    Hamitic
    The Hamitic subfamily is generally considered to include ancient Egyptian (see Egyptian language) and its descendant, Coptic; the Berber languages; and the Cushitic languages. Ancient Egyptian and Coptic are extinct. Some linguists also place the Chad languages within the Hamitic subfamily. Those Hamitic tongues are or were spoken in N Africa, much of the Sahara, the Horn of E Africa, and parts of central and W Africa. They were named after Ham, the second son of the biblical Noah, whose descendants supposedly were the original speakers of the Hamitic languages.

Written intervention submitted by the International Indian Treaty Council The militarization of Indigenous lands was the direct cause of many human rights violations occurring throughout the world. The International Indian Treaty Council is extremely concerned about the role of nation/states in many of these often violent incidences where Indigenous Peoples are victimized, dislocated, or forced to defend what little resources are left for them and their families. The IITC has recently received the following information from impacted communities and non governmental organizations. We urgently call the attention of the members of the Commission to these grave situations facing Indigenous Peoples. In Guatemala, the National Coalition of Campesino Organizations (CNOC), including IITC affiliate Comite de Unidad Campesino (CUC), have presented a list of demands to the Guatemalan government that address concerns regarding the inefficiency of governmental institutions designed to address land conflicts and distribution, labor rights violators, and failure to comply with housing and rural development commitments made during the peace negotiation process.

    Conflict Today Dr. Andrew McGregor

    le Pouvoir Today, in the midst of a Berber cultural revival, many Kabyle Berber leaders represent the Arabs as the latest in a series of colonizers (there are smaller groups of Algerian Berbers in the Aures mountains and the Ouarseni Massif, but the Kabylians are the most politically active). It is a mistake to regard Berbers as an excluded minority, however. Berbers can be found in the highest levels of Algerian military, political, business and intellectual circles. hadiths (traditions) were fabricated which described the conversion of the Berbers by the Prophet Muhammad himself well before the Arab conquest. The Moroccan Bargawatiyya movement translated the Koran into Berber in the 10th century, but Sunni Muslim reformists destroyed their kingdom and burnt the offensive Berber Koran. The French, who conquered Kabylia in 1857, attempted to divide the Berbers from their Arab neighbours. The use of Berber customary law (

Because present-day Berbers and the overwhelming majority of the Arabs largely descend from the same indigenous stock, physical distinctions carry little or no social connotation and are in most instances impossible to make.

Identification with the Berber or Arab community is largely a matter of personal choice rather than of membership in discrete and bounded social entities. In addition to their own language, many adult Berbers also speak Arabic and French; for centuries Berbers have entered the general society and merged, within a generation or two, into the Arab group.

    Excerpts from 2005 North African Voices
    An Ancient and Mosaic Land by Nabil Boudraa
    We have purposely chosen the title “North African Voices” to represent, as accurately as possible, the diversity of North Africa, a region which stretches from Egypt to the Canary Islands, and from the Mediterranean shores to the desert plains of the Sahara
    This volume certainly does not constitute an anthology of North African poetry, but is rather a doorway to this rich culture which, unfortunately, still remain opaque and misunderstood today. Our purpose is then to provide a better understanding of this complex region and place the multiple layers of North African colonization into a patchwork that transcends nationalism and present-day political agendas. To that end, this literary and cultural sampling seeks to eschew the regimented discourses and polemics of political factions in order to validate the ancestral and ongoing personalities of North Africa.
    Since time immemorial, this Afro-Mediterranean land has been inhabited by the indigenous people known as

    Welcome to Morocco, an ancient and exotic land of both natural and created splendor. The "Kingdom of Morocco," as it is known, lies just 14 kilometers from Europe, on the Northwest edge of Africa. It is situated between the Atlantic Ocean on the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. Among the inhabitants of this richly cultured land are Arabs, black Africans, Jews, Spaniards and the Berbers Of these varied races, the bulk of the Moroccan population is made up of the Berbers. You may be wondering who the Berbers are, or you may already know of them and would like to learn more. Either way, the history and tradition of the Berbers in Morocco is an intriguing chapter in the world history book . In fact, to this day, they continue to play a significant role in the areas they inhabit, specifically Morocco.

    THE MOORS
    Who were they?

    The Moors are not a specific race of people. The word has never been clearly defined and remains ambiguous and confusing. This term has been broadly used to denote various people in North Africa, people who came from Morocco or simply to describe Muslims in general. Christians in the 13th century also referred to the Moors as "Moriscos" and "Mudejares".
    The word MOORS may have evolved from the Greek 'Mauros' which means 'dark'. The Greeks were in Spain around 500 BC, 300 years before the Romans . The Romans probably pinched it from the Greeks, complete with its original connotation of 'dark'. This might explain why the Latin 'Maurus' translates literally into 'Moors', with no further definition. Borrowing directly from the Greek meaning, this would have been good enough for the Romans to describe the 'dark' skinned people of North Africa. This is all conjecture of course, but its close enough for me.
    Circa 46 B. C., the Roman army entered West Africa where they encountered black Africans whom they called ‘Maures’ from the Greek adjective mauros, meaning dark or black.

    Introduction
    In LEGACY (117/605), Melissa Good used the title (not the name) of a real North African woman war leader as the name of her fictional woman leader, played by Alison Bruce. Good's Kahina led a coalition of tribes against the Romans in (apparently) the 1st Century C.E. In history, the Kahina, who may have been Jewish, led a coalition of Berber tribes against the Arabs in the late 7th Century.
    The Kahina in History
    The Berbers were the ancient indigenous people of North Africa west of Egypt. They were of many tribes, but they managed to maintain their culture, their Hamitic languages, and considerable military power during successive invasions of their land. North Africa was conquered by the Phoenicians (who became the Carthaginians), then the Romans, the Vandals (one of the Germanic tribes that destroyed the Roman Empire), the Byzantines, and finally the Arabs. Other foreigners, notably Greeks and Jews, also lived in ancient North Africa. In the 7th century, the Berbers lived in uneasy peace with the Byzantines, who ruled the coastal cities of North Africa, after defeating the Vandals a century before. The ancient city of Carthage was the Byzantine capital in Africa. Some Berbers were Christians (with a notable tendency towards heresy), some were Jewish, and some adhered to their ancient polytheist religion. Before the end of the century the Byzantines were driven from Africa and the Berbers faced a new religion and a new invader.
