WE ARE HERE TO TELL THE WORLD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AZAWAD
AZAWAD …. Names are not just words… but history and identity and peoples.
Azawad is not just a region, it is a symbol of struggle, resistance and dignity for a people seeking recognition and self-determination.
The Malian authorities has since the 60s been implementing an ethnic cleansing replacement policy aimed to erase the Tuaregs, Arabs (moors) Peuhls and some others from Azawad. The so called “rebellions” are neither rebellions nor terrorism, they are the resistance of a people forced to fight an existenstial war.
Do they not have the right to live on their ancestral land like any other people?
The Azawad Army does not wage expansionist wars or target innocents.
Rather, they defend their land and people against an occupying army that has committed documented massacres, and against hired foreign militias that practice genocide and displacement under official cover.
The Touaregs wherever they are must know that AES is an alliance designed to exterminate them.
Azawad is at war, not out of a desire for conflict, but out of a refusal to disappear. Every bullet fired is a response to years of oppression. Our revolution is not a cry for vengeance; it is a call for dignity. We do not seek domination, only justice. The forgotten voice of Azawad needs to be heard. People of Azawad deserve justice and dignity.
They fight neither for money nor for glory, they fight for the right to exist on the land where they and their generations before them since millennia were born, and left the tifinagh on the rocks as proof of their existence.
The solution to all the problems is simple… independence of Azawad. it`s long due. People come and go…but the Azawad cause stays. The fight for freedom continues until Azawad is free.
THIS WEBPAGE IS A PEACEFUL SUPPORT TO THE CAUSE OF THE PEOPLE OF AZAWAD.
“The Tuareg people have long been marginalized, isolated, crushed, trampled and one day they said enough is enough. They rebelled to say that they exist and that they must have the same rights as other peoples” Mano Dayak, Interview, 1994
When you realize the full scale of the oppression by Mali on Azawad. It`s like you almost have to sit down and take a deep breath… It`s like a full book of genocide tactics.
“My friends across Africa, I have a question,
A question that keeps haunting me… Is revolution like certain trees whose branches will only grow if they are watered?”

AZAWAD NEWS
BY AZAWAD SUPPORT GROUP, AZAWAD FREEDOM VOICE, TOUMAST INFO & OTHER CONTRIBUTORS
Here we share news about what is happening in Azawad, from 2022 and onwards.
However, it must be remembered that this struggle for freedom has been going on since the 1960s! The people of Azawad have suffered a lot!
We display the headlines of eight news articles on this frontpage, but there is a lot more in the drop-down menus of “Previous posts” – where you can search for months or cathegories.
Take a look at these two pictures. The first picture are three Tuaregs protesting in Paris against the ethnic genocide on the civilian population in Azawad (northern Mali) by the Malian military junta and the Russian Africa Corps/Wagner mercenaries. They are called “terrorists” by the Malian junta and its supporters. Why? because they protest against genocide, atrocities against civilians and human rights violations.
In the second picture is the cut off body parts, (head, arms and legs) of a young Tuareg man in Azawad, placed in the sand to form the Nazi swastika. He and two other people were brutally decapitated without any trial or anything, in front of the villagers in Zarho on the 2026-06-23.
That man was an unarmed civilian, decapitated and dismembered by the Russian mercenaries in complicit with the Malian army Fama. For the first time the Nazi symbol appears in Mali, a colonial state which claims to be a “terrorist fighter”.
One word is enough as caption for this picture – who is the terrorist??
After that monstrous performance involving the body of the young Tuareg man, killed without any concrete charge and vilified after death by Nazi sympathizers, – who still dares to claim that the Azawad Liberation Front, FLA, are the terrorists?
Is it the FLA acting like the terrorist human beasts of yesterday in Zarho? Is the FLA the true terrorist group?!
Of course not.
That is convenient rhetoric used to frame barbarism as a “counter-terrorism struggle,” but it is a false narrative.
Nazism is terrorism. The Wagner Group (even when disguised under a different name and status) is the major terrorist force operating in Africa. Is anyone who persists in this narrative “Azawad Liberation Front, FLA, is a terrorist group” prepared to become a carbon copy of Nazis?
It was Russia’s ferocious greed, worthy of a pack of starving tigers, for the gold and other natural resources of the Indigenous territory known as Azawad that disrupted the negotiations between Mali and the Azawad independence fighters.
A conflict and negotiations that had endured from 1960 to 2023, based on the pursuit of dialogue and diplomacy most of the time, even though the marginalization and oppression by Mali on the people of Azawad was ongoing, but at least without any accusation of terrorism.
Yes. The cause of Azawad’s independence had *never* been labeled “terrorism” by any Malian government, nor by other nations or the UN – until Russia entered the Sahel, driven by the scent of gold.
Hitler’s hunger was for Jewish capital. Is history repeating itself in Africa, because of gold? The Nazi Afrika Korps. A Russian Africa Corps.
Could it be a coincidence? Yesterday’s swastika raises questions.
Assimi Goïta simply yielded to the greed of the Wagner Group as it seems, – whose methods are the very definition of terrorism (which is why the group is officially classified as a terrorist organization in several countries) – in exchange for consolidating his grip on power indefinitely, at any cost.
Yet, this inversion of values is already recognized by many nations. That is why the Azawad Liberation Front, FLA, remains free of terrorism accusations in the rest of the world.
And that terrorist state, thanks to its brutal, savages allies, will be held accountable for its war crimes and crimes against humanity.
No tyrant in human history has ever escaped human and divine justice; in one way or another, brutes unworthy of being treated as human beings always meet a tragic end.
That man was an unarmed civilian, decapitated and dismembered by the Russian mercenaries in complicit with the Malian army Fama. One word is enough as caption for this picture – who is the terrorist??
While Niger has recently released several detained individuals and citizens, including Libyan citizens, following influential political, tribal, and social interventions—where financial resources, political influence, and the efforts of tribes and mediators played a decisive role in defending their sons and securing their release—the case of the Tuareg Inkinan Ag Attaher remains unresolved and without significant progress.
The Tuareg Diaspora organized manifestation against the massacres in Azawad and the Sahel reached the world despite being restricted in numbers and place, due to french regulations concerning manifestations near any embassy. Also, Alissa Descotes-Toyosaki, the well-known Japanese-French journalist and writer took part in the manifestation organized by the Tuareg diaspora in Europe near the Russian Embassy in Paris, France, on June 20, 2026.
June 20, 2026 – A manifestation took place in Paris against the massacres in Mali (especially in the Azawad region in northern Mali) and in the central Sahel.
Here are three video reminders (two in the Tamasheq language and one in French) about the upcoming manifestation to denounce the massacres in Azawad and in the Sahel.
From 1960 in Kidal, right after French colonial rule ended, Malian gendarmes began with systematic humiliation. They tore off the turbans of Tuareg men in their camps and forced them to stare at the sun in front of their families.
EVERYTHING IS TARGETED IN AZAWAD, CIVILIANS, ANIMALS, EVEN NATURE, THE SITUATION IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
France is responsable for the Azawad situation. They should never have colonized and then attached Azawad to Mali. Two different countries. In conflict since then, especially due to the neglect and oppression by Mali.
The Azawadians did never agree to be attached to Mali, a country they had nothing in common with, and Mali did from the very beginning neglect and oppress Azawad – followed by the start of a genocide, but since they were never able to kill off the Azawadian people they called for help from external forces. Like Wagner, now Africa Corps and who, like the authorities of Mali, admittedly have no interest in human rights. And they use Turkish drones killing entire families. Only a fraction of all the suffering is brought to the attention of the media.
The people of Azawad have been forced to fight for decades, not by choice, but by necessity – to defend their land and identity, to defend their dignity. To survive – it`s an existential struggle, not just with weapons, but also culturally, and there is a cultural and mental and environmental genocide going on as well as an ethnic genocide.
BREAK THE SILENCE ON AZAWAD
The Azawadians did never ask for or agree to be attached to Mali! but they were force-attached.
And THIS is the ROOT of the PROBLEM!
Since independence, there has been no peace because it was not one country, but two – with distinct identities, one oppressing the other. Recognize this and peace will follow. #Azawad
In #Azawad there are no basic necessities like running water, schools, hospitals or roads due to state neglect. And when people ask for their rights they are labeled as terrorists by the junta and their supporters.. That is a common tactic by oppressive regimes and has also happened in other parts of the world when people are fighting for freedom against oppression, they label them terrorists.
When injustice is the law rebellion is a duty.
SELF-INTEREST IS THE ENEMY OF LIBERATION!
Betrayal is not only in actions, but in silence too!
IN AZAWAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET US NOT CLOSE OUR EYES LET US KNOW: THEY ARE MASSACRING THE INNOCENTS LET US REACT AGAINST THE BARBARIANS!
Can you, members of the international community, imagine what it must be like to live under these attacks and oppression from Fama and Africa Corps (ex Wagner)? For example, living in the desert, where you hear the noise from far away in the silence, and suddenly… you hear the noise of engines in the middle of the night? Someone is approaching and you know it is death.
So what can we do?
We can always do something, if there´s a will, there´s a way like Bob Marley used to say. For example, the least we can do is react. We can stop being silent! we can at least try to let the world know what is happening in Azawad. Silence kills.
We can also help with donations when Azawad Solidarity and local organizations has campaigns. Any donations helps, no matter how small. They recently had a very successful campaign and they posted a lot of pictures and information on the social media as well as made a video of the deliverance of medecines to refugees in Tinzawatine, you can read about it here.
A Z A W A D
Fama and Africa Corps (ex Wagner), they come to a village… and then they leave that village with a scar that takes generations to heal. And justice is still absent, but silence is not!!

“BUT NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN DEFEAT THOSE WHO DEFEND A JUST CAUSE” Mano Dayak
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? #A-Voice-in-Azawad …
The unheard of atrocities against the civilians of Azawad continue in all their barbaric brutality by the Malian army and the terrorist Wagner militia, slaughtering Azawadian civilians in the name of fighting “terrorism” in their attempt to exterminate every living being in Azawad, using the burnt earth policy, and cheering themselves on in a barbaric act of genocide that continues while the world remains silent. it`s always the children who are the most vulnerable victims.
The nomadic population, forgotten by the world. It is confronted with the repression of terrorists on the one hand and regular and mercenary armies on the other, who do not differentiate between a terrorist and an innocent and targeting children is part of their agenda. In the picture is an injured child by the drone attack in Tinzawaten 2024 killing several children.
In the 70s, the Malian government took advantage of the drought to starve the inhabitants of Azawad, it is proven. Today, international humanitarian organizations were prohibited by the Malian authorities to help in the epidemic of malaria and dysentery and they are strongly suspected of adding chemicals in the drones causing an unknown disease as well as causing the animals to get deformed offspring. It is the same genocide that has been repeated since the 60s. Only the methods have become more sophisticated.
The daily life of the people of Azawad has become a nightmare, marked by violence and terror. The repeated incursions of the Africa Corps (ex Wagner) forces and the FAMA have plunged entire communities into indescribable suffering.
Entire villages are reduced to ashes, their homes burned, their property plundered without mercy. The meager pastures, source of life for the herders, are also ravaged by the flames, destroying all hope of subsistence.
Forced into exile, men, women and children find themselves surviving under modest sunshades, without shelter or resources, exposed to extreme precariousness. This blind violence destroys not only lives, but also entire generations, threatening the future of Azawad and the dignity of its inhabitants.
Please, if you are willing and able, support the suffering people and the fight for a free Azawad. The blood of the Azawadians is wasted while their just cause remain forgotten! What a shame! A sad reality! Their lives are worth as much as those of others, but they are considered useless in the eyes of the exploiters! Who can do anything about this situation?
AZAWAD IS BLEEDING…. THEY NEED OUR HELP AND SUPPORT!
You don’t compare the one who fights for money to the one who fights for his dignity. One sells his soul, the other defends his freedom.
IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE AFRICA CORPS (ex WAGNER) TO HELP THE ILLEGAL PUTSCHISTS CARRY OUT ETHNIC CLEANSING IN THE SAHEL REGION IN DISREGARD OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
History will witness your silence 🤐 !!!! @ToumastInfo
