Arabization

The Arabization policy of the 1970's almost annihilated Berber in Algeria.

Modern Algeria has embarked on a process of arabization.

Arabization is fiercely opposed by the Kabyles, who want to preserve their language and their culture.

The invasion of the Banu Hilal tribes in the 11th century AD led to the Arabization of most of North Africa.

Modern Algeria has embarked on a process of Arabization, Islamization and socialism and this threefold policy has been a failure.

Arabization is fiercely opposed by the Kabyles who want to preserve their language and their culture.

Since then, Kabylia has been obstinately confronting the process of Arabization and acculturation that is undermining its language and identity.
