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
“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

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.
URGENT | On May 27, 2026: A crime that shakes the conscience of humanity in Mali.
This Tuareg woman was killed in Aguelhok, Azawad (northern Mali) by Russian soldiers belonging to what is known as the “African Corps,” while she tried to save her father from the hands of oppressors who executed him in cold blood before her very eyes.
What humanity remains in this world when a woman is murdered simply for trying to protect her father on the day of Eid, while the world remains silent? What conscience can accept that the Sahel region has become a field of blood where innocent people are killed without trial, without evidence, and without even respecting the sanctity of Eid al-Adha?
What is happening today in Azawad is not a “fight against terrorism,” as some would have us believe, but a true human tragedy for which civilians are paying the price: women, children, the elderly, and innocent people whose only “crime” is living in a region where human life seems to have lost all value.
Even in wars, there are limits and humanitarian laws. But what we are witnessing today transcends all values and morality. Killing civilians, bombing villages, terrorizing families, and executing innocent people will never build peace; it will only fuel further hatred, pain, and destruction.
The most painful aspect is the silence of certain states that constantly talk about “human rights,” while supporting the Malian military regime or turning a blind eye to the crimes committed against the people of the Sahel.
Where are the voices that claimed to defend humanity throughout the world? Or does the blood of the Tuareg and the innocent people of Azawad have no value in the eyes of this world?
To remain silent in the face of injustice is not neutrality…
To remain silent in the face of the massacre of innocent people is to become complicit in the crime.
And those who remain silent today will be judged by history before they are even judged by their own conscience.
May God grant His mercy to the victims, protect the innocent, and reveal the truth to the whole world.

The Malian army and the Russian Africa Corps mercenaries also burned several hamlets in Elewidj and abducted several people, leaving this Tuareg woman murdered on the spot in front of her father and the local mercenaries who were acting as guides.
In front of her father who she tried to protect… she was killed. And because she and her father were Tuareg.
Also, three women were kidnapped by the same patrol, may God help them… and several civilian trucks transporting water were burned, hamlets were scorched, and donkeys were killed. Living in Azawad/Mali and being either Fulani, Tuareg or Arab/Moor is the same as having your life being in severe danger every single day.
Aguelhok, also known as Adjelhoc, is a rural commune and village in the Kidal region in Azawad, of north-eastern Mali in the Tessalit Circle.
This is the trademark of the Africa Corps mercenaries and their auxillaries Fama/the Malian army, burnt, burnt and burnt…. always these black scorched houses, and massacred civilian people.
The genocide in Azawad on Fulani-Tuareg-Arabs (Moors) goes on while the world remain silent.
This Tuareg woman was killed in Aguelhok, Azawad (northern Mali) by Russian soldiers belonging to what is known as the “African Corps,” while she tried to save her father from the hands of oppressors who executed him in cold blood before her very eyes.
What humanity remains in this world when a woman is murdered simply for trying to protect her father on the day of Eid, while the world remains silent?
On the day of Aid Al_Adha, the old mosque in the Alyou neighborhood of Kidal was destroyed in a strike led by the junta and Russian mercenaries of Africa corps.
From rural areas of Timbuktu to Kidal, and throughout central and southern Mali, airstrikes, alleged executions, and bombings targeting civilian populations are on the rise.
The protests against the bombing of civilians are increasing in Azawad. From Kidal and Tinzawatene to Talhendak region. The Azawadi people in the Talhendak region have staged a protest condemning the systematic and ongoing bombing of cities and areas in Azawadi by the Malian terrorist army, as well as the use of internationally banned cluster bombs.
What the people of Azawad—Arabs, Tuaregs, and Fulani—are experiencing today is not just a war, but a systematic campaign of extermination perpetrated in cold blood under the false pretext of ‘fighting terrorism.
The people of Azawad call on the international community to act in the face of the massacres perpetrated by the Malian army and its Russian proxies. Silence is no longer an option.
Around forty torn-out tongues were found in Tessalit, Azawad (northern Mali) in the camp that was occupied by Africa Corps (formerly Wagner) and the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa). The number of tongues found corresponds to the number of people abducted in the area, about whom there is still no news.
This is one of the many irrefutable historical proofs demonstrating that Azawad existed long before the creation of the modern Malian state, inherited from the colonial partitioning. Well before Mali’s independence in 1960, the name Azawad was already used to designate a clearly identified geographical, cultural, and human space in historical accounts, local traditions, and several ancient administrative documents.
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
