Iyad Ag Ghaly (Arabic: إياد أغ غالي, sometimes romanised as Ag Ghali), also known as Abū al-Faḍl (Arabic: أبو الفضل),[4] is a Tuareg Islamist militant from Mali's Kidal Region.[5][6] He has been active in Tuareg rebellions against the Malian government since the 1980s – particularly in the early 1990s. In 1988, he founded the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Azawad.[7] In the latest episode of the Tuareg upheavals in 2012, he featured as the founder and leader of the Islamist militant group Ansar Dine.[8]
Born in 1954 into a noble family of the Ifogha tribal group (an influential Tuareg clan in the Kidal region[6]), his gift for strategic thinking allegedly earned him the nickname, the Strategist.[1][2] Sometime between 2005 and 2008, he was appointed as one of Mali's diplomats to Saudi Arabia.[9]
