It is located in the north of the country, within the territory which the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad proclaimed to be the independent nation-state of Azawad on 6 April 2012. This independence has not been recognized by any country or international organization. It is currently under the control of different armed movements such as the Ansar Dine and MNLA. The Region's administrative capital is the town of Kidal.
