Since 1916 there have been at least five Tuareg rebellions.

With the Tuareg Rebellion and the military coup, the case has been delayed further.

As a result, the governments of the two nations began to take markedly different strategies for confronting the Tuareg rebellion.

It was twice the scene on heavy fighting during the Tuareg Rebellion (2007-present).

It was built on the spot where 3000 weapons were ceremonially burnt at the end of the Tuareg rebellion.

The region saw Tuareg Rebellions in 1963-1964 and in 1990-1991.

The region was controlled by rebel forces during the 1961-1964, 1990-1995, 2007-2009, and the 2011-present Tuareg Rebellions.

But the development coincided with a growing Tuareg rebellion against the Malian government.

The project was interrupted by the Tuareg Rebellion (1990-1995).

Since the start of the Tuareg rebellion in January 2012, an estimated 250,000 former inhabitants have fled the territory.
