Organization of armed resistance

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Organization of the Armed Resistance ( French : Organization de la Résistance Armée , ORA for short ) was an association of paramilitary organizations in Niger .

The Organization of Armed Resistance was the successor organization to the Armed Resistance Coordination , which brought together several irredentist Tuareg organizations. It was founded on March 28, 1995 under the leadership of Rhissa Ag Boula . The establishment was preceded by differences of opinion between Mano Dayak , the chairman of the coordination of the armed resistance, and Rhissa Ag Boula, who was the military director of the coordination. Dayak was no longer a member of the successor organization. Its five founding organizations were the Aïr and Azawad Liberation Front , the Patriotic Front for the Liberation of the Sahara , the Revolutionary Army for the Liberation of North Niger and two factions of the latter. It differed from its predecessor in that its members were less cohesive. The armed resistance organization signed a peace treaty on April 24, 1995 with the government of Prime Minister Hama Amadou . The peace treaty provided for the former fighters to be integrated into state military and paramilitary organizations. However, individual Tuareg groups continued their attacks on travelers in the north of the country sporadically. The Patriotic Front for the Liberation of the Sahara, dissatisfied with the implementation of the peace agreement, left the Alliance in 1996. After additional agreements were signed with the Nigerien government in Algiers in 1997 , the organization of armed resistance disbanded.
