Hakim do you mean that since the overwhelming majority of Berbers in Algeria speak Arabic ….this also means that we are occupied by Arabs ?

I just don’t see the logic in that?..People in North Africa Spoke Latin, Punic and later Arabic since about 1400 years… do you want us all to stop speaking Arabic and start learning Kabyle ?
Suppose we did … what effect would that have on our economy ? ….. ahhh wait .. I know what you’re thinking …. you’re going to say .. “ we can keep French as backup”

Come on! Be real !… the only people who can save kabyle language and culture are the kabyles themselves .. So stop blaming everyone else.

As for the Torture in Algeria …. All I can say is “kabyles aren’t treated any differently to anyone else”, my guess would be that most who have been tortured are Islamist terror suspects.

It’s a shameful thing for any state to allow such practice and I hope those who are responsible will one day face justice and pay for their crimes, there is no justification for these Barbaric treatment in any society.
