Tuareg Issues in Mali and Algeria: Demands and Risk of Armed Conflict

Many Tuaregs today, their leaders and others, are fully convinced that the main problem isn't really with Mali, but with Algeria. Why Algeria?

Algeria is trying to make the international community believe or others believe that this would be the case if this region were separated from Mali, perhaps the Tuaregs on the other side, in southern Algeria, would make the same demands.

That's what it's making the world believe.

Although, as I said, despite all the revolutions that have taken place in this region and in the area, the Tuaregs of Algeria and Libya have never even raised a hand or thrown a stone at the Algerian regime.

But someone is asking, “Professor, this matter— explain it to the viewers.” Go ahead, go ahead.

Let me just finish this sentence. But this, this, this matter…

I wouldn't rule it out now. I absolutely wouldn't rule out the Tuaregs changing this in particular in southern Algeria, and others taking up arms.

Honestly, I wouldn't rule that out because these regimes and these countries remain stubborn.

And it still wants to embody the idea Uh… and encourage the idea that we, I mean, aren’t citizens of this land, while at the same time wanting to convince the world that we’re a threat to it and refusing to recognize our rights,

So if this continues for more years, then the Algerian Tuareg will certainly demand they will take up arms.
