Témoust Liberation Front

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Témoust Liberation Front ( French Front de Liberation Témoust , FLT for short ), also Tamoust Liberation Front ( French : Front de Liberation Tamoust ), was a paramilitary organization in Niger .

The Témoust Liberation Front was one of the most important irredentist Tuareg organizations of the 1990s, responsible for attacks against state and private institutions. It emerged in June 1993 as a split from the Aïr and Azawad Liberation Front . Their leader was Mano Dayak . Témoust or Tamoust means “identity” in the Tuareg language . The Témoust Liberation Front coordinated from September 1993 with other Tuareg paramilitaries, including the Liberation Front of the Aïr and Azawad, in the coordination of the armed resistance . The Témoust Liberation Front was not involved in its successor organization, the Armed Resistance Organization , which signed a peace agreement with the Niger government on April 24, 1995. After Dayak's death in December 1995, Mohammed Akotey took over the leadership of the Témoust Liberation Front. As a result of the additional treaties of Algiers in 1997, the Témoust Liberation Front was dissolved. Its former spokesman, Aoutchiki Kriska, was appointed special advisor to President Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara for Tuareg affairs at the end of 1997 .
