– The Algerian system, which can not be reduced to the person of Bouteflika, is based on the racist, sexist and assimilationist ideology of Arab-Islamism whose mode of governance is based on social repression, the spoliation of public goods and large-scale corruption.

– Since the constitution of the criminal gang that is the Oudjda clan, the military institution has never stopped setting up and maintaining at the head of the Algerian state dictators of sad memory, including the execrable Boumediene.

– Bouteflika, which everyone decries now, was installed in the Algerian presidency by the military institution through the “last fraud of the century” organized, as a reminder, by Liamine Zeroual, himself installed at the head of the State by this same institution.

– Major General Gaid Salah, whom some “political” circles are trying to portray as the savior, has no fame to draw from this “resignation”. He has only sacrificed the window now cracked system to better spare the heart of the system, that is to say, himself and his acolytes. It should be remembered that Gaid Salah was the arm who attended the 4 mandates of the dictator Bouteflika in his dirty work. He supported the fifth term until the gigantic popular mobilization forced him to sacrifice his friend and ally, Bouteflika.

– Military and politicians who have applied, legitimized, sanctioned the Bouteflikism for 20 years can not pretend to change the system, they are the system.

– And finally, this system that we all want to release, we should first identify because it does not date from access to the power of Bouteflika but from 1962, embezzlement and the spoliation of Algerian independence and the ruthless war waged by the famous Oujda clan against Kabylia. At the end of 7 years of struggle against the French army, it is only that the valiant Kabylie fight the coup d’état of the army of the borders, the dictatorship of Ben Bella who after “Our ancestors the Gauls” of French colonialism , wanted to impose on us “Our ancestors the Arabs” of Arab-Islamic ideological imperialism.The popular mobilization that has been confirmed this Friday to refuse all forms of clan alternation and demand the departure of the system is encouraging, but it is imperative to define what the system. Kabylia, which is once again at the origin of this protest movement with the protests of Kherrata and many are trying to escape the trap, must learn from its history so that any possible change is not made to its detriment. In this sensitive phase, which can not be without effect or consequence on Kabylia, all our political, cultural, associative and civic structures are bound to agree on a political, social and cultural compromise, a minimum which would guarantee the respect of political identities while preserving the interests of Kabylia; it has always struggled and paid a high price for its ideals of freedom, justice and equity, and is justified in remaining vigilant in order to best protect its interests in order to face all possible scenarios.

I appeal to all the forces of Kabylia: Let us be attentive and caring but remain vigilant and protect our children, our history, our culture and our civilization.

KABYLIE (SIWEL) – Marches and rallies are taking place throughout Kabylia on March 8, 2019, coinciding with the International Women’s Day. The Kabyles mobilize in the name of a noble cause – the independence of Kabylia.
Kabylie reaffirms its fight and the rejection of the Algerian presidential election and its totalitarian power in Kabylie. We are here today to say that there will be no vote in Kabylia, as there was none in the first term, or for the second … and it’s the same for this fifth term. What happens in Algeria is of no interest to the Kabyles.
The Kabyle people will not yield the ground to intruders. We are always here. The numerous roadblocks of Algerian law enforcement agencies installed around the city of Tizi Ouzou could not prevent freedom activists from joining the demonstration – we are there, in force. Women are here today too, as it is their day. We pay tribute on March 8th to all Kabyle women, the pillars of Kabylia. The contribution of the Kabyle woman to Kabylia is invaluable and irrefutable, said Aksel Bellabbaci, a representative of the Movement for the Self-Determination of Kabylia (MAK).

Long live free and independent Kabylia.

This arrest is illegal and illegitimate against a man of culture, a prominent peaceful political actor, a man full of wisdom and humility.

We warn the illegitimate Algerian authorities in Kabylia against any damage to his physical or moral integrity, and we demand his immediate and unconditional release. These practices from another time against all Kabyle Independent activists must definitely stop.

We solemnly call upon the clairvoyant minds, if there still exist within the regime, to proceed as quickly as possible to the restoration of its sovereignty of the Kabyle people and thus to spare any further ordeal of dramatic confrontations to the two Kabyle and Algerian peoples.

The Algerian power (generals and religious leadership), or what remains of it, must be made clear that the determination of the generation of 2001 to tear off its freedom is no longer the same as the generation from 1963 or 1980 which failed. The regime must be inspired to lead to an amicable separation without bloodshed if it wants to save face after so many turpitudes, adventures or alliances of circumstances with deadly Islam against KABYLIE.

These daily kidnappings have been much discussed lately in the European Parliament with all parliamentarians met. All these violations will automatically escalate to international bodies.

Minister of Administration and Security
Kabyle Provisional Government in Exile (Anavad)

The international conference being held in Palermo, Italy, November 12 and 13, 2018, is an announced failure.

Called to stabilize this vast territory, a prey to chaos since the fall, in 2011, of the dictator Gaddafi, this conference is a sword in the water.

Italy and Europe who believe that the stabilization of Libya would be an effective way to close the road to the endless waves of migrants that sweep across the continent from the ports of this country do not seem to be facing reality .

First blind spot of this conference: Libya is dead. Nobody will resurrect it. Its time is over. Like most countries of colonization, it is composed of several peoples who are not ready to (re) live together until all of them have built their own sovereign state. Thus, the Amazighs of At Willul (Zwara) and Infusen (Nefoussa), the Ghazaouis, the Gadafi, theTuareg and the Toubous are distinct peoples who all aspire to a recognized international existence. If, one day, their common interest dictated them to form together a federation, they would come there by their own free will and not by an external injunction. No one can impose on them today a solution other than that of the right of peoples to self-determination.

Second blind spot: The invitation to this conference limited to two actors only, Serraj and Haftar can not bring peace. These two protagonists are fighting for a new dictatorial power over Libya.

But the Berbers of Zwara and Nefoussa (10% of the population) are armed and already have their own institutions like the Supreme Council of Amazighs. No solution other than their separate State can suit them.

The Tuaregs in the far west are a people shared by Libya, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and Algeria.

The Toubous (extreme south) are the masters of the Aouzou band.

Whatever the results of this meeting in Palermo, Europe is not even close to end the instability in the former Libya.

The right of peoples to self-determination remains the only way for freedom, democracy and international cooperation in peace for all. Kabylia, who claims it for itself, feels it is its duty to share it with all the people who deserve it.

Exile, November 12, 2018

Ferhat Mehenni
President of the Kabyle Provisional Government in Exile (Anavad)

This young Kabyle schoolgirl paid her life for the refusal of submission to the fascist doctrine of Islamists.
Her throat was slit in the middle of the day, on her way home from school. All because she refused to carry the muslim veil. Her name was Katia.
She was 17 years old, she was young, she was beautiful, she was brave and she refused to give in to the terror of the filthy bearded men who wants to subdue women.

This is why, in Kabylia, we categorically refuse to let anyone give us lessons on “tolerance” … Islamism is death in its most hideous form.

Rest in peace Katia

1) – The electoral process is, in absolute terms, nothing other than the exercise of the right to self-determination vis-à-vis British Europe. Thus, when one is a great nation that has its state (England is the first constitutional monarchy of the world, 1215?), their rights are respected by all partners.

2) – Separatism, through this example, is a virtue and not a vice to be condemned. It should remain including when projected by the Kabylie. The Kabylian people are respectable people just like everyone else. In spite of the hypocrite socialists which recognizes the right to independence and those who fit their vision, Kabylia does not suffer any problem of legitimacy to go to their freedom.

The Brexit teaches us that where people feels robbed of their freedom and their inalienable rights, where people feel too cramped in a country or group of countries, following the example of Britain within the EU, where people see vital interests trimmed and compromise, separatism is not only a right but also a duty. The United Kingdom comes to give us an important lesson.

3) – The United Kingdom comes in the last minute to save their skin, should at their turn, make an examination of conscience and apply to the people they dominate the rights that they themselves used vis-à-vis ‘Europe. Scots and Northern Irish have expressed their desire to stay in Europe, they must have the right to be respected for their choice.

4) – The countries who have to continue in the European Union and are crying scandale of this sovereign decision of the British people, should instead take up this same right of self-determination for both enforce the voice of Scots and Northern Irish who want to stay in Europe and, consequently, their desire to leave the UK.

5) – This right to self-determination can not be limited only to the European peoples; there is only one human race! It should be extended to people around the world who still feel dominated or colonized.

6) – Kabylia who, in countries emerging from decolonization, opens the peaceful march of authentic peoples towards their freedom, through the claim of the right to self-determination is to be taken seriously and helped so the geopolitical reconfiguration as globalization and democracy can be achieved without using this false shortcut that is violence.

ROBERT O’CONNOR

Kabylia sits at the northern tip of Africa, on the lip of the Mediterranean. It is home to some 7.5 million people, with footballing glitterati such as Karim Benzema and Zinedine Zidane part of a richly woven football heritage. Nominally, legally, these lands belong to Algeria.

But there is an “otherness” felt by the Kabylian Berbers about their place within Algeria. Ideologically, Kabylian people represent the possibility of a culturally pluralistic Algeria, an alternative to the more monolithic Arab-Islamic model of the country desired and pursued by the state government.

That feeling extends to football, says Lyes Imemmai, an Algerian national of Kabylian Berber heritage who is the head coach of a newly formed Kabylia national team. “They always tried to break us,” Imemmai says of the Algerian response. “It’s the independence movement that the Algerian police are afraid of, 100 percent.

“There is no possibility to talk football in Kabylia without touching the subject of independence.”

On April 15, thousands took to the Paris streets to lend their voices to the cause of Kabylian liberation, with the diaspora out in force in a gesture of solidarity.

For one man, the time for affirmative action had already arrived.

In March 2018, Aksel Bellabbaci sat in a cafe in his hometown, Tizi Ouzou, sipping coffee, preparing for a press conference that would never take place.

Four years earlier, he had watched Algeria compete in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. This team, he decided, represented a nation to which he could not relate. He saw nothing of his own proud Kabylian Berber heritage in what was a culturally and ethnically Arab Algerian side. Bellabbaci sat on the idea until June 2017, when the bell of opportunity began to toll.

At that same moment, in Paris, another Kabylian exile, a popular 1970s singer named Ferhat Mehenni, was learning about the existence of the Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA), a registered charity based in Sweden, offering the sport’s isolated and disenfranchised the chance to play competitive football.

Bellabbaci himself was the state secretary for sport in the Kabylian provisional government in exile, also based in Paris. Soon, he and Mehenni were exchanging notes. The road opened up for a new chapter in the Kabylian story: a national football team for Kabylia.

The third member of the founding triumvirate was Imemmai. He was at a ceremony in Brussels to mark the annual day of celebration of Kabylian culture when he first heard of the plans.

Preparations, he learned, had begun in Paris for a possible Kabylia team to represent the embattled territory at a football tournament in London for the unrecognized peoples of the world.

“That was when I first heard about Aksel,” Imemmai says of those early meetings in June 2017. “So I looked him up and said, ‘I’m available to help if you need it.'” A partnership was born.

The call went out on social media for footballers of Kabylian birth to make themselves known. The response was encouraging. Within weeks, Imemmai had flown to Kabylia to touch base with those who had shown interest, and over the course of days and weeks, a squad was assembled, amateurs all but brimming with heart.

What followed was a whirlwind of activity, as Imemmai and Bellabbaci’s hastily assembled team raced through 10 games in a little over two months in a frantic dash to fulfill CONIFA’s qualification criteria. With a traditional qualifying tournament impossible under the unique circumstances in which CONIFA works, member teams collected points by competing in “qualification” games against local sides, with the results collated into a global-league table to determine who progressed to London.

On September 2, the CONIFA board confirmed that Kabylia had placed among the top two African member associations, sealing the team’s place at the finals barely three months after they first applied for membership. The same day, Algeria lost 3-1 in Zambia, eliminating them from the FIFA World Cup. Kabylia rejoiced. But the team’s problems were just beginning.

Six months later, as Bellabbaci sipped his coffee in Tizi Ouzou, he was joined by two policemen. Later that day, a heavy police presence descended on his village and cut off routes in and out of town. “There were five police in total that I saw patrolling my garden,” Bellabbaci says.

Word of his and Imemmai’s work with the Kabylia team had travelled predictably fast. The particular sensitivities of the local Tizi Ouzou government over the independence question had been pricked. The authorities were interested now.

“Fortunately, I know how the police system works,” Bellabbaci says of his interrogation. “I said, ‘Show me your documents, your papers.’ I’m not going to back down. They didn’t have the authority to shut me down. I was clever.”

It began with just two officers. Then it was five. Soon, his house was surrounded, a convoy of black SUVs with smoked windows. In the end, exasperated with Bellabbaci’s non-cooperative stance, the police arrested him.

“Twenty of them came to my house,” he says. “That’s when they took me. Was I scared? We’re all human. But the feeling of a strong identity can get you through it.”

He was held in custody for nine hours. Different tactics were used to try to break his spirit. By Bellabbaci’s count, all 20 officers took a turn. Some made threats. Others feigned sympathy and were more conciliatory. One proposed alterations to the London plans, a compromise of sorts.

Some even made threats against his family. “They said that my family in France could get hurt if I continued my work. They even knew their names.

Organized by the independence group “All Under One Banner” (AUOB), this well-supported march is a clear message to the powers in London on the growing desire of Scots to fully dispose of their destiny, especially after the Brexit.
Like the Scots, the Kabyles long for independence, since the MAK dared to defy fear and break the wall of silence imposed by the dictatorial powers of Algeria. The Scottish example, just like the Catalans of Spain, must deeply inspire the Kabyles in their quest for sovereignty, which has been confiscated for several years.

Kabylia must be inspired by the formidable mobilization of the Scottish people to take a further step in their noble struggle for self-determination. To do this, all Kabyles whom love of their homeland, the real one, must unite with MAK and its president, Ferhat Mehenni, to thwart all the tricks orchestrated by the Algerian powers and its relays among the KDS (Traitors against Kabylia) in particular. This is a question of self-determination for a people, who, in their heart of hearts, has been seperating for many years with this Algeria, a nation ruled by despots and tyrants.

Like Scotland, Catalonia or Kurdistan, Kabylia has invaluable potential to self-govern. Starting with its strong diaspora spread across France, Canada and the United States, among others, our dear Kabylia is all about a great nation.

Whatever language in which it is expressed, it diffuses the Universal thanks to the worthy sons of the venerable Kabyle woman who knew how to keep, transmit and perpetuate her tradition, from generation to generation.

Nacer Wabeau, a brilliant Spanish-speaking kabylian writer, living in Costa Rica, has been awarded the Order of Academic Palms in Costa Rica (2017). Listen to his memorable speech during the decoration of the Order and measure his inflexible rectitude for the support of the fair causes.

Here is an example of his brave and worthy stand in favor of his people. It contrasts so much with those perpetuating the voluntary servitude of certain Kabyle intellectuals who beg in dishonor for ridiculous “slave promotions” of the regime that deprives their own people of dignity.

NACER WABEAU:
“..Lucky are those who understood the meaning of history. A little reminder would probably be useful to refresh the memories. I respectfully invite those who criticize any initiative to save Kabylia, to re-read the books of history and to analyze carefully the important events since the creation of the North African Star in Paris,1926, by a handful of Kabyles, having a great vision of the history, until the creation of the Kabyle Provisional Government in Paris also …

On the other hand, the United Nations had only 53 states in 1945, today it has 193 member states. Borders are changing, everywhere in the world, the oppressed people aspire freedom … It is the same for the Kabyle people …

Those who oppose the MAK would do better to analyze the causes that pushed the noble children of Kabylia. Some are sons of martyrs, who fought for the greatness of Algeria, who tried everything for the triumph of freedoms and democracy in this country, to turn their back on it and fight for the independence of Kabylia.

Would it not be the best way to save it from the Baatho-Salafo-fascist ideology? What happened in 1949? In 1963? In 1980? Who murdered 127 Kabyles in 2001? Who forbids the conferences in Kabylia of freethinkers, renowned, recognized for their immense contribution to culture? Intellectuals like Dda Younes Adli, Dda Rashid Oulbsir, the young Karim Akouche, among others, who all over the world would be respected, except under dictatorial regimes.

However, it suffices that a TV channel plays a bad trick to a constantinois writer for a certain “elite” move, pretending to defend tolerance in Algiers.

The Kabyle people can not continue to bear the injustice. A few days ago Kabyle women were attacked violently at home in Tuviret and Iazzouguen. We did not see a single city in Algeria move a finger in a sign of indignation and solidarity …

There are times when you have to break the chains.

The situation is serious. Algeria is a volcano that may explode violently at any time. I accuse the dictatorship of Algiers of being responsible. “(Nacer Wabeau)
