 * Length, creation fine. Is long enough. " The Tuareg groups were also said to have once been closely affiliated and controlled by the Département du Renseignement et de la Sécurité, Algeria's intelligence agency, but then chartered a more independent course." should be cited or removed. Plagiarism spotchecks and referencing fine. I'd say interest was OK, not exceptional. I think the hook could be shortened by " the civil war in Libya " becoming " the 2011 Libyan civil war" as I don't think a Libya link is necessary (also added an optional, but I think preferable, comma):

Mostly good but that unsourced sentence and your views on the ALT warranted. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 15:27, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Okey will remove the contentious part since no source has come. Would also add "mostly" before "for" and after "fighters" as not all came from there.Lihaas (talk) 02:51, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I suggest "...fighters (mostly for the defeated government)..." Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 20:45, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg The problem : ok a lot of MNLA's fighters were employed by Kadhafi... but a lot of fighters of the Malian army as well were trained with Kadhafi troops! Why would Wikipedia emphazes on the MNLA and not the Malian troops returning from Libya ? Otherwise it's fine. --BabyFoot (talk) 10:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
