The Coordination of Azawad Movements (French: Coordination des mouvements de l'Azawad (CMA); Tamasheq: ⵜⴰⵙⵈ ⵏ ⵜⵏⴰⴾⵔⵢⵓⵏ ⵜⵢⵏ ⴰⵣⴰⵓⴰⴷ; Arabic: تنسيقية الحركات الأزوادية) is a large coalition of Tuareg independentist and Arab nationalist groups that formed in Mali during the Northern Mali conflict in 2014.
Organization
See also: Ouagadagou DeclarationThe CMA was founded on 28 October 2014 as an alliance of three separate rebel groups:
- The National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA)
- The High Council for the Unity of Azawad (HCUA)
- A faction of the Arab Movement of Azawad (MAA) active in and around the Timbuktu Region
Other groups claim to belong to the CMA but are not recognized by its founding members:
- The Coordination of Patriotic Resistance Movements and Forces [fr] (CMFPR)
- The Coalition of the People of Azawad (CPA)
- The Movement for the Salvation of Azawad (MSA)
The CMA formed the Permanent Strategic Framework for Peace, Security, and Development (CSP-PSD) coalition with Platform in 2021. Platform withdrew from the CSP-PSD in 2024.
The CMA is chaired by Ibrahim Ould Handa as of 2023. Sidi Brahim Ould Sidati, president of the CMA from 2017 to 2018, was assassinated in Bamako on April 13, 2021.
