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?”
Tinariwen
A revolution is not fought with weapons alone… there are fighters of diplomacy, the media, musical, authors, poets of resistance, teachers, all activists, because the fronts have become diverse.
Imouhagh International for Justice and Transparency is a human rights organization that has been documenting the situation of Tuareg communities in Sahel countries, particularly in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, for several years.

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.
THE UN`s SILENCE ON THE AZAWAD TRAGEDY: WHEN HUMANITY IGNORES VICTIMES AND MOBILIZES FOR WEAPONS
The worst trial an overlook people can face is not merely geographical cruelty or scarce resources, but “methodical international silence” that silently legitimizes injustice.
When we contemplate the tragic reality lived by the people of Azawad, one of the most glaring paradoxes in the history of the contemporary international system unfolds before us: Why does the United Nations stand by in silence regarding the massacres, ethnic cleansing, and grave violations suffered by unarmed Azawadi civilians, yet its halls erupt and a succession of expressions of concern emerge to defend armed factions whose very mission is combat?
First: Azawad… Civilian Blood That Fails to Stir “International Concern”
Over the decades, the population of Azawad has endured systematic campaigns of repression and massacres documented by living testimony, only to be met with a strange and deliberate international indifference.
Victims Without an Echo: When children and women are killed, fields are burned, and villages are displaced on ethnic or identity grounds, UN investigative aircraft do not land in the region, nor are emergency sessions of the Security Council convened to condemn the atrocities.
Double Standards: The blood of Azawadi civilians seems stripped of the political weight required to merit a “statement of condemnation” or a “fact-finding commission.” It is as if, on the international scale, humanity is fractured according to geopolitical interests rather than the sheer horror of the crime.
Secondly: The paradox of protecting armed men at the expense of innocent victims.
The most painful aspect of this situation lies in the blatant contradiction of international reactions:
Mobilization for Arms: When fighters or armed groups (whose core functions are combat and conflict) face pressure or targeted field operations, UN and international bodies rush to express the utmost degrees of alarm, setting international diplomatic mechanisms in motion to protect them or negotiate their survival.
Hiding Behind Bureaucracy: Meanwhile, unarmed Azawadi civilians are left to face their fate alone against the machinery of violence, while international diplomacy sometimes transforms into a shield protecting parties to armed conflict under the pretext of “state stability” or “counter-terrorism” – ignoring the fundamental truth that the primary and ultimate victim is the innocent human being whose only possessions are a right to life and dignity.
Third: The Final Humanitarian Appeal – Justice Unshackled from Politics
True security and lasting stability in the Sahel region will never be achieved through policies of double standards, nor by ignoring the historical wounds of marginalized peoples.
“A human being is a human being wherever they are, and the blood of an Azawadi child is no less sacred than that of any other human being on Earth.”
The persistent UN silence regarding the massacres in Azawad represents not merely a failure of humanitarian duty, but transmits a dangerous message: that force and weaponry are the sole pathways to command the world’s attention, while innocence and peacefulness pay the ultimate price in a world that turns a blind eye to the oppressed.

Once again another manifestation took place in the middle of the Republic Square in the French city of Rennes to protest against the massacres committed by the Malian army and the Afrika Korps on the Arabs (moors) Tuaregs and Fulanis, and the cooperation of the United Nations with the criminal, abandoning the principle of protection.
No one is asking the UN to turn a blind eye to Malian soldiers executed after surrendering, if that is indeed what happened. The question is one of consistency. If this renewed interest in human rights in the Sahel now extends, with the same rigor and speed, to all violations, whether committed by armed groups, the Malian army, or its Russian backers, then this is to be welcomed, and the UN should demonstrate this by applying the same pressure to the ongoing investigations into Moura and the dozens of other documented atrocities against unarmed civilians.
For decades, Azawad and its inhabitants have faced all sorts of atrocities and bombings targeting innocent civilians: women, babies, children, the elderly, Fulani, Arabs (Maures), and Tuaregs. Despite all this, there has been no outrage or condemnation, not even once, from Malian civil society, religious scholars, politicians, or intellectuals, whether pro-junta or staunch opponents in exile.
A Message to Azawad Officials and Activists Defending the Azawad Cause: By: تيم تار ان مرهانين The disinformation campaigns have reached a point where silence is no longer an option. Therefore, the responsibility does not fall solely on political leaders,… Read more: A MESSAGE TO AZAWAD OFFICIALS AND ACTIVISTS DEFENDING THE AZAWAD CAUSE
An ambush on saturday morning, july 18, 2026 by the Azawad Liberation Front on vehicles with Malian Fama soldiers and Russian Afrika Korps mercenaries resulted in the destruction of several armored vehicles, and the killing and capture of dozens of Malian soldiers. This happened in the Tabrichat area.
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
