Abstract

Being a Tuareg in Mali. The regional diversity of Malian Tuaregs is described after a general presentation of their area, common culture, stereotypes. The revolts in the past, as the one of Firboun, the heroe of 1916, and then another one in the Adrar of Iforas in 1963-64 against the government of Modibo Keita are followed by the revolt which has lasted since 1990 in Niger and Mali with warriors of some skill in arms and cars. Attacks and wild repression followed one another in a spiral of violence which leads to a massive exodus of the Tuaregs to Mauritania and South of Algeria. The fall of Moussa Traoré, the pact signed in april 1992, the election of Alpha Oumar Konaré, give great hopes but cannot heal the wounds between the Arabo-Berbers and the other part of the country.
