Many recognize this term, meaning holy war in Arabic, especially after deadly events during the last few years. Whether openly or secretly promoted by Islamic religious organizations, and with or without the approval of their governments, jihad forwards the cause of Islam through open threats and violence. While the whole world now knows the deadly effects of jihad, non-Islamic peoples living in Islamic countries have suffered its violence for decades.

Extractions: As music from North Africa and the Middle East has become more available internationally, the contributions of North Africa's first residents, the Berber, have been noticeably underrepresented. Many Berber musicians and people resent the fact that so much effort has gone into internationally promoting Afro-Arabic genres like rai and, to a lesser extent, shaabi, while Berber sounds remain largely unknown in world music circles. The subject is complex. One of the very first North African pop hits in Europe and the Middle East came in the 1970s from Algerian Berber pop singers Idir and Mila, with their song "Vara Inouva." Since then, contemporary Berber artists have been substantially missing in the flood of contemporary North African pop finding its way to the international marketplace. Much of the most interesting Berber music is not pop at all, but rather village and urban folk music. The major forces behind promoting rai have a dance pop-oriented mindset, and this, they argue, is the reason they have bypassed beautiful indigenous Berber music, and even more artistic fusions like that of exiled Algerian singer/songwriters Iness Mezel and Akli D. This argument overlooks some great Berber-related dance pop by artists like Takfarinas, Tayfa and German-based Moroccan fusion artist Houssaine Kili, but the good news is that these and other promising Berber artists are beginning to get the recognition they deserve.

Extractions: ISLAM ACROSS THE SAHARA TO WEST AFRICA There was little contact between North and West Africa in Roman times, but with the camel the Arabs and their Berber allies moved freely over the desert. They were attracted by gold and slaves. `Uqba raided deep into the Libyan desert, demanding 360 slaves from each town he came to. Far to the west, abîb ibn-abî-`Ubayda, grandson of `Uqba, raided Sûs (southern Morocco) and the land of the Blacks. "He achieved a victory over them such as was never seen and got all the gold he wanted. He also captured some girls." For many years gold was the main export of West Africa to the north, and slaves the main export of Central Africa. `Uqba's exploits entered West African legend, and he is made out to be the ancestor of the western Saharan Kunta tribe and of the Fulani. The various Berber tribes of the desert quickly became Muslim as a result of contact with the Arabs and integration in the trans-Saharan trade. An interesting characteristic of the early Muslim outposts in the desert and the Sahel was their separate Muslim identity. Awdaghust and Tadmakka served as exclusively Muslim jumping-off points in close reach of Ghâna and Gao respectively. Moreover, Ghâna and Gao each consisted of two separate towns, one for the indigenous people and their king, and the other for the Muslim foreign population. Little is known about the life of the Muslim Arab communities in Kanem, except that Zawîla was their important relay point for exporting slaves to the north, and they must have had settlements within Kanem itself.

Extractions: Where Berbers Meet the Bedouins How do you think it would affect you to live in a land that was overrun by foreigners over and over again? Libya was colonized by six different peoples before the Arab conquest in AD 643! The Arabs brought Islam, and the already weak Church crumbled. After being ruled by Arab dynasties, they were colonized by three different groups before Italy forcefully made them a colony in the early 20th century. Under Italian rule, over half of the indigenous population had been either killed or forced to flee. Sanusi leaders went into exile, but not for long. They fought alongside the Allies in WWII to drive the Italians and Germans out of Libya. Unfortunately for the Libyans, this was still not the end of colonial rule. Their land was divided between the French and the British. Finally in 1947 Libya became the first nation to be granted independence by the efforts of the United Nations. Libya as an Independent Nation The Sanusi leader, Sayid Idris, became the newlyindependent nations first king. In April of 1959, EssoLibya discovered the Zletin oil field, beginning Libyas era of oil wealth. Libya went from being one of the poorest nations in the world to potentially one of the wealthiest. Today, 95 percent of Libyas exports are petroleum products.

Extractions: B ERBERS BY AMIN KAZAK In July 1994, a delegation of Berbers from Morocco presented testimony on their own behalf at the annual meeting of the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Peoples, in Geneva. The presentation indicates that Berbers have identified themselves as "indigenous," fulfilling a major criterion for their identification as such by others. Indigenous peoples are recognized operationally through self-definition (as one of several criteria) by both the International Labor Organization and the World Bank. This article seeks to expand the broader consciousness of the global indigenous movement by supporting the recognition of Berbers and elaborating upon the testimony they provided at the Working Group meeting.1 The Berbers have inhabited North Africa for thousands of years and today live in a vast area extending through the several countries that constitute the "Maghreb" region (the western Mediterranean coast of North Africa): Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.2 Although the details of their origins are uncertain,3 it can be asserted that the Berber people inhabited North Africa thousands of years ago; they were situated where they exist today (through the expanse of the Atlas Mountains) at the time when the first invaders of the region who recorded history came upon them. It is further safe to say, then, that the Berber case corresponds to that of any indigenous nation of the Americas.4

Ancient Egyptian and Coptic are extinct. Some linguists also place the Chad languages within the Hamitic subfamily. Those Hamitic tongues are or were spoken in N Africa, much of the Sahara, the Horn of E Africa, and parts of central and W Africa. They were named after Ham, the second son of the biblical Noah, whose descendants supposedly were the original speakers of the Hamitic languages.

Algeria Ethnic Groups And Languages the Arabs largely descend from the same indigenous stock, physical The term berber is derived from the Greeks, who used it to refer to the people of North http://www.country-studies.com/algeria/ethnic-groups-and-languages.html
Extractions: Ethnic Groups and Languages The origins of the Berbers are unclear; a number of waves of people, some from Western Europe, some from sub-Saharan Africa, and others from Northeast Africa, eventually settled in North Africa and made up its indigenous population. Because present-day Berbers and the overwhelming majority of the Arabs largely descend from the same indigenous stock, physical distinctions carry little or no social connotation and are in most instances impossible to make. The term Berber is derived from the Greeks, who used it to refer to the people of North Africa. The term was retained by the Romans, Arabs, and other groups who occupied the region, but is not used by the people themselves. Identification with the Berber or Arab community is largely a matter of personal choice rather than of membership in discrete and bounded social entities. In addition to their own language, many adult Berbers also speak Arabic and French; for centuries Berbers have entered the general society and merged, within a generation or two, into the Arab group. This permeable boundary between the two major ethnic groups permits a good deal of movement and, along with other factors, prevents the development of rigid and exclusive ethnic blocs. It appears that whole groups slipped across the ethnic "boundary" in the pastand others may do so in the future. In areas of linguistic contiguity, bilingualism is common, and in most cases Arabic eventually comes to predominate.
