Witnesses reported that on September 8, 2025, the Malian army arrested two Tuareg men, including Oussa Ag Aliou, while they were accompanying a sick cousin to Sévaré. The two men were executed on the spot by the soldiers.
UPDATES about a drone strike killing 2 women and 3 children in a tent, and injuring a man, all civilians, at the bottom of this article.
So, in this country… a Tuareg, a Fulani or an Arab (moor) cannot walk freely on the street without risking their lives and to be executed on the spot. (or arrested and tortured and/or executed in another spot) The Malian authorities who claims to “fight terrorism” but instead of fighting terrorism executes certain ethnicities, what are they if not the terrorists themselves?
The Malian regimes have always been rooted in racism against the Tuaregs/Arabs and Fulanis, and the Azawadian people are treated as “foreigners” on their own soil which the Malian authorities want to take away from them. They want to get rid of the Azawadian population, so they exterminate them and drive them away. That is – per definition – a terrorist state!!!
To quote Fatim Walett :
“This is why the state has chosen to target civilians with its drones, even though it knows perfectly well where the Tuareg fighters are, deliberately equating them with terrorists (in order to gain the support of national and international public opinion) and whom it does not dare confront directly!!”
The goal is clear: to terrorize the civilian population, drive them into exile, and thus empty the territory of its legitimate inhabitants!! Then, once the Tuaregs are dispersed, the state will be able to orchestrate an ethnic replacement. In a few decades, it will be claimed that the Tuaregs are not originally from Azawad, that they come from “elsewhere”… This discourse has already begun, since some dare to call us “Algerians”!!
According to international reports like the Whitehall report:
“A member of the Malian National Guard expressed the same idea, in different terms: Mali needed a military force that does not respect any of the human rights rules that the transitional authorities consider to be chains that prevent the country from moving forward … The problems that the Malian government authorities have with Westerners are that the latter respect human rights too much and do not accept forces attacking civilians under the pretext of counter-terrorism, or attacking armed groups that have signed the Algiers Accord.
(!!!!)
“Wagner led armed battles against “insurgents” and they do this in a very violent, unethical and unprofessional way, with no respect for human beings”
“The expectation appears to have been not only that Wagner would deploy extreme violence, but that it would also set an example for the FAMa to follow”
And now the Africa Corps are continuing with this genocide. (That started in 1963…)
Someone on the social media asked – What is the difference between rebels and terrorism? here is a good reply, quoting Brezinski Liliam:
The main difference is that a rebel fights the authority established for political purposes and has an organizational structure, while a terrorist resort to violence against civilians to instill fear and achieve its objectives, without necessarily aiming for a direct fight against the state.
Terrorism aims to terrorize the population, while rebellion focuses on the struggle for political change.
“In the case of Mali vs. Azawad, this is a colonial issue that has never been treated like any other independence struggles of ancient colonies around the world.
Mali inherited territories from its former French colonizer and behaves like the latter, refusing to integrate the North into its national project with the same advantages as the South.
But it also does not leave northern populations the freedom to manage their own development.
Mali first broke all the agreements. Therefore, nothing justifies treating the northern independence struggle as terrorism.
Even the UN is not accusing Azawad’s struggle as terrorism. On the other hand, jihadist terrorism is a security issue of international importance, and its ability to suffocate the country is due solely to the inability of different Malian governments to manage their country well.
Terrorist groups are less widespread in the rest of the world than in the Sahel. Why does this happen? simply because instead of fighting terrorism, the junta prefers to exterminate civilians from ethnic minorities. Anyone who observes from outside can see it clearly.”
We wrote about it before, the definition of what a terrorist is – a terrorist is someone, or a group, who kill civilians and uses violence, fear and propaganda to gain power and establish their goal and power. Isn’t that exactly what the Malian junta is currently doing?
The Azawadian separatists or freedom fighters, does not target civilians. A separatist is someone who fights for the self-determination and freedom of their community oppressed by a state which, as in the case of Mali, uses terrorism and genocide against them.
The separatists of Azawad claim the right of their people (since their land was broken up and attached to Mali against their will and by force, when France had created “Mali” in the 60s)
They are not some kind of “foreign invaders” trying to divide or separate a territory, they were on this land (Azawad) before Mali was even created. Anyone who does not accept this truth is ignorant, illiterate or blinded by racism.
They were denied their rights from the start, they were denied the right to live in peace on their land, they were denied equality and cultural and political recognition. They were subjected to racism and called “rebels” even as children. What they want is justice, autonomy or self-determination and they do not use terrorism in the fight for freedom.
And clearly, its not the same fight at all, and anyone who confuses the separatist fight with the terrorists are a victim of their own ignorance or the Malian state propaganda.
Rebellions has historically always been, and still is – the reaction of a people facing oppression and marginalization.
Instead of giving the Azawadians their right to autonomy, self-determination or independence and equal rights, and to develop the country so that everybody could live better lives regardless of ethnicity, maybe even have electricity every day, develop education, healthcare, agriculture and bring the country forward instead of backward, they bring in Russian mercenaries, buys expensive Turkish drones and go and kill civilians, more specifically – Arabs (Moors), Tuaregs and Fulanis.
And… while the Malian state focus on exterminating the civilian population of certain ethnicities, the terrorists are on their way to take over the country. It`s burning in Mali, every single day.

UPDATE! 18-09-25 – Djounhan/Kidal,
Air strike by a Turkish TB2 drone by the Malian junta against a nomad tent, 3 women killed and 2 children…
“Apparently the junta’s drones exist to hit tents with women and children and not jihadists”
Is this not state terrorism?
“Whenever the junta is under pressure in the south and needs to relieve the situation, it carries out strikes in Azawad, either on tents or Tuareg animals.”

At the moment when terrorists burn on everything that moves in the center and southwest of the country, the terrorist junta focus on bombing the peaceful population of #azawadiens with their drones.
This day September 18, 2025 two strikes on a tent and on an old car in the region of Kidal more precisely #djanchaché
Details: Two women and three children have died..
More updates – The content of the official statement from the Malian Armed Forces on the events that occurred on September 18, 2025, in Djencheché (Kidal region) is definitely fake news and does not correspond to the reality.
According to testimonies gathered on-site, (and evidenced by videos and pictures) the first strike injured a civilian man and also destroyed his car. The second strike killed 2 women and 3 children in a tent.
“Suspects in a tent” as stated in the official statement from the Malian Armed Forces.
So, the Malian army claims destroying a pickup vehicle today in Kidal region, and striking a group of ‘suspicious individuals in a tent’, but graphic images shows the reailty. They do not target the terrorists in the center and the south, instead they target civilians in the north, in Azawad.
Images of the victims of the Famas terrorist strike. They bomb women and children, as well as animals, while calling them terrorists.
The junta in Bamako are not fighting terrorism. While armed men are blocking roads and burning tanker trucks in the far south, the Malian army is shelling women and children in tents in the far north, in Azawad.
