84. Helen Hagan - The Importance Of International Alliances For The Amazigh THE AMAZIGH MOVEMENT AND OTHER indigenous PEOPLE. not only with other groupsof Imazighen, but with indigenous people of africa and the world at large. http://www.tazzla.org/unpres.htm

Presentation by: HELENE E. HAGAN TAZZLA INSTITUTE FOR CULTURAL DIVERSITY BURBANK, CA. 91604, USA THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCES FOR THE AMAZIGH MOVEMENT OF NORTH AFRICA Summary: In this presentation, I will first introduce the Imazighen, and the Amazigh culture of the thirty million or so autochthonous people of North Africa. I will review the various local, national and international branches of our fast growing international movement, and the manner in which means of communication and international alliances have formed and serve the communities of base in North Africa and sub-Saharan countries, the "Diaspora" of Europe, and the Amazigh communities of Canada and the United States. Amazigh culture and Imazighen of Africa. "Amazigh" means "Free Human Being," and Imazighen means "Free Human Beings," "Tamazgha" means the Amazigh territory which extends from the Oasis of Siwa and the banks of the Nile in Egypt to Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, the Canary Islands off the shore of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, the Sahara, and sub-Saharan countries of Niger, Mali, Burkina-Faso and Mauritania. The language spoken by all these groups, in different dialects of it, is Tamazight. We are a minority in all of these nation states, except in Morocco where the odd case of a majority of indigenous people live under Arabic rule. In all of these states, the ruling powers exercise iron-fisted policies toward our people, and the struggle for Amazigh linguistic, cultural, and democratic rights is an ongoing one. This struggle involves different countries, and different problems and solutions, but it is one and the same for all Imazighen: freedom of expression, linguistic, cultural and human rights. The suppression takes different aspects, but is always a major one, sometimes a bloody one, as the events in Algeria of the past year and of today witness, and the struggle of Tuaregs in Niger has proved to be, where Peace Accords with the government has followed several years of massacres and armed rebellion.

95. Homepage\Africa North africa can be divided into two subregions Egypt and the Nile Basin and The However, in the 11th century, the indigenous people, the Berbers, http://www.list.org/~mdoyle/Africa.html

NORTHERN AFRICA North Africa can be divided into two sub-regions: Egypt and the Nile Basin and The Maghreb and its neighbors. Egypt is one of the most populous countries in the Middle East. It is the historic focus of this part of the world and a major political and cultural force. It shares with its southern neighbor, Sudan, the waters of the Nile River. Western North Africa (called the Maghreb ) and the areas that border it also form a region, consisting of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Morocco. After the death of Muhammed in 632 CE, Arab armies carried Islam thoughout North Africa. Islamic and Arab culture has had a significant impact on North Africa. This culture, coupled with the semi-arid and arid climate of the area, and the presence of oil, makes North Africa more similar in nature to Southwest Asia than with the black tribal culture of tropical Sub-Saharan Africa. ALGERIA The earliest known inhabitants of Algeria were the Berbers . They were followed by the sea-faring Phoenicians and the Romans who set up colonies along the North African coast. These colonies were overrun by the Arabs in 7th century CE and later became part of the Moorish empire. In the 16th century the area was taken over by the Ottoman Empire. Algiers was a semi-indepenent Ottoman city-state and home of the Barbary Pirates, who preyed on the merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea. In 1839 France launched an invasion and deposed the Turks and established the French colony of Algeria. Following World War II, Algeria fought a bloody eight-year war of independence from France. Since 1992, Algerian citizens and foreigners have been killed by Islamic fundamentalists who are fighting to oust the secular, military- led government. It is estimated that since 1992, 60,000 people have been killed ;1,100 people have been killed in the last year. (

96. Dhimmi Watch: Anti-dhimmitude Among The Berbers berber activists say all Moroccans are berbers but that berber influence in from the peaceful indigenous people to impose the new religion (Islam). http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/000687.php

Main January 20, 2004 Anti-dhimmitude among the Berbers With Islamization comes Arabization. Since Arabic is the language of Allah and of his Qur'an, and the last and greatest Prophet was an Arab, Arab culture tends to spread with the spread of Islam. Islam then teaches that the pre-Islamic culture of any Islamic people is worthless: jahiliya, the pre-Islamic period of ignorance. This has led Muslims in Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere to denigrate and ignore what the rest of the world regards as immense cultural treasures. But among the North African Berbers today, there is a counter-movement. This from Reuters , with thanks to Fanabba: "We're not Arabs, bring out the real history," chanted hundreds of Moroccan Berbers during Labor Day marches this year. In the capital Rabat, passers-by showed mixed reactions to the unusual sight of Berbers shouting slogans in their Tamazight language and carrying banners written in Tifinagh, the Berber script. Some expressed sympathy while others wondered why the Berbers were denying what has been their country's official identity for more than 14 centuries. "Why did police allow them to march? And here in Rabat?" one asked.

African Unification Front HOME AUF STRUCTURE AUF IDEOLOGY AUF PROVISIONS ... URGENT ACTION ALERT printable version BIRTH OF AN AFRICAN DISSIDENT MOVEMENT THE AMAZIGH RESISTENCE OF NORTH AFRICA The Berbers are found in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Egypt. Berbers make up some 40 percent of the Moroccan population, and some 25 and 35 percent of the populations of Algeria and Tunisia, respectively. The vast majority of North Africans have ancestry even though they are not self-identified as Berber. Berber languages are concentrated in the mountainous areas which have best resisted Arabization, except in the case of the deep Sahara. The whole of North Africa spoke Berber languages at one time, while in the Middle Ages they occupied much of Spain and Sicily as well. Between the 11th and 13th centuries, two great Berber dynasties - the Almoravids and the Almohads - controlled large parts of Spain, as well as north-west Africa. Berbers prefer the term "Amazigh," instead of "Berber" because "Berber" derives from "Barbara," the Greek term for barbarian, later adopted by Romans and Arabs. the word Berber is also associated with the people from the land of Ber, the son of biblical figure Ham. Berbers have lived in North Africa since at least 3000 B.C.E. Berbers number over 15 million people. Many Berber confederacies in North Africa resisted Arab rule; the revolt led by the Berber queen Kahina in the 7th century is just one of the best known. Berbers confederacies entered semiautonomous alliances with Roman, Vandal and Islamic rulers, maintaining a decentralized tradition of rule. The mass migrations through the region of Arabs (particularly the Banu Hilal), which began in the 9th century, led to the gradual conversion of most Berbers to Islam. Many Berbers also began to speak Arabic.
