Gao Shengtai (died 1096) was the ruler of the Dazhong Kingdom (1094–1096).
 He was from Cang Mountain in the present-day southern Chinese province of Yunnan.
 In 1080, Duan Lianyi, the 12th ruler of the Dali Kingdom, was overthrown and killed by Yang Yizhen, who seized the throne from him.
 Gao Shengtai and his father, Gao Zhisheng, the Marquis of Shanchan (in present-day Kunming, Yunnan), led military forces to attack Yang Yizhen and defeated him.
 They restored the Dali monarchy by installing Duan Shouhui on the throne.
 However, in 1081, Gao Zhisheng and Gao Shengtai forced Duan Shouhui to abdicate and replaced him with Duan Zhengming.
 In 1094, Gao Shengtai forced Duan Zhengming to relinquish the throne to him, after which he renamed the Dali Kingdom to "Dazhong Kingdom" with the era name "Shangzhi".
 He died of illness in 1096.
 Before his death, he instructed his son, Gao Taiming, to return the throne to the Duan family.
 Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengming's younger brother, became the new ruler and he restored the kingdom's former name.
 In spite of this power transition, Gao Shengtai's relatives and descendants still occupied highly influential positions in the Dali Kingdom after his death.
 Gao Shengtai was given the posthumous name "Fuyou Shengde Biaozheng Emperor".

The Internal conflict in Azawad has been a two-year-long insurgency in Northern Mali between a pro-independence ultra Nationalist group, the MNLA and a coalition of Islamists terror groups.
 The conflict began when Northern Mali declared itself independent from the government creating the un-recognized state of Azawad.
 Both the Islamists and MNLA formed an alliance in combatting the Malian government.
 An internal conflict sprung up over the imposing of sharia law in the new state and the MNLA distancing itself from the coalition to a democratic state.
 Islamists gained popularity amongst anti-Tuareg tribes that helped it overthrow MNLA authority in Gao.
 Both sides clashed repeatedly leading to the Battle of Gao where the MNLA were driven from the North's two main cities, Gao and Timbuktu.
 The MNLA soon lost all of its strongholds in the North in a matter of months.
 They went into hiding secretly gaining support and strength.
 The beginning of 2013 led the start of the French intervention in Mali that ousted the Islamists from the North's cities and brought back Malian authority.
 The MNLA supported the French and Chadian forces in military operations against Islamists sanctuaries in the mountains.
 The MNLA recaptured several important towns in the Kidal Region but refused to dis-arm or hand them over to the Malian government.
 A series of Islamists sponsored terror attacks plagued MNLA forces for siding with the French.
 Checkpoints and bases were targeted with suicide bombings that targeted MNLA members.
 A peace deal was reached with the Malian army in June that let the army transverse freely in MNLA occupied zones that were under Malian jurisdiction.
 Ethnic violence sprung over the murder of a Tuareg Government officers family.
 The MNLA responded by harassing and murdering Fulani civilians who create a majority of Islamists rebels.
 The Islamists stepped up their attacks in one such instance massacring 30 Tuareg merchants.
 The MNLA has since been battling Islamists.
