| [MAGHAREBIA] Recent infighting between two factions of the Arab Movement for Azawad (MAA) has prompted some group leaders to quit and call for security and stability in the region. In protest to the internal unrest, a group of MAA members on August 15th announced their withdrawal from the movement and the creation of the "Popular Front for the Salvation of Azawad". In a statement published by Sahara Media, MAA Spokesperson Boubacar Ould Taleb, Executive Bureau military attaché Dah Ould Bechir and political secretary Mohammed Amrani said the infighting had "wrongly and unnecessarily claimed the lives of many people...[this]comes as an expression of our desire to establish peace and stability in Azawad to meet the aspirations of the Azawadi people". |
