Talk:Arab Movement of Azawad

Previous history of the National Liberation Front of Azawad
I came across a number of sources   that stated that a "National Liberation Front of Azawad" existed in northern Mali in the 1990s. However, only one of them, here, made an explicit claim that the NLFA of the 1990s was the same organization as the one described in this article. All other sites that I've found have claimed that the NLFA/MAA currently operating in Mali was newly formed in 2012. Since I couldn't find a descriptive source to provide clarification on the matter, I didn't put anything about it into the article. If the NLFA did previously exist and fought in Mali during the 1990s, and is related to the current MAA fighting in 2012-2013, a section should be added to the article regarding that.

Allies or enemies?
If I read the article on the wikipedia: Coordination of Azawad Movements, I will learn that the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad and the Arab Movement of Azawad are in the same coalition and are allies. On a detailed map of the war in Mali (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Mali_War_detailed_map) I learn that the Arab Movement of Azawad is part of a so-called The Plateforme and is an ally of the Imghad Tuareg Self-Defense Group. However, on the same map, I also learn that the Arab Movement of Azawad is part of the aforementioned Coordination of Azawad Movements and are allies of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad. The article on wikipedia: Imghad Tuareg Self-Defense Group and Allies states that they are allies of the Arab Movement of Azawad and the article: Arab Movement of Azawad states that they are opponents of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad. There are simply many inconsistencies in these articles and I do not know whether the Arab Movement of Azawad is part of the so-called The Plateforme (GATIA, MAA-Plateforme) or the Coordination of Azawad Movements (The National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA)). The High Council for Unity of Azawad (HCUA) The Arab Movement of Azawad (MAA) The Coordination of Patriotic Resistance Movements and Forces (CMFPR) The Coalition for the People of Azawad (CPA))
