Mouvement national de libération de l’Azawad
Fact Sheet


by Julia Dufour, researcher at GRIP

22 May 2012

Abstract

The activities of various types of armed groups in West Africa represent a tremendous threat to the region’s stability, and hence require our utmost attention. These groups use violence for multiple purposes: religious fundamentalism, rebellion against the state, separatism... This datasheet considers the MNLA, one of the most active among them. It aims to provide information about the historical and ideological foundations of this Malian separatist movement, active since the beginning of 2012. It focuses on its complex structural organization and its goals. The most recent actions of this armed group are listed as well as its armament and its operation zone. This datasheet is part of a series of fact sheets published by the GRIP on armed groups in West Africa.

Key words : Mouvement national de libération de l’Azawad, West Africa, Mali, Tuareg, armed groups.
