Rock singer who won the Grammy’s deadliest al-Qaeda leader: Who is the biggest terrorist in West Africa?
iyad ag ghali’s life is a member of the rock band who wrote lyrics for the blues rock band in the Sahara and drummed in temporary metal barrels and roamed the Nighclubs in West Africa. Starting with a rock band player in the world tour, he became the most terrifying al-Qaeda in Sahara, who banned music and replaced metal rock music with guns and weapons.
Early Life of IYAD AG GHALI
Ghali is a young Tuareg, a Berber tribe, boy whose father died in 1963 due to rebellion. He grew up in Bamako, Mali, a country in West Africa. Mali, which had ruled for decades in France, gained independence in 1960, and the group has since launched a failed rebellion against the new government. Ghali joined them in search of independence from Mali.
He even received military training shortly afterwards and came out as a fighter and a key leader in the Tuareg cause. While living in a refugee camp, he was influenced by a musician who called himself Taghreft Tinariwen – “Desert Radio”. The Tinariwen Group injects hope and rebels into Tuaregs, music rebels into new languages.
Ghali provided them with music equipment and space and became part of the group. The group then went on to win the Grammy Awards, playing the world with Zeplins’ Bono and Robert Plant. However, Ag Ghali later separated from them. In 1990, Ghali led the Tuareg uprising, which stopped after signing a ceasefire in 1991 and became the face of rebellion. His purpose then disappeared. In the same decade, a group of white Pakistani missionaries arrived in northern Mali from Tablighi Jama’at. They influenced the young Iyad Ag Ghali with their message of Islamic extremism, and they changed drastically.
From guitarist to gunman, Ghali’s journey as Muslim leader
Ghali left the guitar, music, his nightclub outing, and a firm Muslim expression with his beard and Quran. His lifestyle completely changed the man who often went to nightclubs, and Galley began visiting the mosque, where he met extremists. He talked about Sharia law, opening a new extremist organization, NSAR DINE – “Defender of Faith”.
In 2012, Ghali organized troops with Tuareg and Islamic combatants, who spread across northern Mali and took over major cities. He forbids music in these areas and burns down the instruments he once played. He even destroyed the ancient Sophie shrine and ordered women to stay indoors. The city is trapped in a bleak, faith-based dystopia.
In 2017, Galli’s activities became increasingly extremist. He brought together many al-Qaeda-related groups to Jamat Islamic Islamic Wall Muslim (JNIM) and declared himself to be its leader. His sales of JNIM is more “reasonable” than ISIS. But his activities were not dull when he killed villagers and those who resisted and kidnapped women. In a serious incident, his soldiers killed 600 people to dig trenches to defend. The cruel government left the government behind. In his 1970s, the International Criminal Court (ICC) released an arrest warrant.
