or Fulfulde as they say; the Songhay speak Sonhrai. The definition of the Tuareg people is a bit complex. The position of the Songhay is a bit neutral, they are fishermen who live on the banks of rivers, like for example in Gao which is their main capital. While the Peuls, the Kel Tamasheq and the Moors have always been more involved in the struggle.

 

Can you tell us what connects you to this struggle in Azawad?

Bilal: Everything. I was born there and I grew up there. My whole family is from Kidal, the region in the far north, but there are other regions: the regions of Ménaka, Gao, Taoudenni and Timbuktu, so Azawad is a bit divided like that. In the region of Kidal that I know well, I have many relatives, many parents who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Azawad, killed by Mali or its allies.

 

And what also connects me is that today we are in the 21st century and people live in a terribly rich area, in extreme poverty. My duty is therefore to fight so that we can live with dignity on this land and benefit from these resources, without Mali, under the cover of a so-called State, having these resources exploited by foreign powers, without agreement or sharing with the original populations. This is something that I will never accept.

 

"Mali will leave, it will leave as it came. It came by force, it will leave by force."

So Russia would like to exploit the resources there?

Bilal: Of course, all those who went there had the goal of exploiting these resources. And Mali is like an intermediary. It is a worker in the service of foreign powers, to give authorizations, while it is not at home to give that. It can be there temporarily, because it is the law of the strongest that applies today.

It is always with the help of a foreign force that it manages to position itself in the Azawad zone. Except that today, we are no longer like in the 1960s when the Tuaregs were locked in this zone.

Today there are Tuareg intellectuals who are everywhere on the planet. The Tuareg diaspora, in America, in Europe, works so that this zone regains its autonomy. And the day when allies are willing to work with them, Mali will leave, it will leave as it came. It came by force, it will leave by force.


Why is it important that there are gatherings in France? We are far away...

Bilal: We are far away, but it is here that the Tuareg, Azawadian community is the largest. The history of Mali and Azawad is linked to France, to colonization. France is in it up to its ears. It is the first colonizer and France always hopes to come back. Today there is a big geopolitical change, there is a big war of powers. Ten years ago Russia was not in Africa and France was everywhere. In all of history Russia has never come to North Africa. So there is a war of interests.

 

I have the impression that French foreign policy always hopes to return to Mali as before. It always hopes that one day the Russians will leave and France will come back. I think this because I have not seen any French intellectual or any statement from the French government denouncing what is happening. They denounce the military junta, but you have to know that this junta still represents Mali today. Even if the population does not agree with the arrival of this junta in power, today there is pride in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa to have freed France. It is as if they felt liberated. I do not care, whether it is France or Russia in Mali, it is the same to me. What I hope is that France and the European Union in general look favorably on the Tuaregs. The Tuaregs need allies, they are good partners, we can work with them. It is time to seize this opportunity.

 

Today there is a rally in support of Azawad in Dijon, why in Dijon?

Bilal: In January, we participated in the first Tuareg demonstration in Paris, in response to a call from the Kabiles. We were asked to all come to support the cause of Azawad. We went there from #Dijon, from all over France, we had a great demonstration that was a success. When we left, we thought about how to do something like that again. We immediately thought of Dijon, because there is a good Tuareg community here that started arriving in 2012. It is one of the big communities in France, which was helped by collectives and associations and in particular the Quartier des Lentillères. There was this meeting with the Lentillères that encouraged the Tuareg to settle in Dijon. Because there was this crossing of the spirit and the way of life between Tuaregs and the inhabitants of Lentillères, it's true!

 

The Tuareg community has therefore grown, which makes it easier to organize a gathering here than elsewhere. With the support of the collective soutien asile 21 as well, without forgetting the Human Rights League which made the declaration of the demonstration to the prefecture.

 

What would you like this gathering to look like today?

Bilal: I would like there to be people, and not just Tuaregs. People from Dijon who would come to denounce the situation and stand alongside the Tuaregs because now is the time, the Tuaregs need support now. There are also Tuareg intellectuals who will come from Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg, who will speak. And at the end of the demonstration there will be a meal shared with the Tuaregs at Lentillères. We wanted to do a Tuareg music concert at the end of the day, but not everyone agreed because there have been many deaths in Azawad in the last 20 days, so it is a period of mourning and Tuareg music is a celebration music... But it is only postponed!

 

Do you want to add something?

Bilal: I am a simple Franco-Azawadian, and I prefer to say Azawadian than Malian because I have never felt Malian. It is not that I feel superior to Malians, because I have a light skin tone or whatever, it has nothing to do with that. The truth is that there is nothing that connects me with Mali, the history, the language, the culture, nothing. It is black and white. Simply, when French colonization stopped, it left us with Mali.

 

I would like to say that we need to look for information, that we need to be interested in the situation of the Tuaregs and try to find out what is really going on. Because there is strong propaganda from Mali to make the Tuaregs look like Islamist terrorist movements.

 

The Tuaregs are a people held hostage between Malian terrorism and international terrorism, we need to know that. The Tuaregs need allies, ready to support them publicly. We need to be interested, we need to get closer to the Tuaregs.

And as if Murdering the Civilian population is Azawad is not enough...

KIDAL the property of the populations who had fled the exactions perpetrated by the #terrorists Malian Armed Forces and their Russian mercenary auxiliaries of #Wagner, are until today being stolen to be resold in Gao. Open-air looting in #KIDAL on 30/8/24.

This situation is all the more regrettable as it violates the fundamental rights of the populations already tested by the conflict.


Large demonstration today in Dijon against the crimes and genocides perpetrated by the Malian army and their Wagner auxiliaries against the populations of #Azawad


Large #demonstration today in #Dijon against the crimes and genocides perpetrated by the Malian army and their Wagner auxiliaries against the populations of #Azawad. A demonstration for a just cause.

 

Congratulations and our thanks to the organizers!

 

The world must know that the Azwadians have a just cause, the right to live with dignity on their land. They are a people who have been fighting for their legitimate rights since 1960 until today, a people who want freedom on their territory.

@Ag_Azt

 

It is urgent that the #United #Nations, which has remained silent in the face of the #massacres taking place in Azawad, react to support the fragile states of the Sahel and grant the oppressed peoples the right to live in peace on their territory, just like the other peoples of the world.
@Toumast_Info

 

Know that history will judge those who choose to turn a blind eye to abuses of power and crimes against #humanity.

Here are some photos from the demonstration:

 


Today we stand in this ancient city of Dijon to declare our unlimited solidarity with the Azawadi people as a result of this systematic ethnic cleansing that they have been and are being subjected to daily by the coup council in Mali and the Russian #Wagner mercenaries with the support of the #Sahel Alliance and #Turkey in full view of the civilized world.

 

We stand to declare to the global conscience that silence is no longer an option, as every minute of inaction contributes to the suffering of the innocent. A year has passed and innocent defenseless Tuaregs, Arabs and Fulani are being subjected to #genocide, looting of property, destruction of villages and sabotage of water sources with the aim of emptying the region of its people and bringing in new residents from the south, which is the gist of what the illegitimate government of Bamako is planning for peace in the region.

 

We stand today for the victims, for humanity and for peace whose pillars are collapsing every day due to the coup council's criminal policy and its shameful actions.

 

Hence, we call on the #European #Union and #France in particular to intervene and pressure the coup leaders in Mali and cut off all forms of support to them. We also appeal to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the international community to hold an emergency session regarding the humanitarian situation in Azawad and conduct an international investigation into the crimes committed in the region and to expedite the relief of Azawadi refugees in neighboring countries and establish safe areas for them.

 

We also call on the #International #Criminal #Court to issue an arrest warrant for members of the coup council in Mali and to try them for their crimes against defenseless civilians in Azawad.

 

Our European and non-European friends, thank you for standing with us and declaring your solidarity with the Azawadi people. We here at the Azawad Solidarity Association have launched a humanitarian appeal to provide assistance to refugees, the wounded and orphans. You can trust us to be a link between you and those destitute.

 

Our message to the Azawadi people...

O Azawadi people who are steadfast in the face of the Sahel Alliance and the Russian mercenaries, we salute you and call on you to be patient and steadfast. You are on the right side of history and have paid great sacrifices for freedom and dignity over the course of more than a century. Your sons wrote the brightest page in history in the immortal battle of Tin Zawatin a few weeks ago with their victory over the Russian mercenaries despite being equipped with the latest weapons and techniques of war.

 

Today, you are facing the countries of the Sahel Alliance and their supporters, but we will defeat them because we are the rightful owners and the owner of the right is victorious.

 

A message to the neighborhood..

We must not miss at this moment to also thank our brothers in history, blood and destiny, the peoples of the Greater Maghreb, Amazighs and Arabs, for their sympathy with the Azawadi people in their steadfastness and ordeal, against whom the dictatorial governments of the South have conspired, practicing exclusion, racism, genocide, displacement and uprooting from their land and history. We are all hopeful that the cries of our brothers in the Maghreb countries will be translated into political and humanitarian action to save the Azawadi people from the clutches of the conspiracy being hatched against them.

Update and Alert: Vigilance on Refugee Leaders in #M'Bera Camp, Mauritania.

 

#Update and Alert: #Vigilance on #Refugee #Leaders in #M'Bera Camp. It is our duty to bring to the attention of the international community and relevant stakeholders a worrying situation unfolding in the M'Bera refugee camp, Mauritania.

 

According to credible reports, some individuals, claiming to represent the interests of refugees, are in reality acting as agents of the Kati junta, which has been labeled "cannibalistic" due to its repressive behavior and human rights violations.

 

A Risk to Refugee Security These individuals, by infiltrating leadership positions within the refugee community, represent not only a threat to the security of the people they claim to serve, but also to the very integrity of the M'Bera camp. Their actions, which appear to be aimed at advancing the interests of an oppressive regime, can jeopardize the safety and well-being of refugees, who have already suffered immeasurable trauma fleeing violence and instability.

 

Call for Denunciation: It is imperative that these behaviors be denounced firmly. We call on all refugees, as well as members of the international community, to report these individuals to the Office of the #UnitedNations #HighCommissionerforRefugees (UNHCR).

 

#UNHCR has a responsibility to protect refugees and ensure that those who abuse their position to harm the community are held accountable. Refugee recognition must be based on principles of dignity, safety, and respect for human rights.

#Withdrawal_of_Refugee_Status: We also call on UNHCR to carefully review the status of these self-proclaimed leaders and consider withdrawing their refugee status. Allowing individuals who work for an oppressive regime to retain their refugee status.

THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE

Press release No. 5/BE/AAS/2024

 

Following the massacres, torture, systematic and daily ethnic cleansing of Azawad civilians by the Malian armed forces/Wagner couple, the Azawad Solidarity association launches a solemn appeal for a peaceful demonstration this Saturday 08/31/2024 in Canry-Dijon to say no to the injustices and the hellish treatment suffered by the Tuaregs, Fulani and Arabs of the Sahel.

 

For more than a year, the human rights situation has deteriorated considerably in the Sahel, particularly in northern Mali, particularly in Azawad.

 

We invite human rights organizations, humanitarian organizations, and associations of the #Tuareg Diaspora in Europe Odte-Tanat, @Imouhagh International, Amazigh associations to come and mobilize with us to denounce these massacres perpetrated on innocent civilians, the majority of whom are women and children; to reveal to the whole world what the military juntas and their Russian auxiliaries are doing to the African peoples of the #Sahel.

 

Finally, Azawad solidarity is counting on your strong collective and individual participation so that these massacres on the peoples of the Sahel stop, but also to let the world know that the military juntas and the Wagner society constitute a very great danger for the stability of Africa and the future of the peoples.

 

Done in Strasbourg, August 28, 2024

The communication officers.


Press release on the massacres committed by the Famas on the civilian population in Tinzawaten The Azawad Solidarity Association learned with dismay and indignation of the massacre of 26 civilians by cowardly airstrikes carried out by the Malian Armed Forces this Sunday, August 25, 2024, with a Burkinabe drone of Turkish manufacture, in Tinzawaten.

 

These attacks cowardly targeted civilians in a refugee camp, causing several deaths and injuries, most of them children. Tinzawaten is a crossroads that welcomes many migrants from all sub-Saharan nationalities, therefore, in addition to the civilian victims from the said locality, several nationalities, including Chadians, Nigerians and Sudanese, unfortunately perished in this barbaric attack.

 

In these tragic moments, Azawad solidarity presents its most saddened condolences to the bereaved families and to all the people of Azawad. All our thoughts are with the victims, the injured and their loved ones. On the humanitarian level, the situation is just as tragic for these populations. They are prey to the lack of water, food and emergency medical care.

 

The only community health center in the locality was destroyed and its manager was also killed, this 25/08/2024, by these drone strikes. The populations are cruelly threatened by famine and epidemics and require urgent assistance.

 

It is for this reason that we launch a cry from the heart to regional and international humanitarian actors, to all those of good will to come to the aid of these populations as quickly as possible.

 

We would like to thank Algeria and Mauritania for the reception and humanitarian responses they provide to the refugees who fled the bombings of the Bamako junta and its Russian partners.

 

We also ask them to be more committed to protecting displaced persons and civilian refugees in Tinzawaten and in all other camps hosting refugees.

 

Azawad Solidarity urges countries that support the terrorist junta in Bamako in these massacres of civilian populations to respect human rights. The Azawadian people have the right to security and self-determination, it is imperative that regional and international bodies seriously concern themselves with their protection.

They murdered two people on the spot. Source: local journalist Abdollah Ag Mohamed. According to my sources, the operation is led by Wagner's men. Why these murders against the Tuareg community?

This photo has today become the very symbol of the cruel, inhuman and cowardly oppression performed by the criminal Malian junta, Wagner, and the AES against the civilians in Azawad.

This is the "terrorism" that Mali says they are fighting, with the help of Wagner and AES!

The request of the Tuareg community to the International Community for a response to these crimes is legitimate.

It is imperative that the military juntas, supported by foreign powers, put an end to this violence and answer for their actions before international justice for these alleged acts of genocide.

URGENT ALERT: Massacre of civilians in Tinzawatene
The organization Imouhagh International expresses its deep concern and anger following the tragic events of August 25, 2024 in Tinzawatene.

 

August 25, 2024 will remain as a day of deep tragedy in Tinzawatene. This peaceful locality, which had become a refuge for thousands of people in search of safety, was cruelly struck by a series of drone strikes by the combined FAMA-Wagner forces, leaving behind a spectacle of desolation and pain.

 

Human toll: 15 dead, including 11 children! These victims, having fled the exactions of the FAMA-Wagner couple and the terrorist groups, hoped to find a semblance of peace in Tinzawatene.

 

But this dream was brutally shattered by Turkish drone strikes, operating mercilessly in the service of a Malian army that, unable to protect its own people, is now turning to ruthless means to impose its authority.

 

A tragedy beyond imagination The toll is appalling. The victims were almost exclusively children (11 out of 15 victims). Imuhagh International will not remain silent in the face of this barbarity.

 

We insistently demand: - An immediate end to the massacres in the Sahel! - The categorical refusal of the international community to remain complicit by its silence!

 

The military juntas that have taken power in the Sahel, supported by Russia and Turkey, must put an immediate end to this bloodshed.

 

The people of AZAWAD, who simply aspire to live in peace, can no longer be sacrificed on the altar of geopolitical interests.

------

Our demands are clear:

 

1. An immediate international investigation into these war crimes: It is imperative that light be shed on these attacks.

Those responsible, whether decision-makers or executors, must be brought to justice to answer for their actions.

 

2. Severe sanctions against all those responsible for these atrocities: Nations and entities involved in these acts must be held accountable. The international community must act decisively to impose sanctions on all those who contribute to this tragedy.

 

3. Urgent humanitarian assistance for survivors: Those who survived these attacks need immediate support. Shelter, medical care, food and psychological support must be made available to them without delay.

 

4. The establishment of a protection zone for civilians: It is essential to establish safe zones where civilians, especially women and children, can be protected from the violence and bombs of Mali’s irresponsible army.

 

This area must be supervised by neutral international forces to guarantee the safety of the populations against abuses and genocide. Silence is no longer an option. Every minute of inaction contributes to the suffering of innocent people.

It is our duty, as an international community, to stand up against the atrocities perpetrated by the FAMA-Wagner couple in the Sahel.

 

What is happening in Tinzawatene is unacceptable, and we all have a role to play in putting an end to it.

Together, let's make our voices heard to demand justice for the victims of AZAWAD at the mercy of the bombs of the irresponsible Malian army.

 

SHARE THIS MESSAGE! MAKE YOURSELF HEARD! DEMAND JUSTICE AND HUMANITY!

Drone strikes on families in Tinzawatene in a refugee camp, on the border with Algeria, causing several deaths and several injuries, the majority of which are small children.

This August 25, 2024, drone strikes on families in Tinzawatene in a refugee camp, on the border with Algeria, causing several deaths and several injuries, the majority of which are small children.

 

Innocent people fleeing the executions of the Fama-Wagner couple and terrorist groups in the sole hope of surviving are unfortunately hit by Turkish drones that bomb them unjustly and only to please the incapable Malian army...

 

The children killed by turquoise drones today are orphans whose parents were cowardly killed by terrorist groups last year.

STOP THE MASSACRES IN THE SAHEL! NO TO THE SILENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!

 

Military juntas, Russia and Turkey must stop the bloodshed of the people of AZAWAD.

 

What cowards, the criminal (cannibal) regime of Mali, killing children is inhuman! This genocide of innocent civilian people in Azawad is a crime against humanity performed by the putschist military junta in Mali, AES and Wagner with the help of Turkey!!

Turkey are as guilty as the others. They are not ignorant of what Mali, Wagner and AES uses these drones for.

 

#STOP the genocide in Azawad!

#STOP the bombing of children.

#AES is committing criminal acts.

A father left his land to escape the massacres that targeted civilians. He seeks refuge until he reaches the extreme limits and is forced to live in refugee camps, but he is not spared by the Turkish marches. In the photo, he holds his son in his arms after he was killed in an aerial bombardment of the Turkish marches in the Tinzoaten camps.

This image - an engraved symbol of the aggression/oppression of the people of Azawad.


Details / Not long ago, the Ikhriban shopping complex, near the Algerian border, located on the bank of the Azawad, was the target of several airstrikes by a drone belonging to the Malian terrorist army.

 

The bombing targeted a modest medical clinic and its owner and another. person was martyred. As a result of the bombing, a number of children gathered and they did not realize the seriousness of the problem for them, which caused the drone to return and bomb them again.

 

The bombing left eleven people, mostly children. as confirmed by photos, and I cannot publish them because of the horror ... Among the victims were other nationalities, according to the testimony of some on the spot, that they were from Chad.

 

The bombing also left some injured, without knowing the number. yet.. This bombing is not the first of its kind, since the terrible defeat suffered by the Malian army and Wagner mercenaries during fierce fighting at the end of last month with the forces of the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of the Azawadi People, which made the border area close to Algeria a legitimate target of the Malian Air Force and targeting the defenseless civilian population under the pretext that the Azawad forces are stationed there.

 

The bombing, a few meters from Algerian territory, is also a message sent to Algeria by the putschist council of Mali and a military provocation. With this escalation, even the citizens of the Algerian border state are in danger.

Why is there selectivity in the global mobilization against the genocide of Palestinians and Azawadians?

 

Yesterday was #Children's_Day 😔

Why does the death of children from village families in the African desert not provoke the same agitation and global mobilization against the dictatorial government of Mali as when it comes to Palestinian children and their executioners?

 

It is the fault of the media, which endorses the official propaganda of the "war on terror" without really trying to find out who is fighting or dying in Azawad (indigenous territory annexed to Mali by colonial France), while drug and human trafficking and fundamentalist terrorism are real progress in this country?

 

What is hidden behind the death of innocent civilians in Azawad that keeps the West silent? Human rights only for some, West?

The Azawadian Diaspora in Europe is mobilizing to say No to the injustice suffered by our people.

Urgent: We launch a solemn appeal to the entire AZAWADIAN diaspora for a peaceful march in support of our peaceful populations driven from their homes by the satanic and terrorist couple of the Malian army and its Russian mercenaries of Wagner.

Terrorists who have neither faith nor law subject the people of Azawad to summary executions, arbitrary arrests and systematically ethnic supremacy on a daily basis.


We launch a cry from the heart to all activists and defenders of human rights to come and mobilize alongside us to denounce but also to reveal to the whole world the unprecedented barbarity of the satanic couple Fama-Wagner.

It is only in Azawad that people are killed and then undermined so that anyone who touches the civilian cadres will be one more victim.

It is only in Azawad that water towers and wells are poisoned so that humans and animals die as soon as they drink the poisoned water.

It is only in Azawad that the property of certain populations is plundered because of their skin color to be given as free gifts to other populations

It is only in Azawad that the corpses of civilians executed to death are held and eaten horribly.

The military juntas and their Wagner auxiliaries constitute the greatest danger for Africa in the same way as terrorists.

In short, we are launching a cry from the heart so that you come in large numbers to denounce these injustices and all this barbarity that has been affecting our people for several months.

Demonstration in Support of the People of Azawad, Aug 31, 2024. Place Darcy, Dijon, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.


As part of the youth of the Azawadian diaspora in EUROPE. We are organizing for the first time in Dijon a demonstration this Saturday, August 31 in Darcy.

 

On the one hand, to denounce the repression that the people of AZAWAD have been suffering for years by the Malian authorities always supported by foreign powers.

 

Especially the events of recent years where the people of Azawad have sacrificed for their self-determination and to learn their destiny in hand.

 

In 2015, peace agreements were signed in mediation by Algeria, a neighboring country, and the international community for a broad autonomy of the Azawad zone while keeping the central power for Bamako.

 

Except in the meantime, coups d'état have taken place and the latest is the current one of the Assimi Goita junta accompanied by Wagner's mercenaries, a militia classified as the most dangerous in the world.

 

In fact, the Bamako junta is repressing its own population in the south and has been systematically massacring the population of Azawad for over 3 years now, the majority of whom are women and children, etc.

 

On the other hand, as conscious, awakened and committed Azawadian youth in Dijon and elsewhere, we are launching an urgent appeal for all political and humanitarian organizations to act to support the Azawadian population and its independence movements in their dignified and humane struggle.

A land of Witchcraft with an Army of Cannibals

On February 16 Professor Babou Niang declared: "I solemnly declare as the supreme leader of African witchcraft and father of all the sorcerers of Africa that the war is over in Mali"

 

Now Mali is inaugurating a witchcraft teaching center at the gates of the capital #Bamako, worth half a billion CFA francs. The African Magical Education University was created under the auspices of the country's "higher authorities" to teach, disseminate and develop witchcraft on the African continent.


The opening ceremony was attended by witchcraft leaders from several African countries. The witchcraft announced their support for the government of Mali and that they will work to "strengthen African capacities" in the field of #witchcraft.

 

Ignorance is rampant.

Victims of Genocide Discovered

 

Tanynayte, on 18 Aug 2024.

The local authorities have confirmed the discovery of several partly buried bodies, victims of the genocidal violence performed by the terrorist duo the Malian Armed Forces and Wagner. 

Investigations and evidence gathered point to the #Wagner/Famas duo as the perpetrators.

People dissappear in Azawad... and later they might be found like this, partly buried in the desert.

But many murdered innocent civilian people will sadly most likely never be found. 

This (cannibalistic) putschist junta must be handed over to international justice.

The Turkish regime is a partner in killing innocent people in Azawad


Here is a short description of an article explained in the interest of the international readers since the article is in arabic and there is no french or portugese translation available. Further if one does not understand arabic you cannot even find the button to choose language, there is English and spanish for example. But this description is in our own Words.

 

By Selling their drones to the Malian putschist governement for their cannibal (with documented crimes) army to use together with the criminal Russian Wagner mercenairies on innocent civilian people in Azawad, they have become a partner in the genocide, and their hands are stained with the blood of Touaregs, Peuhls, Arabs and Songhais of Azawad. These turkish drones does not target terrorist groups, they target and hit civilians, animals and plants.

 


The Malian putschist regime are performing a calculated genocide to kill and to force the azawad (northern part of Mali) population out of their ancestral land so they can get control of the resources (gold, lithium, uranium, petrol etc), and for racistic reasons from the Malian side. They do this under the label of "killing terrorists" but in reality they don´t kill the terrorists in the area, they kill civilians, as well as animals - by drones, by poisoning the water, by cutting up camels etc.

 

By Selling drones to the Malian junta Turkey support a regime that violates human rights to an extent that reaches even eating their flesh which has been well documented in videos proven to be authentic. Further they constantly arrest innocent people, behead them and places their heads on their bodies which are rigged with explosives so that they cannot be buried. These crimes are also well documented.

 

Like the article, we will refer to text: "these practices reveal the state of cultural difference between the Azawad people and the Malians" (Source: ANF NEWS)

 

This culturual difference is, along with the marginalization and oppression they are suffering, one of the reasons, apart from the legal and just cause of wanting to get back their stolen land and get their independence, that the Azawad separatists are fighting for since 1963.

 

The Azawad separatist mouvements has over the past years played an important role in confronting terrorist organizations in the Azawad area.

Interview with Colonel Hamad-Rhissa, the man who won the Battle of Tinzawaten

By Contre-Poison August 16, 2024:

 

The Battle of Tinzawaten represents Wagner’s first major defeat on the African continent. From July 25 to 27, it pitted fighters from the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of Azawad (CSP-DPA) against mercenaries from the Russian paramilitary group Wagner and soldiers from the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa). Colonel Hamad Rhissa Ag Hamad-Assala, chief of staff of the Coordination of Azawad Movements, is the architect of this victory, the stakes of which extend far beyond West Africa. This exchange was translated from Tamashek.

 

Loup Viallet, Director of Contre-Poison – Many Tuareg and Fulani civilians have told me that since the departure of Barkhane and the arrival of Wagner, they have been undergoing a real ethnic cleansing. Is the Bamako junta, supported by Wagner’s elements, carrying out a purge of these populations in northern Mali? Did the departure of Barkhane precipitate this situation?

 

Colonel Hamad-Rhissa Ag Hamad-Assalah – Fighting the junta is a moral obligation for every Azawadian, whether civilian or military, whether armed or not. The junta brought in Wagner’s mercenaries with the aim of carrying out an ethnic cleansing of the Azawadians, as evidenced by the fact that all the cities attacked by the Malian Armed Forces and Wagner saw thousands of civilians killed and trapped in mines after their passage. The battle of Tinzawaten was the first battle between the CSP and the junta. Apart from that, they only killed Azawadian civilians who have no connection with the fighters.

 

The departure of the Barkhane force was organized by the Malian junta because Barkhane refused to do the dirty work of purging the communities of the North for the benefit of Bamako and categorically refused to wage war in place of the Malian army. Since then, they have dealt with Wagner, which is a recognized terrorist organization, so that it can proceed with the extermination of the populations of the North and the pillage of their property and resources. The junta pays them for this.


Last Friday, August 3, the Senegalese Minister of Foreign Affairs summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to Dakar for "apology for terrorism". The Ukrainian diplomat had reiterated his country's "unequivocal support" for those who defeated the Wagner and the Fama in Tinzawaten. Do you perceive the Senegalese government as an ally of the Bamako junta? What do you say to the Senegalese authorities who call you "terrorists"?

 

The Ukrainian ambassador is only defending his interests. Ukraine is at war with Russia and any person or organization that fights its enemies becomes its ally. The CSP issued a statement to ECOWAS, of which Senegal is a member. In the said statement, the CSP reminded ECOWAS that Mali withdrew from the said organization to found the AES. The ECOWAS statement in favor of Mali proves that this organization is not neutral.

 

Azawadians are West Africans just like Malians, Mali having committed more crimes than all. This proves that ECOWAS is a racist organization, calling Azawadians terrorists without worrying about Wagner's crimes.

 

The CSP-DPA claims the capture of about fifteen prisoners, including mercenaries from the Wagner group. What are their profiles? How are they treated? Do you plan to use them as bargaining chips?

 

When there is war, there are always human losses, but the CSP remains within the framework of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights. The CSP does not sell prisoners or exchange them for any interest unless there are interests for the people of Azawad, and Russia recognizes its wrong, namely having come to the Azawadians to fight them in the name of Mali for no reason.

 

The prisoners can be exchanged in exchange for the departure of Russian forces from Azawad forever. Otherwise, the CSP does not exchange prisoners for cash.

"Prisoners can be exchanged in exchange for Russian forces leaving Azawad forever"

 

Note by GSA: This sentence is apparently due to some comments by the Wagners, widely misunderstood. They thought it was based on fear (for them) when it was actually based on concern for Azawadian civilians. These unarmed civilians that Wagner terrorizes and murders with the fama (cannibal army) on the orders of the Malian putschist junta. But people who kill innocent civilians for money are probably not capable of understanding the concept of caring for a people.

 

Continuation:

In the aftermath of the battle of Tinzawaten, the spokesman for the GUR, the Ukrainian intelligence service, said on July 29, “the rebels received the necessary information, and not just information, that allowed a successful military operation against Russian war criminals.” What was the nature of the assistance provided by Ukraine? Did Ukraine help train your fighters? Did Kiev provide you with drones?

 

We are not aware of any assistance from Ukraine in terms of intelligence and drone support. The battle of Tinza was led by the CSP.

 

According to the Malian junta, the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (linked to Al-Qaeda) participated in the battles of Tinzawaten. Are they your allies?

The battle of Tinza was led by the Azawadians and won by them.

Second day of the battle. The CSP fighters surround Wagner and the FAMa who refused to lay down their arms.


On July 30, the President of the French Republic recognized Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara. Thus, the inviolability of borders is no longer a taboo for France, which seems ready to support the territorial claims of states that understand its interests. If you were in front of the President of the French Republic and the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, what would you have to say to them?

 

If there is an African country whose sovereignty must be recognized by France, it is Azawad. It is France that brought us together with Mali in the past and today, it is France that must separate us from Mali. This is our wish addressed to both France and the European Union, who are well aware of the realities that separate us from Mali.

 

What would you have to say to French and European public opinion? How should they feel concerned by your fight?

 

We are calling for the European Union to have a new look at the Azawadians, a people who have fought for many years for their freedom, and this since France united us with Mali without our agreement.

 

What France and the European Union have been looking for with Mali for so many years and have not found, namely good collaboration, security, mineral interests, the development of European companies, they will find it with the Azawadians.

 

Mali will never be able to give a guarantee on our territories and we will never stop fighting for our land. We ask partners who want to work on our soil to join us in supporting and creating a winning partnership in the future.

All eyes on Wagner: Seeing an entire unit destroyed and captured by Azawad separatists (Northern Mali) is the end of the myth of Wagner and the Africa Corps, an elite unit at the service of Russian foreign policy

The All Eyes On Wagner project investigates three areas: human rights violations, commercial activities and expansion vectors.

 

Seeing an entire unit destroyed and captured by the separatists of Northern Mali is the end of the myth of Wagner and Africa Corps, an elite unit serving Russia's foreign policy.

 

A possible intoxication campaign aimed at implicating the Ukrainian military intelligence services has been launched on Telegram. Even if contacts and possible small formations have taken place, convincing the public that the Ukrainian services are fighting alongside the Tuaregs would allow the Kremlin to lighten the weight of the recent defeat on Malian soil while complicating the Ukrainian diplomatic position.

 

The irritation of the Wagner and Africa Corps networks on social networks is obvious. Between the calls for a minute of silence, there is virulent criticism of the Malian Armed Forces, accused of having abandoned their Wagner allies when the situation turned to their disadvantage.

 

While Wagner and the Africa Corps will probably be forced to observe an operational pause and review their order of battle, the impact on the position of the Sahelian juntas towards their services and their confidence in the “Russian instructors” sent to support them remains to be assessed, especially at the price paid monthly.

 

Some Telegram channels, for example from the “Special Reconnaissance and Action Group” DHSRG “Rusich”, a Russian PMC operating in particular in Ukraine, openly propose to send elements to Mali to attempt an operation to free prisoners of war.

Tuaregs of Azawad threatened!

Tamazgha has published a statement denouncing the murderous practices of the Malian state and its mercenary partners in the Russian group Wagner.

Faced with the unbearable situation that the civilian populations of Azawad have been facing for several months in the total indifference of the international community, Tamazgha calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities and to break its silence in the face of war crimes and real ethnic cleansing.


Tuaregs of Azawad victims of abuses

 

DECLARATION

 

For several months, the civilian populations of Azawad (Tuaregs, Moors and Fulani) have suffered daily extrajudicial executions, kidnappings, disappearances, torture, theft, looting of property, destruction... These cruel acts are committed by the Russian militia of the Wagner group with soldiers of the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) as well as by jihadist groups.

 

Nomadic camps are bombed by the air force, face artillery or are targeted by strikes by Turkish-made drones made available to the Malian junta. FAMa soldiers and mercenaries of the Russian Wagner group kill indiscriminately, decapitating civilians and trapping their corpses. Even women and children are atrociously killed, often mutilated or decapitated.

 

It is worth recalling that since the beginning of the 1960s, in the aftermath of the birth of States created from scratch by colonial France, dividing the Tuareg territory between five borders, Mali has drowned the protests and the Tuareg uprising in blood by attacking civilians. Since then, the Tuaregs have never stopped acting to access their fundamental rights, sometimes by being forced to take up arms.


Tens of thousands of civilians have fled the atrocities to seek refuge in certain neighboring States. Which do not always provide them with the necessary welcome.

 

The Malian army and its partners from the Russian Wagner group are committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and even ethnic cleansing, given the targeting of their victims, without neighboring States or the international community reacting. A silence and an almost general indifference that must end.

 

The NGO Tamazgha, outraged by the dramatic situation experienced by the people of Azawad, strongly condemns the perpetrators of the atrocities, deplores the silence of neighboring states and the international community as well as the indifference of public opinion. It calls on human rights organizations to address this unbearable situation and to act to put an end to this criminal and murderous plan orchestrated by the Malian junta and its partners in the Russian group Wagner.

 

The world can no longer remain indifferent and silent in the face of crimes committed against unarmed civilians. We therefore appeal to independent international jurisdictions, in particular to the United Nations, to act to stop these crimes and prosecute their perpetrators who must not go unpunished.

 

We wish to assure our fellow Tuaregs of our full solidarity. We call for international solidarity with the people of Azawad who are subjected to horrible cruelty. We call on the Amazighs to mobilize where they are and by the means at their disposal so as not to abandon the populations of Azawad who are facing the murderous practices of the Malian army, Wagner's Russian mercenaries and the jihadists. Azawad, an integral part of the Amazigh Country, deserves our support and our mobilization.

 

Tamazgha wishes to assure its support and solidarity to the Tuaregs of Azawad who are fighting to defend their territory and populations, for their sovereignty and their dignity. This fight is that of the liberation of Tenere from these criminal States whose genocidal plan envisages the eradication of the Tuaregs.

 

It is understood that Tamazgha stands alongside the defenders of Freedom and Timmujgha, far from any obscurantist project out of step with the values ​​that we defend. In particular, those of the liberation of Tamazgha from macabre ideologies that have no other objective than the eradication of Amazighness by physical elimination or forced assimilation of the Amazighs.

 

Tamazgha,
Paris, August 15, 2024.



The crimes by Wagner in Azawad continues

On 08/14/2024, Wagner mercenaries committed a new crime in the town of Imngele, located 45 km northeast of the city of Gao, where they executed residents and arrested 6 others.

They looted stores after breaking down their doors, as well as fuel for cars.

#Sahel: My dear compatriots, we Jamaicans are finishing our fight against the cancerous union of putschists called the #AES.

 

08-15-24


There is a terrible aggression by Mali against Azawad, its land, people and identity, and a great betrayal by neighbors, brothers and international justice.

The innocent people of Azawad have been marginalized and isolated for a long time since 1963 in their ancestral lands.


It is absolutely unacceptable for #Wagner to help the illegal #putschists carry out ethnic cleansing in the Sahel region in disregard of international law.


FOR THE WORLD TO SEE!

This man, a young Fulani, originally from Azawad, was killed, horribly cut up and eaten... yes, eaten!! by members of the #Malian (#cannibal) #military #junta #Famas.

 

This is not news, it happened in July 2024. A video circulated on social media, then a few days later, 3 more arrived (two very brutal ones from Burkina Faso) and they went viral on all social media and were also reported by several international and national media.

 

The most horrible and disgusting videos you can imagine, which were later deleted due to their brutality, violated social media standards. We have all seen them and can testify that they are real.

 

The videos have been reviewed and found to be authentic, filmed by the soldiers themselves, who filmed these horrific scenes and then sent the videos to their units to glory in this crime.

 


The video is authentic even if it is not new, but that does not matter since it shows cannibalistic practices in Mali that have obviously been hidden for a long time.

 

The detractors then tried to label the young Fulani killed as a terrorist to justify this cannibalistic crime, while several other sources stated that he was an innocent farmer. In any case, this in no way justifies #cannibalism, by anyone, and certainly not by a national army.

 

A putschist national army that tried to cover it up by pretending that it was an "isolated event" ... opening an "investigation" to find the culprits and punish them to clear its own reputation which is seriously tarnished. It also naturally damages even further the already bad reputation of the criminal mercenaries #Wagner who, for money, work with this criminal putschist junta. But no matter what they say, their crimes are recorded and all their crimes (with the help of Wagner mercenaries) against the civilian population of Azawad reach the skies!

 

Moreover, many Malians did not show resentment towards these scenes, as we have seen in most of their comments, and these practices are apparently an old habit for them (eating the flesh of their enemies). Even if the army had to face the necessary popular opposition, denunciation and rejection. But this did not happen, and it is unlikely that it will happen, and the best that could be, is a request not to film these practices and publish them, but rather to do them in the greatest secrecy. As was the case during the colonial decades.

 

There is more to read about this further down on this blog.

If you are against injustice, if you are against the genocide suffered by the populations in Azawad (Northern Mali)

If you are against injustice, if you are against the genocide that the Tuareg populations of Azawad (Northern Mali) are suffering. Join the movement. Like and share this letter so that the whole world is informed of this sad reality.

 

Dear friends from all over the world,

Today, I would like to share with you the fascinating story of the Tuaregs of Azawad, a courageous and resilient people who are struggling to preserve their cultural identity.

 

Imagine a nomadic people, the “blue men of the desert”, who have crossed generations preserving their ancestral traditions, their captivating music and their unique way of life. Unfortunately, they face challenges and oppression that threaten their very existence.

 

Azawad, their ancestral land, is the scene of a heartbreaking conflict that has left thousands of Tuaregs displaced, wounded to the depths of their souls, not to mention thousands of dead.

 

Imagine military planes bombing civilians. Imagine poisoned wells in a territory where access to water is a privilege. They are hunted down and deprived of their fundamental rights on their land under the complicit gaze of the entire world.

 

We cannot remain indifferent to their situation. It is time to unite and support the Tuaregs in their quest for justice, peace and recognition of their cultural identity.

 

How can we act? First, we must share this story with the world. Let us use social networks, the media and all the platforms at our disposal to draw attention to this situation and mobilize concrete actions.

 

Together, we can make a difference. Let us support the Tuaregs of Azawad in their fight to preserve their culture and identity. They deserve our solidarity and support.

 

Thank you for being a valuable ally in this cause. Together, we can make their voices heard.

This message must go around the world.

 

MKA

GSA (Azawad Support Group) Note; The population of Azawad that is suffering this genocide (orchestrated by the Malian junta that hires the Russian mercenaries Wagner) is not only made up of Toaregs, but also of Peuls, Arabs and Songhais.

ECOWAS is nothing but an incompetent and racist organization to the same extent as Mali

For how long has the terrorist army of Mali and its Wagner mercenaries systematically led ethnic supremacy by executing Arab, Fulani, and Tuareg civilians while the incompetent organization has never said a word.

 

In a press release, ECOWAS publicly reveals its infernal racism towards certain Africans just because they are white and had the courage to die for honor, dignity and freedom by facing foreign cannibalists.

 

"We do not negotiate our existence with enemies from elsewhere, but we resist them until happy days" and that is what the blue men did, it seems to me?

 

In this press release, ECOWAS proves its efficiency and justice and in its management of the political conflicts of the peoples who compose it by positioning itself, and even going beyond by favoring one party to the detriment of the other.

Azawad will be a well-developed country more than its neighbors, because it is a real Sahrawi people originating from the desert and not a country made neither by Gaddafi nor by Algeria nor by France nor by the Emirates.

A country born from the suffering and historical colonial injustices. #Azawad

 

Z.T 08-13-24


Azwadians are being killed by all these terrorist elements: Malian terrorist army, Russian mercenaries terrorist Wagner, terrorist ISIS, terrorist Al-Qaeda, etc. This has increased their insistence on their just cause and the defense of their right to exist as a people with their own land that they want, like the rest of the free peoples of the world.

We are about to expel all mercenaries, Malian terrorists, ISIS or Al-Qaeda from our homeland, Azawad. Azawad for Azawadians!!

 

Mahfouz Ag Adnane


We water this country with our blood.

We will not surrender to Russian, Emirati, or Turkish interference. We will remain steadfast and demand only separation, just like the rest of the peoples.


From an Azawad military commander.

#Tinzawaten: The Bamako Junta is more interested in populist brilliance than in reasons of state

After the events of July 25, 26 and 27, the Defense Council gathered around the leader of the Bamako putschists:

 

1. No longer finds enough soldiers immediately ready to compose a land convoy towards Tinzawaten;

 

2. Several operational and tactical level officers no longer support being in servitude of morally beaten mercenaries and preferred targets of the adversaries;

 

3. At a time when Tinzawaten has become the subject of a populist campaign in the capitals of the AES, other places closer to the major military centers of the putschists no longer close any eyes;

 

4. The drone actions do not produce any motivating military results for the mercenaries who came for the trigger-happy bonuses and who want to celebrate the upcoming New Year's Eve with their families;

 

5. The General Staff is very keen to sacrifice officers as scapegoats for the rout but risks creating a strong dissension between the 5 puppet colonels;

 

6. The officers who are members of the Defense Council around the Bamako coup leader are mostly upset to discover that the real Defense Council is being held elsewhere in parallel without them or their opinions;

 

7. A few rare officers continue to insist on even just an aerial arrival of a few moments in Tinzawaten, the time to film a rise of colors and find a reason for strategic withdrawal. They are based on the idea that the supporters in Bamako are on a pan-Africanist standby. Tinzawaten, the most cited city in the #world for 2 weeks and whose stones and soil absorb drone strikes without effect.

 

Attaye Ag Mohamed.

How beautiful is victory!
How ugly it is for your opponent to be a coward.
How beautiful it is for your opponent to be certain of your forgiveness when you are capable of it.
How ugly it is to fight someone who has no goal.

Wagner and the Malian army loot people's stores in Azawad

A video found in the phones recovered from the dead or prisoners of #Wagner in which members of the Malian armed forces and mercenaries of #Wagner captured or killed during the fighting in Tinzawatene are formally identified and has been made public.

 

It shows members of Wagner and the Malian army during their last visit to Intuiké stealing the goods of innocent people after killing them. These soldiers speak Russian and Bambara. Among them was Ibrahim Sidibé, a warrant officer in the Malian army taken prisoner by the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of the People of Azawad; CSP-DPA. The video shows him in captivity and trying to deny his involvement in the hostilities against civilians by saying that everything is "Wagner". But he was seen in the video carrying a cardboard box stolen from a store on his way to Tinzawatene.

 

Their false statements that they are working to "secure the populations and their property" ... are clearly not what we can see in this video. They are shameless lies.


The series of crimes by the #Mali army and #Wagner's mercenaries never stops. In addition to ethnic cleansing, genocide, cremation and mistreatment of bodies, and even the consumption of human flesh of the inhabitants of Azawad, they steal the provisions of the poor nomadic families.

 

The irony of seeing an institution supposed to embody republican values ​​turning into an instrument of plunder, stripping the already poor populations of their assets. This is the only thing that Mali and Wagner's mercenaries know how to do. They steal the property of a people.

 

Shame on the Malian Armed Forces and their Russian Wagner auxiliaries. Shame on them for stealing from the people of Azawad!

 

08-10-24


THE EVIDENCE IS ALWAYS IN THE RESULT

According to the latest press release from the CSP_DPA, it is stated that "The CSP-DPA wishes to clarify that its forces on a mission to protect displaced civilian populations settled in Tinzawatene were deliberately attacked and defended themselves against a horde of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group accompanied by elements of the army of the Malian military junta.

 

The CSP-DPA is surprised that countries and organizations sufficiently immersed in the political issue that opposes it to the central authorities in Bamako, for having been members of the international mediation within the framework of the obsolete Agreement resulting from the Algiers process, display such ignorance or such denial of reality to the point of describing its legitimate forces as "terrorists"

 

There has recently been an increase by Mali (and the AES) of accusations of the Azawad separatists of being described as "terrorists" which is false and misleading. They even went so far as to break off diplomatic relations with Ukraine, which they now describe as a "terrorist state" because of its favorable attitude towards Azawad, with which they have a common enemy.


It is also worth noting that it was Mali that broke the Algiers Peace Agreement, signed in 2015. The text has been violated by Mali several times since its signing. The Malian putschist junta declared the end of the 2015 Algiers Agreement with the Azawad separatists on January 25, 2024. This clearly shows that they are not interested in finding a peaceful solution.

 

They want a genocide of the people of Azawad, of all its inhabitants and of all forms of life in Azawad. So, what is the difference between a separatist and a terrorist?

 

TERRORISM AND SEPARATISM ARE SEPARATE CONCEPTS

Nationalist separatism refers to political movements that seek to separate a territory from a state. Terrorism involves the use of violence to achieve certain political goals. Nationalist separatism does not inherently lead to terrorism, as there is no direct cause and effect between the two. Terrorist motivations can range from the pursuit of a mission inherited from previous generations to religious fundamentalism.

 

SEPARATISM IS THE DESIRE FOR INDEPENDENCE AND SELF-DETERMINATION OF NATIONAL OR ETHNIC GROUPS.

It usually involves a claim to a specific territory and the intention to secede from a larger state. There are several well-known examples of separatist movements around the world, including Basque separatism in Spain, Kurdish separatism in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, Tamil separatism in Sri Lanka, Tuareg separatism in Mali and Niger, Quebec separatism in Canada, etc.

 

Example: The Azawad fighters and the Azawadian people want to reclaim their ancestral land and separate it from Mali, with whom for 60 years they have suffered nothing but marginalization, oppression and cruel genocide targeted against the civilian population. Even to the point of cannibalism by the Malian army. And secondly, with whom they have never had anything in common, in terms of culture, religion, way of life, etc.


THEY WERE FORCED TOGETHER IN A "MARRIAGE" AGAINST THEIR WILL BY FRANCE AFTER COLONIALIZATION, WHEN IT CREATED THE STATE OF MALI. (AMONG OTHER THINGS) BY CREATING ARTIFICIAL BORDERS DIVIDING THE TERRITORY OF AZAWAD INTO FIVE STATES WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION FOR THE FACT THAT PEOPLE LIVED THERE, AND BY DIVIDING THE TERRITORY, BRINGING TOGETHER PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, RELIGIONS AND LIFESTYLES.

 

OF COURSE THE TOUAREGS REBELLED!!


Azawadian separatists do not go around terrorizing and killing civilians like the Fama and Wagner of the Malian army do. This is why the CSP_PDA are wrongly called by some as "terrorists", but in reality they are separatists fighting for a legal cause. They do not fight, unlike Wagner for example, for money, they only fight for the total independence of the State of Azawad.

TERRORISM IS "ORGANIZED VIOLENCE THAT DELIBERATELY TARGETS CIVILIANS AND AIMS TO INFLAME FEAR IN A POPULATION FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES"

Terrorism is an act of violence intentionally perpetrated against non-combatant civilians in order to advance an ideological, religious or political goal - such as genocide.

Like the genocide that Mali with the help of Wagner (described as terrorist by some countries) is committing against unarmed civilians in Azawad, supported by the AES, and with the help of Turkey via the use of Turkish drones killing entire families, etc.

THE EVIDENCE IS ALWAYS IN THE RESULT.

 

What is the result of the Azawadian army?

 

- They are fighting for a noble and legal cause. They are trying to save the civilian populations from being massacred only because they are Azawadians. They are fighting against genocide and racism, they are fighting against the marginalization and oppression of their people. They are not killing the civilian populations.

 

What is the result of the Malian putschist government (this state once created by France with land stolen from Azawad) with its military junta (cannibal) and its hired mercenaries Wagner?

 

- They kill innocent civilian populations under the cover of calling them "terrorists", they burn their homes and lands, they poison their animals, they kill the elderly, the sick, women and children, they arrest teenagers who did nothing but walk down the street in front of their homes, and then they kill them by beheading, they burn people alive, they kill people with drones, they destroy their businesses and livelihoods and they even eat them.

 

These crimes, which have recently been broadcast and depicted in gruesome videos of dismemberment of corpses and real cannibalism, are being perpetrated by African fighters in Mali and Burkina Faso, and they themselves have published these videos. In short, this is a genocide targeting the Tuaregs, the Fulanis, the Arabs and other Azawadians.

 

So the question is: who is the real terrorist? Who is terrorizing people? Who is killing unarmed civilians?

 

THIS IS THE ONE THAT MUST BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE TERRORIST.

Sweden has decided to suspend its aid to Mali following the country's decision to break off diplomatic relations with | Ukraine. This means that 20,000,000 euros (30,000,000,000 FCFA) per year are being lost from the Malian budget.

 

The government has decided to close the Swedish embassies in Bamako (Mali) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). In order to continue effective engagement in the Sahel and West Africa, the government has also decided to launch a process to establish a new embassy in Dakar (Senegal). The closures are expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

The new embassy in Dakar is expected to open in 2025, and Sweden is in dialogue with Senegal on the conditions for this opening. You cannot support Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine while receiving several hundred million crowns in development aid each year. The government has therefore decided to gradually end Sweden's bilateral aid strategy with Mali in 2024.

The Swedish Ambassador in Bamako has received notification to leave Malian territory within 72 hours, following the hostile statement by her Minister of International Cooperation and Trade on Mali.

Press release No.: 09/BE/CSP-DPA/2024
Regarding the respective statements of Senegal and ECOWAS regarding the clashes in Tinzawatene on 25, 26 and 27 July.

 

THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE
-----------------------

Press release N°: 09/BE/CSP-DPA/2024

Relating to the respective declarations of Senegal and ECOWAS regarding the clashes in Tinzawatene on July 25, 26 and 27.

 

The CSP-DPA followed with much incomprehension and questioning the chain reactions relating to the clashes in Tinzawatene on 25, 26 and 27 July, in particular those of the authorities of Senegal and ECOWAS who condemned without preconceptions an "attack against the Malian armed forces".

 

The permanent strategic framework for the defense of the people of Azawad from the signatory movements of the former Algiers agreement, is a political-military organization whose main mission is to defend the rights and interests of the people of Azawad. It refutes and denounces any malice tending to tax it or confuse it with other actors or formations with divergent ideologies in the Machiavellian design of sullying its legitimate struggle for the benefit of the LEGAL AND POLITICAL STATUS OF AZAWAD.

 

The CSP-DPA wishes to clarify that its forces on a mission to protect displaced civilian populations settled in Tinzawatene were deliberately attacked and defended themselves against a horde of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group accompanied by elements of the army of the Malian military junta.

 

The CSP-DPA is surprised that countries and organizations sufficiently immersed in the political issue that opposes it to the central authorities in Bamako, for having been members of the international mediation within the framework of the outdated Agreement resulting from the Algiers process, display such ignorance or denial of reality to the point of labeling its legitimate forces as terrorists.

 

However, the CSP-DPA remains available to collaborate to provide more information on this situation to any state or organization that wishes it.

 

The CSP-DPA regrets the silence of the international community, particularly that of African States and organizations, in the face of all the serious crimes committed against civilians by international mercenaries employed by the Bamako putschists. A practice legally and morally attributable to this junta and its allies, which, if not condemned, contributes to the perpetuation of insecurity and instability in the region.

 

The CSP-DPA recalls that by refraining from condemning the ethnic cleansing deliberately carried out by the Bamako junta and Wagner's Russian mercenaries against certain targeted communities in Azawad and central Mali, the States and organizations that condemn its actions in self-defense are unequivocally giving moral support to Wagner's presence in the Sahel and, by extension, a blank cheque for the extrajudicial executions of unarmed populations.

 

The CSP-DPA strongly expects Senegal, ECOWAS and all those who want to campaign for peace and social justice to work to put out the fire between the people of Azawad and the Bamako junta in order to save the lives of innocent civilians, failing which, to refrain from making statements with partisan connotations.

 

Needless to say, the CSP-DPA went to war against the coalition forces of the Malian Junta Army and Russian mercenaries of the Wagner group after they had driven out MINUSMA, violated the Agreement for Peace and National Reconciliation resulting from the Algiers process before declaring its lapse by attacking its positions. This data must not be ignored or forgotten by any actor, especially the actors involved in the process from the beginning.

 

To our brother country Senegal, a state with an inspiring democracy and which has had the merit of contributing to MINUSMA through a strong crop of senior military and political officials, we ask for a better analysis of the situation in order to avoid contributing to the confusion maintained to the detriment of peace in the sub-region.

 

Finally, the CSP-DPA reminds ECOWAS that it would be more in its role to work to force the Bamako junta to quickly return to a normal constitutional order, to release political prisoners and prisoners of conscience and to rid the country of the mercenaries of the Wagner group instead of supporting it in its momentum of contempt for democracy, confiscation of freedoms and abject violations of human rights.

Hundreds of heavily armed Libyan Tuaregs are heading towards #Azawad to support their brothers facing ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the racist junta in #Mali, #Niger and #BurkinaFaso

They came from beyond the seas to Azawad which is not their land, to kill, violate and plunder the civilian poupulation, women, Children, teenagers, men, and elderly nomads who only are peaceful, even the animals they killed, even the trees...

But they received from the Azawadian army what they deserved, and by the grace of God, they trampled their foreheads.

 

#FreeAzawad

More than 70 Russians gathered on Sunday near the Kremlin to pay tribute to Wagner mercenaries killed in a major battle against the Azawad Armed Forces (CSP-DPA). This is one of the group's deadliest defeats in Africa.

Tears shed over the fate of the Azawadians are not enough to quench their thirst for justice. 

Only unwavering unity and unfailing resilience will enable them to rise from the ashes and regain their honor. 

As for the international community, it must stop contenting itself with compassionate words and take concrete action alongside the Azawadian people, so that these populations can finally live in peace and dignity.

Calls for international investigation into horrific crimes in Azawad (northern Mali)


Here is an article from Sky news Arabia which in a report sourced from Kal Akal talks about the genocide and the atrocities that the malian governement with the help of the Russian mercenairies Wagner are doing to the civilian and defensless people of Azawad. The original article is only in arabic and there is no translator option on the page and therefore parts of the article is translated in the interest of the fact that it´s important that the World can read and see what is happening in Azawad.


Calls for international investigation into 'horrific crimes' in Azawad/northern Mali


The Observatory for the Defense of Human Rights of the Azawad People (Kal Akal) addressed in a report the monthly violations against the people of the Azawad region committed by the Malian army and Wagner forces.

 

It described July as a "bloody and destructive month", as widespread cases of human rights violations were recorded throughout the Azawad region, with increasing pressure in the Kidal region, through targeting civilians, infrastructure and the local economy.


Documenting killing and rape


"Kal Akal", which means "people of the land", said in a statement obtained by Sky News Arabia, that units of the Malian army and the Wagner Group carry out incursions into camps and pastoral water points to commit random executions, often ending in beheadings and rape.


It added: "Animals are also killed randomly in the pastures, and sometimes taken for use as food or for resale, and even women's scarves, household utensils and other items are seized," according to the statement issued on Thursday evening.


The organization also reported that it had seen documents attributed to the Wagner Group, alleging that the Malian military junta gave the group the freedom to cleanse Azawad of its indigenous population in exchange for access to natural resources.


By intervening to investigate crimes and violations that the Malian army and Wagner forces were accused of committing in the Azawad region in the north of the country. The organizations announced documenting the killing of dozens of civilians during the month of July, and dozens of women being raped by those forces, their belongings stolen, and their homes destroyed.


During July, the organization recorded 116 deaths, all of them unarmed civilians who were arrested from their homes or met by Wagner and the Malian army on the road, or around water points to water their animals, and were executed en masse or individually. Cases of beheadings and burned bodies were also documented, in addition to mass graves.


The statement also revealed that dozens of girls had been raped, including a woman being raped and her elderly husband being killed, a Malian soldier raping a married woman in a camp for displaced persons in Lelehoui-Afod (Ansongo), and other incidents.


The organization called on the international community, especially human rights organizations, to assume their responsibilities in the context of the targeted genocide, which is taking place openly with confirmed support from Wagner, and to ensure that those who participate and contribute to the extrajudicial executions of civilians do not escape punishment.


It also called on humanitarian organizations and charitable organizations to provide assistance to refugees and displaced persons, who have already been suffering for a year.


Gold Mine Massacre


In turn, the International Organization for Justice and Transparency (IMOHAG) condemned the bombing of the "In Tayar" area, which is home to a group of gold mines and which houses large groups of African workers whose livelihood depends mainly on what they extract from these mines, by a drone strike that killed dozens of workers in the area and displaced thousands of them towards the Algerian border.


A statement issued by the organization on Wednesday, a copy of which was obtained by Sky News Arabia, said that the site was subjected to a humanitarian disaster as a result of the airstrikes in which a drone was used to target gatherings of African workers, leaving at least 100 dead and dozens injured, most of whom were of Nigerian, Chadian and Burkinabe nationality.


The statement added: "This bombing caused great panic and the migration of thousands of Africans to Algerian territory, which could herald a serious humanitarian disaster."


The organization described this act as "criminal and a war crime punishable by international law," and called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities related to protecting defenseless civilians, holding those responsible for this crime accountable, and banning the sale of weapons."

 

Warning of a trap


The Niger-based human rights organization MID also called on the country's authorities not to get involved in what is happening in Mali and to create a link between all the rebellions in the Sahara Desert in the north.


It called on the international community and Algeria, which understands and always follows the situation of the Tuaregs in the region, to intervene with the international and Russian federal authorities to resolve the Tuaregs' problem in the sub-region once and for all to avoid sliding into an endless war.


A statement issued by the organization on Thursday said: "We offer our unwavering support and solidarity to the innocent people of Azawad, who have been marginalized and isolated for a long time since 1963 in their ancestral lands.


It is absolutely unacceptable for Wagner to help the illegal putschists carry out ethnic cleansing in the Sahel region in disregard of international law."

 

International investigation


In turn, the head of the "Kal Akal" organization, Daoud Ak Badi, says that "his organization has been working for some time to document the violations committed by the Malian army and Wagner forces, and we prepare monthly reports on the violations and have a wide range of correspondents in various Azawad regions, documenting most of the violations that occur in the region."


Ak Badi added to the "Sky News Arabia" website that "the Malian army and Wagner rely on a strategy of intimidation, committing atrocities, brutal killing, beheading, emptying bodies, looting money, and destroying shops, and they do not leave anything to terrorize the poor people to emigrate or flee with their skins."


He revealed that "the organization documented these violations in the belief that the day will come when those responsible will be brought to trial for these crimes."

TINZOUATIN:
DISPLACED AZAWADIAN REFUGEES NEED HELP


Part of the campaign to collect and distribute aid and assistance to the displaced and forcibly displaced people from the Azawad region, which was launched by the "Noor Al-Yateem Association Tin Zouatin" and volunteered by some of Tinza's best young people. The campaign, although modest, covered several areas with concentrations of displaced people on the outskirts of the municipality [In Adak, Tin Alhoua, Daf Bouchrail, In Teknis] as well as some displaced people within the municipality. 

 

Despite all the efforts made, the scarcity of aid in the face of the large number of displaced families caused us great embarrassment, as hundreds of families remained unsupplied. After running out of bags, which amounted to more than 200. Therefore, do not deprive yourself of this great good, and I remind you of the urgent need for your contribution, with food, tents and mattresses, to minimize the consequences of this humanitarian disaster by all standards.

 

Finally, I must extend my sincere thanks, gratitude and appreciation to all those who contributed to silencing every hungry stomach, however few, through this campaign, especially the Noor Al-Yateem Association for taking this initiative, the Algerian security and civil authorities, for their efforts in facilitating and facilitating this goodness, the honorable merchants of the region, and all donors, even if they donate a small amount of a date. 

 

Especially women, who are always in the forefront of goodness. This campaign would not have succeeded without their generosity and help, the youth of Tinza, who do not lack energy, but only in what they give. 

 

May Allah give every spender a successor. Amen.

Report on the historic victory of the Battle of Tinzawatane by the CSP DPA fighters.

These clashes between its forces and this problematic terrorist alliance by the Bamako Military Council with a cunning purpose of ethnic cleansing aimed at discharging Azawad from its indigenous population and control its natural resources, have been carried out entirely by Azawad from start to finish, confirms the CSP-DPA. 

 

However, the CSP-DPA extends its hand in all fields with everyone who wishes, people or state, to confront the barbaric Wagner terrorism to end this scourge. CSP-DPA dedicates this glorious and glorious victory to its brave fighters to all the victims of this criminal organization in the world.

 

In addition, CSP-DPA condemns unreservedly bombing of dugout and displaced civilians in Tenzawatin by Burkina drones which led to the killing of more than fifty (50) people of Nigerian, Sudanese and Chadian descent to avenge the defeat of the Finance Army and Wagner. Based on it, the CSP-DPA warns the Burkini Military Council against interfering outside its borders in a civil dispute should bear all its consequences. 


Finally CSP DPA calls on brother financial people to rise to get rid of military council they cooperate with less.

A SERIOUS HUMANITARIAN DISASTER IS APPROACHING

 

A serious humanitarian disaster as a result of the airstrike carried out by the Malian army (cannibals) and its Burkinabe ally in the "In Tayar" region yesterday, Tuesday. This disaster will flood the southern Algerian border and Libya with thousands of migrants. Thousands of African migrants who were working in the gold mines in the Azawad region have poured in. The countries of the northern region must cooperate and take bold decisions to stop the coup regimes in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, who are dragging the region into security and economic risks that do not exclude anyone.

The truth is painful and keeping silent about it is killing. The world's silence about what is happening in Azawad is a kind of participation in it.

Mahfouz Ag Adnane


The Azawad Political Forum has learned with deep regret and sadness that the Malian army and Wagner mercenaries carried out an airstrike on a gold mine in the "In Attayara" area of the vilage of Tin Zawatine on the border with Algeria, which resulted in:

- About 50 gold prospectors from Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Nigeria and Sudan were killed.

- Four prospectors were injured.

- Three prospectors’ cars were destroyed.

- Several equipments used to extract gold and food at the site of the raid were destroyed.

 

In light of this great loss, the Azawad Political Forum expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of these indiscriminate air raids that targeted unarmed civilians, which are considered a humanitarian crime against civilians.

 

The Forum also calls on relevant international organizations and parties to condemn the crimes committed by the Malian army and Wagner mercenaries on a daily basis and bring the responsible to justice, those crimes are considered as genocide against some Azawad communities in order to change the demographic composition of the region, their nomadic way of life and legitimate and ancestral property of local natural reseurces.


THE VICTORY IN TINZAOUATIN OVER WAGNER 

BELONGS TO THE AZAWADIAN ARMY.

The world rejoiced over the great victory won by the #Azawad army against the Russian #Wagner, the greatest defeat in the history of Wagner in Africa.

Now Europe is trying through the media to attribute the #Azawad victory to #Ukraine. These false assumptions come first from the largest and most famous international newspaper, the British Guardian, which was the source of the allegations circulating that Ukraine is behind the #Azawad victory, which in reality is not the case at all.

You must give Azawad what belongs to Azawad, people!

According to one rebel commander, "exchanges" are indeed taking place with Ukrainian intelligence services to see how they can cooperate in the future. "We have links with the Ukrainians, but just as we have with everyone else, the French, Americans and others," said a spokesman for the CSP-DPA Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane.


Communiqué No.: 07/BE/CSP-DPA/2024

 

The CSP-DPA Permanent Strategic Framework condemns in the strongest terms the bombing carried out by a Turkish drone of the Burkinabe authorities, which exclusively targeted civilians among migrants working at the artisanal gold mining site in Tinzaouatine on July 30, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries among people coming from Niger, Sudan, Chad and other countries of the West African region.

 

With this grave mistake, the AES Sahel, after a summit of leaders of the recently-reigning countries, is carrying out its first operations against its own citizens fleeing the misery of their countries in search of a better life. This attack against civilians demonstrates the continued chaos and the failure of the military to manage these countries.

 

The CSP-DPA points out to the coup authorities in Burkina Faso that they have no interest in being dragged into an internal conflict far from them and that would make them complicit in the massacres of civilians in Azawad.

 

The CSP-DPA calls on the Turkish authorities to reconsider their policy of providing drones to coup states led by failed military juntas, which are used to massacre civilians and destroy infrastructure.

 

The CSP-DPA launches an urgent appeal to independent international judicial bodies and human rights organizations to address these war crimes and crimes against humanity targeting civilians based on their political affiliations and choices, in order to ensure that their perpetrators do not escape punishment.

 

The CSP-DPA extends its deepest condolences to the families of all innocent victims and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.

 

The CSP-DPA, on the other hand, confirms that none of its units were affected by the bombing, contrary to the propaganda spread by the military government in Bamako.

The Azawad Army treat their prisoners with dignity and humanity.

Photo 1 - The Azawad freedom fighters/separatists have good reason to rejoice at the massacre of the #aes population in Tinzawatan following the various drone strikes, but no, they are civilized and cultured human beings to commit such acts.

They go and help the survivors instead.

Photo 2 - The Azawad freedom fighter leader with the Wagner hostages and the Malian army soldiers, the Russian Wagner hostages and the Malian army soldiers are very well treated. The Azawadien Tuareg rebels are truly dignified and human.

It's this humanity that honors the Kel Tamacheq/Tuareg. Pious men of tradition.

The Azawad army's fight is for a noble cause and hurting anyone is not an objective in itself for them.

The Azawadian movements deny any Ukrainian support in their battle against Wagner

The representative of the Coordination of Azawad National Movements, Sayed Ben Bella El Fardi, denied what was reported by the media about the Ukrainian intelligence supporting the Azawadis in their battle against the Wagner militias and the Malian army. El Fardi said in a special statement to Sky News Arabia: "Some fabricated pictures of individuals carrying the Ukrainian flag next to the movement's fighters have recently spread. Many of these pictures are fabricated, and there is absolutely no truth to Ukrainian military cooperation with us. What happened on the recent battlefield between "Tinzawaten" and "Ashbrish and Ikhraban" is a 100% national Azawad effort."

 

Sayed Ben Bella Al-Fardi, says that the victory over the Malian forces and Wagner will not be the last. The coming days and weeks will be full of events, and despite the large difference in equipment and gear that favors the opponents, the forces affiliated with the Azawad movements were able to achieve victory in the battle.

 

Al-Fardi added to the "Sky News Arabia" website that what he described as "the injustice of the Russians and their financial supporters and their assault on people's honor and property and their displacement in the deserts" at this very hot time made the fighters desperately defend the last point near the Algerian border, where the largest number of Azawad citizens fleeing "the brutality and brutality of the Russians in Menaka, Gao and Kidal" have gathered for months, as he put it.

 

He continued: "The morale of the Azawad fighters is very high, and what happened is a historic victory for the Azawad resistance against a force the size of Russia."

Tinzawatin:

On 07/30/2024, Bayraktar TB² drone strikes carried out 5 strikes, including one on the Ekhariban refugee site, the other 3 on the Inatiyara gold mining site, #Kidal region, plus Nigerian gold miners from Maradi, Chadians and Sudanese killed and wounded and the 5th strike against an abandoned armored vehicle.

The cowardice of these military forces preferring to attack defenseless civilians rather than confront the Azawad fighters (CSP-DPA) in a fair and courageous manner is appalling.


Mali responds to its battlefield defeats by bombing civilians in private cars in Tinezouatin.

 

Forty Nigerian Hausas were killed in the bombings, and the wounded have not yet been counted. The Hausas have nothing to do with the conflict. They have traveled thousands of kilometers to provide for their families in unimaginable poverty, and anyone who has lived and been around the Hausas knows how kind and innocent they are, similar to the innocence of children.

We count on God and the grace of the vicar.

Azawad gold.. the secret behind Wagner mercenaries taking battles to the Algerian border.

Azawad in Mali: A new genocide sponsored by the Russian Wagner.

Wagner booby traps bodies after killing them and encourages the Malian army to commit the most heinous crimes.

Identity erasure.. murder.. torture.. terrorizing...

 

Here is an article by Akhbar Alaan with statements by Sayed Ben Bella Al-Fardi, an Azawadi researcher in history and civilization, and a specialist in security affairs in Mali and the Sahel region. The article is only in Arabic and so we have taken the liberty of translating some important parts of the article for the benefit of international readers. The rest of the article, you may use Google Translate to translate the entire article on the site.

 

The article explains that Tinzawaten is a gold-bearing region and that the Russians have been targeting the gold-rich cities of Azawad since the beginning of their cooperation with the Malian army. The primary objective of Wagner's mercenaries is gold and silver by any means and at any price.

 

The people of Azawad include ethnicities different from dark-skinned Africans, as the Azawad region included Arab, Tuareg, Fulani, and Songhai tribes, and was politically subject to the Moroccan royal throne until 1893.

 

Recently, many videos have circulated in which Malian army fighters boasted about the war crimes they committed against Azawad by seizing cities and emptying them of their inhabitants in order to change the demographics of the wealthy areas that are in the Azawad lands.

 

Regarding these crimes, Ben Bella says: “These crimes, represented by videos of dismemberment of corpses and cannibalism, which have recently spread, this type is perpetrated by African fighters in Mali and Burkina Faso, and they publish the videos themselves. As for the Russians, they trap the corpses after killing them with dynamite so that the corpse explodes on the one who touches it next, and they cause the greatest number of victims.

 

"Without the support of the Russians, the Malians would not have advanced an inch towards the north. The Russians present here are directly called "Wagner" and the logo they display is the logo of the Wagner mercenaries, which we have known well on the ground. As for Burkina Faso, it intervenes in the war under the banner of the alliance of the three nations Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso to fight terrorism and separatist movements, and they refer to us, Azawad, as the *separatist movements.

 

In his explanation of what is happening to the Azawadi ethnic groups in terms of abuse, displacement and war crimes, Ben Bella said that “all that is happening to us is nothing but the spearhead of the new African call, which calls for the African continent to be a continent for dark-skinned Africans only, and for all those who have a colour other than black to leave it and leave it to its peoples, who are only dark-skinned Africans, and what represents this policy now are the regimes that reign in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso.”

*NOTE - SEPARATISM IS THE DESIRE FOR INDEPENDENCE AND SELF-DETERMINATION OF NATIONAL OR ETHNIC GROUPS.

It usually involves a claim to a specific territory and the intention to secede from a larger state. There are several well-known examples of separatist movements around the world, including Kurdish separatism in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria; Tamil separatism in Sri Lanka; Tuareg separatism in Mali and Niger; Quebec separatism in Canada; Basque separatism in Spain; etc.

 

TERRORISM IS “ORGANIZED VIOLENCE THAT DELIBERATELY TARGETS CIVILIANS AND IS AIMED AT INFLAMING FEAR IN A POPULATION FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES”

(Gregory et al., 2009, p. 747), although other definitions broaden this definition somewhat. For example, Borum defines terrorism as “acts of violence (as opposed to threats or more general coercion) intentionally perpetrated against noncombatant civilians for the purpose of advancing an ideological, religious, or political goal”  Scholars debate whether terrorism is, by definition, perpetrated only by nonstate actors, or whether states can engage in terrorism.



The victory of the Azawad army has been recorded in history in the widest sense of the word.

The prisoners of Fama and Wagner have nothing to complain about, they are treated according to international rules, they do not have to fear being eaten, because unlike them, the National Army of Azawad has dignity.


Azawad Press and Media Agency @apmazawad #Azawad | #Tinzaouten - July 27, 2024.

 

The Azawad Armed Forces CSP-DPA would like to emphasize their commitment to human rights and respect for the Geneva Convention. Captured prisoners, including surrendered #Wagner mercenaries, are treated with dignity and respect.

 

The CSP-DPA guarantees their safety and well-being, in accordance with international standards. The conditions of detention are in line with humanitarian rules, ensuring fair treatment for all captives.


The White Walkers have been defeated...

The Azawad rebels (the Azawad National Army) after a lightning battle in the Tin Zaouatine region, inflicted heavy defeats on the Russian Wagner mercenaries and the Malian cannibal militias. Hundreds of Wagner mercenaries and cannibal Malian army killed and captured by the Azawad National Army.

The upcoming operations will not stop until the last Malian soldier and their Russian allies are expelled from the land of Azawad.

War is ugly... and this is no exception! but sometimes the ugliness is justified if it´s a question of good over evil. In this war between the Azawad State , fighting for a just cause, to defend their occupied land and oppressed people against the cannibalistic sorcery state of Mali, Russia made the mistake of allying themselves with the wrong side and must be prepared to suffer the consequences. They felt it the hard way for the first time during this battle of Tinzwaten on July 27, 2024. After that battle (and perhaps before), they themselves mocked the cowardly insufficient Malian junta on their channels on Telegram.


The CSP-DPA informs national and international opinion that after two days of intense fighting on the outskirts of the village of Tinzawaten, a unit on a mission to defend unarmed civilians routed the entire column of the Malian army and the Russian mercenaries of Wagner who left Kidal, crisscrossing and sowing terror throughout the area, as usual, with its share of innocent deaths and desolation.

Without being exhaustive, the CSP-PDA announces that the enemy has suffered enormous losses in human lives and equipment including:

• dozens of dead and wounded:

• armored vehicles destroyed and others recovered in good condition;

• trucks and tanks - and other war equipment recovered by our forces:

• a helicopter damaged in combat, crashed in Kidal.


At this moment, the survivors of the enemy forces in disarray are being pursued by our forces on the road to Kidal. The CSP-PDA pays tribute to its armed forces and salutes their courage and determination.

It reassures the public that they remain committed until the last martyr to achieve its objectives, namely the total emancipation of the people of Azawad.

The CSP-PDA recalls that this battle is only the prelude and the demonstration of its firm will to drive all enemies out of its territory.

 

The CSP-DPA orders all fighters of the armed forces of Azawad to join their units as soon as possible and invites Azawadians as well as their friends and sympathizers to mobilize and unite to defend the cause.

Finally, the CSP-DPA deplores the silence of the states of the sub-region and of the entire international community on the massacres and serious human rights violations committed by the Russian mercenaries of Wagner and the Malian army against the population of Azawadi.


Tinzaouatene

 

On July 25, 2024, Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group, along with the Malian army, plan to take possession of Tinzaouatene, the last stronghold of civilians who fled their exactions. Units of the Azawad army present on the scene are currently clashing with the enemy to counter its advance and protect displaced civilian populations. Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane, Spokesperson for the CSP-DPA.

 

After a pause caused by a sandstorm until nightfall, hostilities resumed this morning, July 26, between the CSP and the Wagner group, accompanied by the Malian army, in Tinza, in the Kidal region.

Since Thursday, July 25, 2024, CSP-DPA units stationed in Tinzaouatene have been confronting Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group and the Malian army to protect civilian populations and their property, which constitute the main target of the terrorist duo the Wagner group and the Malian army, who, so far, has suffered enormous losses.

 

The Wagner group of mercenaries are recruited from prisoners who have committed the worst crimes and received long sentences. It's precisely those languishing in prison who are recruited to form this militia capable of any cruelty.

They practice terror worse than the worst Islamic terrorists, against civilians, to spread panic among the population as desired by the governments that hire them. They do all sorts of barbaric things, and they make good money out of it.

The Azawad Revolutionary Army has certainly made history by annihilating many of these monsters and ridding the world of these savage beasts.


Where are the human rights organizations regarding the suffering of the Azawadian people? 

Are you just decorations or are these people not human beings to you?



4 videos in one week of cannibalism by the national armies of Mali and Burkina and their militias, national armies more terrorists than terrorist groups!!!! No matter how long the lie, the truth always comes out.

The ethnic genocide in Azawad continues...


Yesterday, July 22, 2024, four young innocent people were coldly executed in Tahist 10 km from Aguel'hoc Kidal by Wagner mercenaries and the Malian army.

 

Apparently, they were searching for a lost child in the desert until they encountered the Malian army and Wagner's mercenaries who killed them.

LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AZAWAD!


Shame on all those whose descendants are being massacred, dismembered, grilled and eaten by Malian barbarism without it affecting them.

THE DESERT STERILIZATION PROJECT

Systematic genocide and forced displacement in Azawad. It is called "The Desert Sterilization" project...

 

Since the beginning of October in 2023, many people have been killed in Azawad and dozens have gone missing according to reports by activists, media professionals, and local news agencies. According to a review of the reports of Azawad Media and the Media Cell of the Azawadi Army Cicama Azawad, dozens of Arabs, white and brown Tuaregs, in addition to Azawadians of the Songhai ethnicity were killed in several areas. These areas are mostly Bedouin villages and camps located in the vicinity of the Timbuktu province, and others in the areas between Gao and And Kidal.

According to activists, the goal of the crimes of the Malian army and its partner, Wagner is a project they call “sterilizing the desert” Which means killing those who remain in their place, and terrorize the population to push them to migrate outside their areas, in addition to the systematic killing of animals that produce milk, poisoning wells, and seizing food grains.

The Malian army aims to regain control over the northern regions and the entire Azawad desert, driven by its commitment to the Russian Wagner militia, in handing over all mining sites in these areas after Bamako signed protection contracts with the Russian militia, which include paying amounts amounting to millions of dollars per month, in addition to the lion’s share in gold mines in the country.

"Whoever does not write about these crimes, even though he is able to do so, is an accomplice in them"

A voice in Azawad


They kill defenseless Azawadians in the most gruesome way. They kill them with Turkish drones, they cut off their heads, they disembowel and eat them.

In their pockets they keep cut off hands for magic and it is well known that mali is a country of sorcery. They are even constructing the biggest sorcery center in Africa. They perform massacre after massacre every day and it keeps getting worse and worse. One of the biggest massacres is the silence of the world and the associations of those who call themselves human rights.

Where are the human beings and humanity in what is happening in Azawad today?

Where are you in what is happening to the people of Azawad?

Cannibalism in Mali´s National Army

The violence of the Malian army under the leadership of Assimi Goita. The videos circulating everywhere on social media these past days, and they are authentic! shows proof of the inhuman cruelty of the Malian army, with soldiers sharing and eating the organs of a human being. What a horror and what a shame! Cannibalism in Mali 

We can expect that the Malian occupying army, who is responsible for its heinous crimes, should continue to deny its crimes, and is unlikely to acknowledge the presence of human carnivores in his army. 

But it is easy to see that it is not the facts that disturb the military junta in Bamako, but rather the publication of these facts on social networks.

The international community clearly seems increasingly insensitive to the suffering of the populations of the central Sahel.

Unbelievable atrocities against civilians in Azawad revealed.

Unbelievable atrocities against civilians in Azawad are revealed. A video circulating on social media is showing in the utmost barbaric brutality how members of the malian army and the terrorist militia is slaughtering, disemboweling and brandishing an Azawadian civilian cutting him up as would they cut up a steak. And it is not the first time they do this! that is clear. All in the name of fighting "terrorism" in Azawad, cheering on themselves.

 

This perverted criminal cannibalistic act poses a threat to the security and stability in all of the Sahel. Therefore countries and organizations are called on to condemn and besiege it!!

 

WHILE THE WORLD IS SILENT, this is what the Malian armed militias are doing to civilians in Azawad. The gruesome video can be seen on social media, for example on X. It is not an easy video to Watch! but it is reality.

 

We don´t know if the video is recent or not, but it doesn`t matter, it´s the same thing today as it was a few years ago, most likely even worse, since evil has a way of degenerating over time as morality and decency are constantly eroded and limits pushed.


July 16, 2024


But the Azawadis have no one to mourn them.

What is all the more heartbreaking is that everyone, despicable and abject, is against them, in the East and in the West, with their Muslims and their humanitarians, their human rights organizations. and its abominable and deceptive moral systems.

 

LAHCEN AG TOUHAMI


Their evil cannot be described.

They are like cannibalistic ignorant animals and everyone knows that we are fighting the blackest of black creatures.

The world watches in silence.

 

A SOLDIER OF THE ARMY OF AZAWAD


Here's the difference: when members of a national army indulge in despicable and unspeakable acts of barbarism such as those committed by the Malian army, it's a matter of the most profound debasement.

In Tin-Issako constituency, the terrorists Wagner and FAMA (Malian Armed Forces) have recently intensified their activities by poisoning wells. This tactic was also spotted on the #Inounfassane area. 

 

Their violence is no longer limited to murders, kidnappings and other atrocities. They are now using poisoned wells as a new means of terror. 

This practice mainly targets poor nomadic farmers who depend on these wells for their survival and that of their livestock. 

 

The consequences are catastrophic: all humans and animals who drink from these poisoned wells die quickly. Local sources reported several deaths, both human and animal, in the Tin-Isako district and the Enfasan site, due to poisoned water.

 

These actions highlight the escalation of violence and brutality committed by terrorists Wagner and FAMA in Azawad, sowing death and destruction among an already vulnerable population. May God's punishment come soon for these terrorists, Wagner and Fama.

The poisoning of water wells and IEDs left by Wagner and the Malian military in the Tinessako region.

Punitive expeditions has been performed with an icreasing intesity since 2023 by Malian soldiers and Russian mercenaries to massacre, pillage and drive out the inhabitants of Azawad in an attempt to exterminate all forms of life in this area.

They use Turkish drones, abuses, arrests, murder, burning and looting. But this is not enough for them. In addition they also poison the wells to eliminate the animals and the people living there, who, for the most part are peaceful nomads.

After the Malian army and Wagner left Tinassako, the water from several wells was tested by an indigenous witness giving the water to animals. These animals died on the spot.


In addition to this locals found IEDs (Improvised exposive devices) left by Wagner around a mass grave where they found severeal bodies of killed people. Also the dead animals were trapped. An IED is an improvised explosive device, a “homemade” bomb and/or destructive device aimed to destroy, incapacitate, harass, or distract. These devices are used by criminals and terrorists. These improvise devices are capable of causing massive damage and loss of life.

 

The international and regional community remains silent on these crimes of the Malian junta.

 

July 14, 2024

After executing several people, they are burying explosive devices in their tracks to trap the population and make more victims of innocent people who they could not find on the place.


REFUGEE CRISIS

Mauritania: A food crisis is looming, with hundreds of thousands of Azawadi refugees expected to flock to refugee camps amid a humanitarian funding crisis.

Persecutions and annihilation of the Tuaregs in Northern Mali by the FAMA and their Mercenary Partners. 

 

Since November 14, 2023, the FAMA and Russian mercenaries Wagner have invested the city of Kidal. Residents' homes were ransacked and others were bulldozed. Traders' shops are systematically looted, some traders are kidnapped or even executed. 

 

In private homes, all household appliances are taken away by the “police forces” and the rest is looted by home workers from the south of the country. The city is cordoned off and arrests and disappearances are a daily occurrence. 

 

This is how two months after his arrest, the lifeless body of a virtuous retired teacher: Tita Ag Backrene, as well as two of his companions was found thrown on the outskirts of the town of Kidal. Tita is known by all for his loyalty, his dignity and his open-mindedness; he has never been part of armed groups. Their executioners didn't even bother to bury them. 

 

A few days later it was the turn of an honest citizen, Attakara Ag Atlagh, to be executed on his motorcycle with 3 of his companions whose disintegrated bodies were found in the open in Aghelhek south of Kidal. Attakara is the main fuel seller in the city, his courtesy and availability are recognized by all. 

 

Columns of offensive and destructive armored vehicles, supported by Turkish drones, roam the desert pastures. They pillage the nomads' settlement sites, destroy the water towers and summarily execute the men and animals found there. 

 

This is how two opinion leaders in the town of Kidal in Amacine were assassinated, Ahmed Ag Hamzatta and Lamine Ag Bissada. The horrible expedition carried out at the beginning of July in the Abeybara circle left more than 60 victims, some of whom were Doussahak refugees in the area following their persecution by extremist groups in their region of origin. 

 

It was during this expedition that they murdered Ghissa Ag Mahamad Ag Qassi, a poor man who would not harm anyone. There is total disarray, almost all places of cultural and religious learning (TAMIZGUIDA) have been stripped of their ancestral lands to be forced into exile at the edge of the borders of neighboring countries. 

 

In the memory of our existence, such an event has never occurred in our history. The localities of Takalot, Amacine, Tassik are not spared, these columns carry out arrests, assassinations and pillaging of the populations, without distinction of their tribal or family affiliation (Ifoghas, Idnanes, Imghad, Taghat malat, Iboghilitan….) 

 

How can we imagine the cohesion of a nation when its leaders call on foreign mercenary partners to systematically eliminate a portion of innocent citizens? 

 

Because it is these mercenary partners who are on motorcycles to hunt down innocent people and burn pastures. It is these mercenary partners who are in the drone pilot stations and combat aircraft, they are the ones who give instructions and direct the interrogations, they are the ones who position satellites to control the sub-region. 

 

Meanwhile, our nicknames “Pan-Africons” are screaming about regained sovereignty. It seems to me that the gap that separates the north and south of the country is becoming a gulf that is difficult to bridge. 

 

The Peace and Reconciliation Agreement which moderated the situation for a certain time only served as an opportunity for the putschists to arm themselves, place themselves under different supervision and turn their back on the international community. 

 

Amazigh July 2024.

Sahel : The Azawadian movements declare that they do not recognize the confederation announced by the AES at the Niamey summit.

Statement of the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of the Azawadian People no: 04/BE/CSP-CSP-DPA/2024, on the organization of the first summit of the Alliance of Sahelian States (AES) 

https://www.nujume.com/azawad/

The CSP-DPA takes note of the final communiqué of the summit of the so-called Alliance of Sahelian States (AES), held on Saturday, July 6 in Niamey, in which the head of the Bamako military junta participated on behalf of the State of Mali.

 

The Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of the Azawadian People (CSP-DPA) would like to emphasize that it does not recognize any of the decisions of this meeting.

 

While appreciating the diplomatic and historical efforts made by Burkina Faso and Niger during the crises faced by the Azawadian people and the central government of Mali, the CSP-DPA emphasizes that no alliance or union can be built on the denial, disdain and deliberate exclusion of the population of a large part of the said territory.

 

The massacres aimed at systematic ethnic cleansing, carried out by the military junta in Bamako with the support of mercenaries of the Russian Wagner militia, cannot be justified by any people who love change and lasting peace.

 

The CSP-DPA alerts the authorities in Niger and Burkina Faso and their peoples that the internal conflict in Mali is a purely political dispute, an old conflict in which Burkina Faso played a decisive role as a mediator on behalf of the Economic Community of West African States (CEDEAO), especially during the 2013 negotiations, which led to the signing of the Ouagadougou Agreement preliminary to the holding of presidential elections in Mali. Access to the peace and reconciliation agreement in Mali resulting from the Algiers process in 2015, which is now null and void.

 

In view of all the above, and in order to preserve the gains of mutual trust and solidarity between the different peoples of our region, whose cross-border character is undeniable, the CSP-DPA calls on the authorities in Niger and Burkina Faso not to be drawn into any form of intervention in the conflict it faces with the central military authority in Bamako. The CSP-DPA renews its full recognition of the territorial integrity and respect for the sovereignty of all neighboring countries and does not use their territory to defend the Azawadian people's demands.

New victims of the Amassin massacre found: Wagner mercenaries and the Malian army are involved.

Article written on Arabic speaking website News Vision, translated here to english.

 

New victims of the Amassin massacre found: Wagner mercenaries and the Malian army are involved.

 

Amassine - On the morning of May 22, 2024, 6 people were found killed and burned a few kilometers from the town of Amassine. Sources confirmed that the victims were killed and burned by Russian Wagner mercenaries with the participation of the Malian army.

 

This incident is the latest in a series of massacres carried out by Wagner mercenaries in collaboration with the Malian army. Several major massacres have been carried out in the Amassin, Task, Intabaz and several areas of Kidal province, as well as large parts of Azawad.

 

Local reports indicate that these brutal operations are aimed at destabilizing the region and strengthening military control over it. The escalation of violence in Azawad is of great concern to the local population and the international community, and calls for urgent intervention by the relevant authorities to protect civilians and put an end to these flagrant human rights violations.

 

We are surprised by the silence of the international media and the international community about what is happening in this region, as if nothing had happened to this authentic community, the Tuareg community. These horrific crimes continue without receiving the necessary attention from international bodies and major media outlets, which increases the suffering of the local population who live in constant fear of the recurrence of such atrocities.

 

It is worth noting that the IMOHAG International Organization is the only one that documented these crimes, while the Azawad authorities and the IMOHAG Organization are still the only ones seeking to investigate these crimes. We strongly condemn the silence of the rest of the human rights organizations. We also demand self-determination for the Azawad people to guarantee their rights and protect them from these ongoing violations. These events reinforce the demands of the international community to monitor the situation in Azawad and provide the necessary support to the victims and those affected.
