COMBATTING TERRORISM WITHOUT DISTORTING THE TRUTH! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a repost from the page of \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0632\u0648\u0627\u062f\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0641\u062a\u0649 (Azawad Media Agency – AMA) of a great article from the Comrade’s page Abdul Jalil Alansary. Combatting Terrorism .. Yes, but without distorting the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

#Bamako recently witnessed the launch of a program to combat #terrorism launched by the Islamic Military Alliance, in the presence of delegations from #Saudi Arabia and #Mali, and a number of security officials. This kind of cooperation is very important, because terrorism actually poses a great danger to the civilians in Mali, especially in the #Azwad region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We value the role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in supporting security and stability, and we hope that such initiatives contribute to supporting a deeper understanding of the reality of the situation in the north of Mali, Azawad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Russian #Wagner mercenaries are in Mali, committing serious violations against civilians, especially in the middle and north of the country, yet the government does not describe them as terrorists, even though their actions apply all standards of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fighting terrorism is not only in words, not in alliances, but in justice and honesty. We cannot fight terrorism, ignore injustice and marginalization, or be silent about those who kill civilians in uniform or under the cover of a state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we support everyone who stands against extremist groups that kill people and destroy communities, but at the same time, we demand the world to understand our case in Azwad, and to know the difference between those who claim their rights and those who really cultivate terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE by Azawad Support Group: The world should be made aware of this distinction which the Malian government is trying to blur. One of the reasons why we are sharing this article here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent interview<\/a> with former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tunisia, former Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the UN in Mali and former head of MINUSMA on France24<\/a>, also points out that the people of Azawad are fighting a legitimate struggle for self-determination. That the Tuaregs and Arabs of Azawad are not terrorists and should not be confused with actual terrorist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that the people of Azawad only ask to live in peace and dignity on their land, with the same rights as any other people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That the massacres they are suffering are unjust. 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<\/a>. – officially considered a terrorist group in the United Kingdom. Known for their extreme inhuman violence towards civilian people as a way to bring terror and fear since death is their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the page of Akli Sh*kka:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azwadi movements, such as the Azwad Liberation Front, did not target civilians, were never part of extremist groups, but signed the Algeria Peace Agreement and expanded political solutions. Classifying them as a terrorist is an unjustified mix-up, and an insult to the real efforts to combat terrorism.
