Though they had committed in October of 1994 to end the conflict within six months, both sides continued to engage in violence. The Islamic Arab Front of Azawad was the only Tuareg group still thought to be in open conflict with the government. In January of 1995, the government army announced that they had captured the Ti-n-Edemba, headquarters of FIAA (Islamic Arab Front of Azawad). Tuareg rebels also launched three mortar bombs in Timbuktu 1. By the end of the year, however, violence had abated sufficiently. Most of the armed combatants had presented themselves and surrendered weapons in one of the four cantonment sites. 2
