Reading through older reports and articles concerning the situation between Azawad and Mali we get to read these horrific but historically documented and true statements, which leaves no doubts that it`s a calculated genocide that has been going on since the 60s – and which is still going on today with an extermination of Azawadian people at a rate that is horrifying.
This extermination or genocide has many facets, some almost hidden but equally dangerous to the existence of a people and their culture. Here´s a few statements that has been documented in various places:
“The solution to the Tuareg problem lies in exterminating them.” – Said by a Malian military commander, in 1990.
“Commander Moussa Badougou Koné in the Malian army at the time, lined up 10 bound Tuaregs, pouring gasoline on them and then setting them on fire. – 1990. This is something that still happens today.
“They are children who visited our planet for a few days and left with terrifying memories” – Said by a doctor about Tuareg refugee children.
ABOUT MALIAN RACISM:
“You only had to have fair skin to get attacked by them” (by them, meaning the Malian army) – 2012. It`s the same racism today!
“The Malian militias were saying, “We don’t like to see you white, but black like us,” meaning charred. – About burning Azawadian people alive, in Gao, 2015. Still happening today!
This shows the depth of the hate and racism that is targeting the Azawadian people just because they are not the same people as the Malians. And because they are fighting for their land and their freedom. Because they resist!
