Tuaregs have been direct victims of Al-Qaida&#8217;s violence, with ongoing conflicts that highlight their adversarial relationship. Al-Qaida has repeatedly attacked secular Tuareg leaders, including Bilal Ag Acherif, in efforts to weaken the Tuareg influence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;Significant battles have occurred between the Tuaregs and Al-Qaida in places like Gao (2012), Timbuktu (2012), Kidal (2015), and even as recently as early 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In the Sahel, it&#8217;s widely understood that Algeria, which has strategic interests in traditional Tuareg lands (and control over a piece of their land), has manipulated this situation by supporting Al-Qaida to discredit the Tuareg cause. This tactic portrays Tuaregs as hostile to the West, despite their history of tolerance and deep-rooted matriarchal culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The truth is clear: Tuaregs have nothing to do with Al-Qaida and, in fact, stand opposed to it, rejecting both its ideology and its presence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-wide wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Azawad Support Group 06-11-24<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-bbc451ac11c6172b04f7e896fe0623f8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/\">H  O  M  E<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times recently published an interesting article about the battle of Tinzawaten and that the loss is the largest and deadliest loss ever for Wagner in Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[232,140,162],"tags":[107,214,168,169,282,280,281,215,170,163,117],"class_list":["post-3209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-africa","category-azawad-news","category-tinzawatine-azawad","tag-azawad","tag-azawad_army","tag-battle-of-tinzawatine","tag-battle-of-tinzouatene","tag-csp_dpa","tag-newyorktimes","tag-nyt","tag-separatists","tag-tinzaouatene","tag-tinzawatine","tag-wagner"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3209"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3713,"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3209\/revisions\/3713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
