==Ideology== Ansar Dine seeks to impose strict Sharia law across Mali, including the Azawad region. Witnesses have said that Ansar Dine fighters wear long beards and fly black flags with the Shahada (Islamic creed) inscribed in white. According to different reports, unlike the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), Ansar Dine does not seek independence but rather to keep Mali intact and convert it into a rigid theocracy. Ansar Dine has its main base among the Ifora tribe from the southern part of the Tuaregs' homeland. The group's members are reported to be from Mali, Algeria, and Nigeria. Omar Ould Hamaha, who served as Ansar Dine's spokesman after April 2012, became the military leader of the AQIM-affiliated [[Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa]] (MOJWA) in August 2012.
