REFERENCES PART III - ADAMANTLY UNCOMPROMISING Conservative Power Challengers A great divide separates two opposing power challengers in the world of Islam: the progressive secular group - holders of the Imperial Sceptre like Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Syria; and the conservative - bearers of the Sword of Allah, like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, the Sudan, Libya and Algeria. Moslem progressive leaders with true liberal trends in the Abode of Peace often meet with a violent end. Conservative Power Challengers (CPC), carrying the sword in the name of religion, cut the liberals down before gaining strength to introduce constitutional reforms and democratise their countries on secular lines. CPC are the ardent Moslems and religious leaders, advocates of sectarianism. They allegedly hold jurisdiction over their subjects and their daily activities in all walks of life. They are upholders and guardians of the Islamic law. They monitor the conduct of their subjects, making sure that they do not stray from (Al-Sarat Al-Mustaqeem) the straight path of the faith. Activities are watched, especially in matters of morality and religion. Engagement in sports, public entertainment and all forms of athletics, is practised under the strict guidelines of the Islamic Sharia law.

Extractions: Main 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.

Extractions: North Africa in Antiquity This theme explores the history and people of North Africa from the earliest times to the arrival of the Muslim Arabs. ReadingBrett: pp. 10-80 Laroui: pp. 15-79 The following is largely based on Brett and Fentress The Berber origins and the early formations of cities and kingdoms demonstrate a problem common in newly formed states, the need for a clear principle of succession. Major problems arise because of the lack of a method of succession and it proves to be their downfall. The attempts to Romanize North Africa though very influential on the culture, eventually fail and after being governed by Carthaginian, Roman, Vandal and then Byzantine governments, a reversion to the indigenous tribal structures takes place. The Origins of the Berbers lies in the Capsian stone industries of the eastern Maghreb or modern southern Tunisia. The Wet period after 7000 BCE allowed for this area to be inhabited by a population composed of various racial elements. The increase in productivity of the land allowed for population growth and a subsequent western expansion. Berber languages are all strikingly similar, suggesting a uniform movement of peoples in a relatively short period of time. Around 3000 BCE contacts with the Mediterranean islands begin and by 1000 BCE North Africa is not very different from the rest of the Western Mediterranean. Most communities were farmers with a strong pastoral element in their economy and fairly elaborate cemeteries. By this time Berber languages were established throughout North Africa but there's no evidence of how this took place. The population at this time is a range of Mediterranean types.

Extractions: The amazigh (berber) people: 40 millions excluded The amazigh people (Berber) is the indigenous people from the North of Africa which amounts about forty millions persons. They have been for a long time subject to the same politicy that denies its existence and which uses all means, including the murderous violence in trying to make it disappear. This genocidal policy ended with the use of the amazigh language in the Canary Islands after the spanish invasion in the XV-th century. However, there is a great part of our amazigh indigenous culture that is been folkorise to serve tourism interests, the highly lucrative activity for foreign multinationals and the spanish government. Less than 40% of the income generated in the Canaries stays in the islands. In Mali and Niger the tuareg population is subject to disastrous conditions of life in exchange for the fabulous mining resources of their basement. For demanding participation in the mining benefits, the tuaregs suffer a wild repression on the last decade, with thousands of victims, committed by the armies of these two states, with complete impunity. On the other norths african countries, the amazigh population are under the imposition of the arabo-islamist ideology by a unique language (arab) and a unique religion (islam) force by Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian and Libyan governments. Consequently all the amazighs are summated by assimilation, prohibitions, imprisonment and even institutional crime. At the same time the States assigned big budgets to the arabisation of the educational system, the administrations, the medias and all activities for the promotion of the arabo-islamism. In this countries not only are forbidding the parents to name their children with amazigh names, but also forgery the ancestral amazigh history, the toponymy and marginalize the amazighophone regions.

Extractions: History of Africa during the time of the great West African kingdoms-Expand This activity will introduce you to three of the great kingdoms of West Africa between the 9th and 16th centuries CE. They are the kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay. After you have read a short text on each of these kingdoms, there is a fourth text which explains the time when parts of North Africa came to be Islamic. As you read through this activity, you should think about how the events in the four texts are related to one another. Once you have read all four texts, use the information you have learned in them to complete the graphic organizers at the end of the activity. Use the map below as a reference while you are reading the texts. There are various links back to the map througout the text that you can use to reference the map. The map shows the location of the three kingdoms of West Africa, as well as, many other kingdoms and empires throughout African history. The Kingdom of Ghana is generally given the dates 9th to the 13th century CE by historians. It marks the beginning of a series of empires in West Africa that were involved in extensive commercial trade. You should note by looking at the map above that the area of the Kingdom of Ghana during this time period is farther north than the present day country of Ghana. Click here to see a map of

HAGAN TAZZLA INSTITUTE FOR CULTURAL DIVERSITY STUDIO CITY, 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.

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.

Extractions: 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. (

Second, it discusses how modern technology is amplifying cultural safeguards, such as folklore, music, and some print media. Then the idea is developed that inherent in these new communication technologies is something more than an amplifier of the traditional, something that may be a new and extremely powerful force for preserving and shaping the identity of cultural minorities. The new technologies are impacting the knowledge and attitudes of individuals, both affirming cultural identity and developing a cosmopolitan perspective in a way that will spread through society. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this paper addresses the question of identity as a historical construct derived from changing sociopolitical and economic environments. This approach is contrary to the traditional sociolinguistic view that considers a language and its speaking community in isolation from constantly emerging forces such as communication technology, including print, analog and digital media, and especially the latest telecommunication systems: satellite dishes and the World Wide Web. The focus of this study is the role played by these forces in confirming the Amazigh identity.
