The rebellion began with mutinies by Tuareg officers integrated into the Malian army following the Tuareg rebellion of the 1990s, and mediation between the Malian government and the May 23, 2006 Democratic Alliance for Change (ADC) began immediately afterwards. The mediation culminated in the Algiers Accords of 2006, although the same Tuareg leaders during the 2006 rebellion went on to ally with Nigerien Tuareg rebels during the Tuareg rebellion of 2007 to 2009. Background The Tuareg rebellion of the 1990s ended with the signing of a National Pact in 1996, with one of the provisions being the reintegration of Tuareg rebels into the Malian Army.Ouazani Cherif March 19, 2007 Histoire d'un conflit fratricide https://www.jeuneafrique.com/92627/archives-thematique/histoire-d-un-conflit-fratricide/ April 22, 2024 Jeune Afrique In 2006, Kel Adagh Tuaregs of Kidal Region took issue with the promotion of El Hadj Ag Gamou, an Imghad Tuareg; considered by Kel Adagh to be a servile class.Pezard Stephanie A Brief History of Maliʹs Rebellions and the Implementation of Peace Accords 2015 Achieving Peace in Northern Mali 5–22 https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7249/j.ctt15zc57q.9 2024-04-22 Past Agreements, Local Conflicts, and the Prospects for a Durable Settlement RAND Corporation 978-0-8330-8823-9 Shurkin Michael 10.7249/j.ctt15zc57q.9 This promotion prompted members of the Ifergenoussen sub-clan of Kel Adagh to form the May 23, 2006 Democratic Alliance for Change, focused on gaining more autonomy for Kidal Region.Notin Jean-Christophe La guerre du France au Mali 2014 Rebellion The rebellion began on May 23, 2006, at the Malian army bases in Kidal and Menaka, with ADC-affiliated Tuareg officers mutinying and looting arms at their bases. The rebels then retreated to remote bases in the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains in northern Kidal Region. The ADC was led by Hassan Ag Fagaga, who had been passed over for promotion in favor of Gamou, and Ibrahim Ag Bahanga, Iyad Ag Ghaly, and Ahmada Ag Bibi joined the group shortly afterward. Ghaly took the reins of the rebellion early on and attracted many Ifergenoussen rebels, although the group was not entirely Ifergenoussen. One of the leaders of the uprising, Hassan Ag Fagaga, demanded "special status" for the northern regions of Mali, which was traditionally called Azawad by local populationBamada.net Hassan Ag Fagaga : la rébellion dans le sang !

Malian authorities quickly entered negotiations with the ADC immediately after the rebellion's start, and offered concessions very similar to those outlined in the National Pact and the Tamanrasset Accords.Sana Eros 5.

During the renewed negotiations, Algeria forced the ADC to drop their demands for autonomy, while forcing Malian officials to drop their demands of a ban on contacting Tuareg organizations in other countries. These negotiations culminated in the Algiers Accords of 2006 on July 4, 2006. Malian elites disliked the accords, and attempted to stall its implementation. Aftermath The rebellion ended with the Algiers Accords, although Fagaga, Bahanga, Ghaly, and Bibi all helped lead the ADC in a renewed rebellion that began in 2007. From July to October 2006, the ADC and the jihadist Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat clashed multiple times across Mali, with Ghaly uniting various Tuareg groups against the GSPC.
