| | Berber languages: Information From Answers.com |
 | | Among the Berber languages are Tarifit or Riffi (northern Morocco), Kabyle (Algeria) and Tachelhit (central Morocco). | | | This state of affairs was protested by Berbers in Morocco and Algeria - especially Kabylie - and is now being addressed in both countries by introducing Berber language education and by recognizing Berber as a "national language", though not necessarily an official one. | | | After independence, all the Maghreb countries to varying degrees pursued a policy of "Arabization", aimed primarily at displacing French from its colonial position as the dominant language of education and literacy, but under which teaching, and use in certain highly public spheres, of both Berber languages and Maghrebi Arabic dialect have been suppressed as well. |

| | YWAM Sahara - Algerian Arabs |
| | Dominance and respect have been given to the Arab influence, especially because they carry the revered language of Islam, and the Arabs have inter-married with some of the Berbers, having a great influence on developing Algerian society. | | | There are a growing number of Christian believers amongst the Algerian Arabs, though they are not as numerous as those from the Kabyle Berber neighbours. | | | Neighbour relations: Urban Arabs are more apt to identify with the Algerian nation, whereas the ethnic loyalties of the remote rural and nomadic Arabs are likely to be limited to the tribe. |

| | In a tardy explanation which clearly failed to convince Kabyle public opinion, the Algerian authorities said a machine gun had accidentally gone off after slipping out of a gendarme's hands. | | | Demonstrators chanted familiar slogans of "pouvoir assassin" and "gouvernement terroriste, corrompu" -- the authorities are assassins, terrorists and corrupt. | | | Long Live the Martyr!" in Middle East Report 208 (Fall 1998), examines the disturbances in Kabylia following the killing of Lounes Matoub. |

| | The Kabylie Erupts: Algeria's Berbers Are Heard From, May 4, 2001 |
| | Among some Algerian nationalists there came to be a stereotyping of the Kabyles as somehow more pro-French, though in fact Kabyle leaders were involved in the revolutionary movement from its beginnings. | | | On April 19, the Berber Cultural Movement (MCB), an activist group which seeks to promote recognition of the Tamazight language as an official Algerian language alongside Arabic (and which has close links to the two main Berber political parties), staged major demonstrations in Tizi-Ouzo, bringing some 10,000 marchers into the street. | | | As demonstrations spread, the Gendarmerie arrested more young people, some of whom were allegedly beaten or mistreated in custody; that led to new demonstrations. |

| | Salem Chaker: More than a suggestion, a necessity! |
| | It is advisable here to specifically refute the pulsating argument, emanating from "democratic" circles, according to whom the Amazigh question is nothing more than a problem of democracy, which would naturally find its solution within the framework of a national democratic alternative, and that it need not isolate itself from the democratic struggle. | | | We speak, indeed, of autonomy because we each know that the historic, social, and human links between Kabylia and the rest of Algeria are broad and deep: nobody thinks of denying this reality and of lauding secession and independence. | | | In fact, since independence the Algerian political system has steadily taken over the discourse and practices of the French colonial State: extreme centralization, authoritarianism, externalization of the society, reinforced by a total contempt of the people, considered immature, and a culture profoundly anchored in force and violence as instruments of political management. |
