The Popular Liberation Front of Azawad (in French: Front Populaire de Libération de l'Azawad) was one of several militant rebel groups active during the Tuareg Rebellion in northern Mali from 1990 to 1995.
[1][2][3] In January 1991, the government of Mali met with two of the main rebel groups in Tamanrasset to negotiate a cease-fire.
The FPLA, however, opposed the Tamanrasset Accords and continued their attacks.
On March 26, 1991, the government of Mali was overthrown in a military coup and a multi-party democracy was established.
Further agreements between the rebel groups and the government were signed in 1992 and 1995, effectively ending the rebellion.
