He asserts that the Tuaregs and Arabs of Azawad are not terrorists and should not be confused with the real terrorist groups.

And that the ruling junta in Mali is fueling violence, spreading desinformation by blurring who is a terrorist and who is not, and are relying on the mercenaries from Russia’s Wagner Group. – officially considered a terrorist group in the United Kingdom.
This video also shows that the Azawad cause is not an isolated issue!
From the page of Akli Sh*kka:
Mongi Hamdi, former Tunisian Foreign Minister, UN Special Envoy to Mali, and architect of the 2015 Algiers Agreement between Azawad movements and the Malian government, gave his historic testimony to France 24 English.
This testimony is unique in the 54-year history of the Azawad-Malian conflict. For the first time, Hamdi stated that the international community saved Mali from falling into the hands of the Azawad in 2012, and that without the intervention of France and Algeria, Bamako would not be part of Azawad today. In his historic testimony, which is the first official testimony from an international figure relied upon by the international community today to defuse conflicts in one of the world’s most complex and intertwined regions, Hamdi added that the Azawadi people are not the terrorists that the international media portrays them to be, but rather a people struggling for legitimate rights and a just cause.
