Dihya in connection with its course and its new album

Dihya in connection with its course and its new album “DzaÏr essa”
“One never felt as close to our identity as today”


Twenty years afterwards, Dihya sings a true anthem with the love, freedom, the democracy: “Dzaïr Essa” (Algeria today), title of its new album. Nowadays, they amount on the fingers of only one hand, the singers of texts: Mihoub, Amirouche, Nouari, the Berber ones, Markunda… The box at rate/rhythm and the bad taste make rage. Remain that a cuckoo, incompetent to build his nest, squatte that of the others. It is not in so far as it belongs to him, it is only one vulgar robber, authenticates it is and remains the reference. Between questions and answers, refrains, pieces selected… here Dihya in text while waiting for the voice.

Freedom: To leave Aurès, which seems to be a source of inspiration, a MUSE, as well for the musician, husband and writer, as for the singer, disturbs insofar as one finds oneself without reference mark. How makes one to remain connected, or one is not connected any more and one makes differently.

Dihya: Never “in two syllables” we would not have left Aurès voluntarily. During Berber Spring, Messaoud took part in the demonstrations of 1981, it also took part in a concert as a singer chaoui in Tizi Ouzou. And without you to make a drawing, his head was put at price. That precipitated our departure without return in France. Those which dared to pass my songs on the waves were sanctioned hard, i.e. they were returned. We could have accepted a compromise, to conceal, sing the agrarian revolution, the Arabisation, the nationalization to us of oil and to make our butter of bad taste! We refused to fully assume our identity which commercial step and time gives us reason.

A first 33 turns memorable vinyl, granite texts, an incomparable voice… There did it have takeoff or the practices of formerly, always present, alas, inhibited takeoff, even the emergence of the song chaouie, which always suffers from the transvestite after having undergone the interdict of the years during, even in the emission “Hadika Sahira” (the magic garden)?

The departure or takeoff, if you prefer, was extraordinary, even if the disc were caught up with by all the possible interdicts. It quickly became reference and Fanny Colonna is there for something. It was the first to include it in its Aurès book. The disc made a tobacco. The song Aella damezyan (the small one Went), translated, was proposed to me in French. I declined the proposal for only and single reason which the text is in chaoui. It should initially be sung in original version, i.e. in my native tongue. Also, the song (Ghers Lmal) has was taken again in language Urdu, and it is all with the honor of the chaoui, in particular, and of amazigh, in general.

Why the choice of the name of the queen amazighe, Dihya, named wrongly Kahina?

The name of the queen was essential of itself. At the time, in Batna, during the first countryside of Arabisation, one only stopped you to have spoken in chaoui with your neighbor in the street, then, to give the Dihya first name disturbed even more. But it was necessary to take the risk which is in fact only one return to the source, a recognition with our ancestors, because it is at the same time sad and funny to see that foreign names are authorized and not ours.

Nowadays, the small village T'Kout forges a reputation of stronghold of the claim citizen and identity. A tradition, because it is your native village, nowadays tamazight goes towards officialization whereas at the time, yours, the decision makers said that tamazight is a threat for the national unit. To the 17 years age, one said what the capacity recognizes today…

(To smile) a waste of time, an enormous waste is added, alas, with dead the innocent ones. A waste of time whereas abuses are made as well as injustices in the name of I do not know what. It is not a play only to ask for the recognition of its identity and not of the language amazighe, which does not need to be recognized, because the fact of attacking it is to recognize its thousand-year-old existence. A waste of time! Despite everything the disadvantages and the obstacles met on our course, we do not regret only we had made to date. If it should be remade, we will remake it in better and harder. Messaoud sang to T'Kout in 1974 and not today. It had dedicated the song to one of his friends, Youssef Abdesslem, which inspired it to him.

Dzayer ESA, Afroukh Aziza and other songs, to write by far, sing by far, a preparation, a prelude, for a return “thamurth”…

We never felt also close to our identity and our culture like today. And we hope well to return to the country, because our message is for the life and it is intact. One cannot evaluate the tears which we let run each time the word Aurès is evoked in front of us. Even now, I cry about it. My God! What a splendid word! The magic of the name always operates.

Speak to us about the new songs, texts, complicity (Messaoud Dihya)…

A box of more than 80 completely new songs is in preparation and will be offered gracefully to listening from here October, as well as such a new clip by the text and the music. In parallel, a book of which I am the author is in preparation. He tells the history of two witches living in the forest of Mezbal in Aurès. For the spectacles, me also, or rather us also, we keep the hope to be able to organize one day very next of the evenings and official receptions, where we will sing together with other singers chaouis, who kept the flame and who did not fall into the facility. It is just enough to organize something of serious and we will answer present. A thing is sure, Chaouis will be proud to re-examine singers and artists, together, because for a long time, the song constituted the war-horse of the identity claim in the country chaoui and elsewhere too.

Precisely, by speaking singers chaouis, they are banished festival of Timgad, not the politically correct ones or parrots, if you prefer…

Timgad! Timgad! there N is that this word which returns in the mouths. That it keeps it their festival! We were invited on several occasions and each time, we declined the invitation not to guarantee an assembly which one calls festival. We are not puppets. Let us organize our own festival and with our own means. Clean in the two directions (sic), in a stage, a douar, a waste ground, can imports, essence is to answer a call and to give pleasure. We at all do not need the presence of television, it is not credible…

“Not, nothing of nothing” Edith Piaf in chaoui…

Initially to return Edith Piaf to Berber from which it is resulting, and then, to rehabilitate what was used a long time by the of torture ones at the meetings of gegene not to hear the cry of their victims and perhaps also to isolate their conscience, if conscience there is… I pay homage also to Zerrouki, which made much for art; but amnesia plays us of nasty trick.

And “Cries, O beloved country!”

I cry and I say misfortunes of my country (duma duma), my brother. I am in anger but lucid, I speak and sing the hope nevertheless. Even if the country is emptied, deserted by its frameworks, afrukh Aziza, the blue bird of the visa. We are not creationists, but we are not entitled to the lapse of memory which is our enemy. Yugwerten (Jugurtha), it is to remind some that Algeria has a history plurimillénaire, because often, one wants to make us believe the opposite. One can stop the haemorrhage, despair, for that, it is necessary for us just to find lost serenity. Iwal (the hope) which gives desire for fighting, to remain, proud, haughty upright, like Imayen, the rider numide perhaps overcome but ever subjected. It is to us interdict to lose hope, us, the children of the hope. Jugurtha comes to often say it in our dreams.

The return of the queen

Dihya never left and never went away. We apostrophize the novelist, Messaoud Nedjahi, as accessory as the husband to the singer.

Dihya took retreat, best the manner of not taking share, and especially of not guaranteeing the ridiculous one, the counterfeit, the substitute and the forgery. I reformulate: “Dihya returns to us” and with it an immaculate space, preserved jealously so that the flame remains long-lived. We speak about the one of the emblematic figures of the song chaouie: rate/rhythm, text, tempo, words get along.
That has nothing to do with the song polaroid very appraisal by our single television channel who has his own singers and art-sad… Born in Taghit (Aurès), its true name Zohra Aïssaoui, it left for France at the age 8 years. After recoveries between Faïrouz, Dalida, E. Macias, she also collaborates with the French singer Sheila and obtains its first contract with the large Polydor house.
She knows also her first disillusion by losing her royalties. That's no problem, Dihya does not lower the arms, even less the voice and launches a cry opposite prohibited, of occulted and the interdict. Yuguerten (or Jugurtha), its first album, was not intended for the fashionable evenings, nor with the hit-parades, even less with the belly dance, but with the spirits and the memories. That did not prevent not claimed editors (hachakoum) to copy, record and sell, without royalties, in all impunity. Another disappointment, but this native soil time.

Dihya à propos de son parcours et son nouvel album

Dihya à propos de son parcours et son nouvel album

Dihya à propos de son parcours et son nouvel album “DzaÏr essa”
“On ne s’est jamais sentis aussi proches de notre identité qu’aujourd’hui”

Vingt ans après, Dihya chante un véritable hymne à l’amour, à la liberté, à la démocratie : “Dzaïr Essa” (Algérie aujourd’hui), titre de son nouvel album. De nos jours, ils se comptent sur les doigts d’une seule main, les chanteurs de textes : Mihoub, Amirouche, Nouari, Les Berbères, Markunda… La boîte à rythme et le mauvais goût font rage. Reste qu’un coucou, incapable de construire son nid, squatte celui des autres. C’est pas pour autant qu’il lui appartient, il n’est qu’un vulgaire voleur, l’authentique est et demeure la référence. Entre questions-réponses, refrains, morceaux choisis… voici Dihya en texte en attendant la voix.

Liberté : Quitter les Aurès, qui semblent être une source d’inspiration, une muse, aussi bien pour le musicien, époux et écrivain, que pour la chanteuse, perturbe dans la mesure où l’on se retrouve sans repères. Comment fait-on pour rester connecté, ou bien on n’est plus connecté et on fait autrement.

Dihya : Jamais “en deux syllabes” nous n’aurions quitté l’Aurès volontairement. Pendant le Printemps berbère, Messaoud participa aux manifestations de 1981, il a aussi pris part à un concert en tant que chanteur chaoui à Tizi Ouzou. Et sans vous faire un dessin, sa tête était mise à prix. Cela précipita notre départ sans retour en France. Ceux qui ont osé passer mes chansons sur les ondes ont été sanctionnés durement, c’est-à-dire qu’ils ont été renvoyés. Nous aurions pu accepter un compromis, nous taire, chanter la révolution agraire, l’arabisation, la nationalisation du pétrole et faire notre beurre de mauvais goût ! Nous avons refusé pour assumer pleinement notre identité qui ne se marchande pas et le temps nous donne raison.

Un premier 33 tours vinyle mémorable, des textes en granit, une voix inégalable… Y a-t-il eu décollage ou bien les pratiques de jadis, toujours présentes, hélas, ont inhibé le décollage, voire l’émergence de la chanson chaouie, qui souffre toujours du travesti après avoir subi l’interdit des années durant, même dans l’émission “Hadika Sahira” (le jardin enchanté) ?

Le départ ou le décollage, si tu préfères, fut extraordinaire, même si le disque fut rattrapé par tous les interdits possibles. Il est vite devenu référence et Fanny Colonna y est pour quelque chose. Elle fut la première à l’inclure dans son livre Aurès. Le disque a fait un tabac. La chanson Aella damezyan (le petit Alla), traduite, m’a été proposée en français. J’ai décliné la proposition pour la seule et unique raison que le texte est en chaoui. Il faut d’abord le chanter en version originale, c’est-à-dire dans ma langue maternelle. Aussi, la chanson (Ghers Lmal) a était reprise en langue ourdou, et c’est tout à l’honneur du chaoui, en particulier, et de amazigh, en général.

Pourquoi le choix du nom de la reine amazighe, Dihya, nommée à tort Kahina ?

Le nom de la reine s’est imposé de lui-même. À l’époque, à Batna, pendant la première campagne d’arabisation, on vous arrêtait rien que pour avoir parlé en chaoui avec votre voisin dans la rue, alors, donner le prénom Dihya dérangeait encore plus. Mais il fallait prendre le risque qui n’est en fait qu’un retour au source, une reconnaissance à nos ancêtres, car c’est à la fois triste et rigolo de voir que des noms étrangers sont autorisés et pas les nôtres.

De nos jours, le petit village T’kout se forge une réputation de fief de la revendication citoyenne et identitaire. Une tradition, car c’est votre village natal, de nos jours tamazight va vers l’officialisation alors qu’à l’époque, la vôtre, les décideurs disaient que tamazight est une menace pour l’unité nationale. À l’âge de 17 ans, on disait ce que le pouvoir reconnaît aujourd’hui…

(Sourire) Une perte de temps, un énorme gâchis s’ajoute, hélas, à la mort des innocents. Une perte de temps alors que des abus sont commis ainsi que des injustices au nom de je ne sais quoi. Ce n’est pas un jeu que de demander la reconnaissance de son identité et non pas de la langue amazighe, qui n’a pas besoin d’être reconnue, car le fait de l’attaquer c’est reconnaître son existence millénaire. Une perte de temps ! Malgré tous les inconvénients et les embûches rencontrées sur notre parcours, nous ne regrettons pas ce que nous avions fait à ce jour. S’il faut le refaire, nous le referons en mieux et en plus dur. Messaoud a chanté T’kut en 1974 et non pas aujourd’hui. Il avait dédié la chanson à un de ses amis, Youssef Abdesslem, qui la lui inspira.

Dzayer assa, Afroukh aziza et d’autres chansons, écrire de loin, chanter de loin, une préparation, un prélude, pour un retour “thamurth”…

Nous ne nous sommes jamais sentis aussi proches de notre identité et de notre culture comme aujourd’hui. Et nous comptons bien revenir au pays, car notre message est pour la vie et il est intact. On ne peut évaluer les larmes que nous laissons couler chaque fois que le mot Aurès est évoqué devant nous. Même maintenant, j’en pleure. Mon Dieu ! Quel mot magnifique ! La magie du nom opère toujours.

Parlez-nous des nouvelles chansons, textes, la complicité (Messaoud Dihya)...

Un coffret de plus de 80 chansons totalement inédites est en préparation et seront offertes gracieusement à l’écoute d’ici le mois d’octobre, ainsi qu’un clip aussi inédit par le texte et la musique. En parallèle, un livre dont je suis l’auteur est en préparation. Il raconte l’histoire de deux sorcières vivant dans la forêt de Mezbal dans les Aurès. Pour les spectacles, moi aussi, ou plutôt nous aussi, nous gardons l’espoir de pouvoir organiser un jour très prochain des soirées et galas, où nous chanterons ensemble avec d’autres chanteurs chaouis, qui ont gardé la flamme et qui ne sont pas tombés dans la facilité. Il suffit juste d’organiser quelque chose de sérieux et nous répondrons présent. Une chose est sûre, les Chaouis seront fiers de revoir des chanteurs et artistes, ensemble, car depuis longtemps, la chanson a constitué le cheval de bataille de la revendication identitaire dans le pays chaoui et ailleurs aussi.

Justement, en parlant de chanteurs chaouis, ils sont bannis du festival de Timgad, pas les politiquement corrects ou perroquets, si vous préférez...

Timgad ! Timgad ! il n y a que ce mot qui revient dans les bouches. Qu’il se le garde leur festival ! Nous avons été invités à plusieurs reprises et chaque fois, nous avons décliné l’invitation pour ne pas cautionner un attroupement qu’on appelle festival. Nous ne sommes pas des pantins. Organisons notre propre festival et avec nos propres moyens. Propres dans les deux sens (sic), dans un stade, un douar, un terrain vague, peut importe, l’essentiel c’est de répondre à un appel et se faire plaisir. Nous n’avons aucunement besoin de la présence de la télévision, elle n’est pas crédible…

“Non, rien de rien” d’Edith Piaf en chaoui…

D’abord pour rendre Edith Piaf aux Berbères dont elle est issue, et ensuite, pour réhabiliter ce qui a été longtemps utilisé par les tortionnaires lors des séances de gégène pour ne pas entendre le cri de leur victimes et peut-être aussi pour isoler leur conscience, si conscience il y a… Je rends hommage aussi à Zerrouki, qui a fait beaucoup pour l’art ; mais l’amnésie nous joue de mauvais tour.

Et “Pleure, ô pays bien-aimé !”

Je pleure et je dis les malheurs de mon pays (duma duma), mon frère. Je suis en colère mais lucide, je parle et chante l’espoir quand même. Même si le pays se vide, déserté par ses cadres, afrukh aziza, l’oiseau bleu du visa. Nous ne sommes pas des fixistes, mais nous n’avons pas le droit à l’oubli qui est notre ennemi.Yugwerten (Jugurtha), c’est pour rappeler à certains que l’Algérie a une histoire plurimillénaire, car souvent, on veut nous faire croire le contraire. On peut arrêter l’hémorragie, le désespoir, pour cela, il nous faut juste retrouver la sérénité perdue. Iwal (l’espoir) qui donne envie de se battre, de rester debout, fier, hautain, comme Imayen, le cavalier numide vaincu peut-être mais jamais soumis. Il nous est interdit de perdre espoir, nous, les enfants de l’espoir. Jugurtha vient le dire souvent dans nos rêves.

Le retour de la reine

Dihya n’est jamais partie et ne s’est jamais absentée. Nous apostrophons le romancier, Messaoud Nedjahi, aussi complice que le mari de la chanteuse.

Dihya a pris du recul, la meilleur manière de ne pas prendre part, et surtout ne pas cautionner le ridicule, la contrefaçon, l’ersatz et le faux. Je reformule : “Dihya nous revient” et avec elle un espace immaculé, préservé jalousement pour que la flamme reste vivace. Nous parlons de l’une des figures emblématiques de la chanson chaouie : rythme, texte, tempo, paroles s’entend.
Ça n’a rien à voir avec la chanson polaroïd très prisée par notre unique chaîne de télévision qui a ses propres chanteurs et art-tristes… Née à Taghit (Aurès), de son vrai nom Zohra Aïssaoui, elle est partie en France à l’âge de 8 ans. Après des reprises entre Faïrouz, Dalida, E. Macias, elle collabore aussi avec la chanteuse française Sheila et décroche son premier contrat avec la grande maison Polydor.
Elle connaît aussi sa première désillusion en perdant ses droits d’auteur. Qu’à cela ne tienne, Dihya ne baisse pas les bras, encore moins la voix et lance un cri en face du prohibé, de l’occulté et l’interdit. Yuguerten (ou Jugurtha), son premier album, n’était pas destiné aux soirées mondaines, ni aux hit-parades, encore moins à la danse du ventre, mais aux esprits et aux mémoires. Ça n’a pas empêché de prétendus éditeurs (hachakoum) de copier, enregistrer et vendre, sans droits d’auteur, en toute impunité. Une autre déception, mais cette fois en terre natale.

Origins

Bones discovered on the Algerian territory testify to a human presence going back to more than 500 000 years. Civilizations ibéromaurusiennes (10 000 years front J. - C.) and capsiennes (5 000 years front J. - C.) developed respectively in North (area of Constantine) and in the East and the Sahara. One does not know the exact origin of the Berber ones, but they are undoubtedly the descendants of these first inhabitants and the men whom Saharan rupestral engravings of Tassili of Ajjer describe (3 000 years front J. - C.). Hunters then pastors and farmers, the Berber ones were organized in tribes and confederations, that the Greeks distinguished under the names the libyques ones, numides and Moors.

De Carthage in Rome

In the neighbourhoods of 814 av. J. - C., Phéniciens, navigators come from the Mediterranean East, founded the town of Carthage, in current Tunisia. Its commercial radiation was effective only after the decline of Tyr (550 av. J. - C.), their principal city. The Carthaginians established counters on the Algerian coast (Annaba, Skikda, Algiers, etc). They exerted an economic and political domination on the libyco-Berber populations.

On the other hand, the numides chiefs could better play of the competitions that the city developed with Rome. Thus, during the Punic Wars (IIIe-IIe front centuries J. - C.), Masinissa, a numide chief combined in Rome, seized Cirta (Constantine). This capital of the Berber kings of Masaesyles, from which the territory extended to Eastern Morocco, became that of Numidie then. After a long reign (203-148 av. J. - C.), Masinissa died, leaving the kingdom in division with its sons, which composed with the Romans. But the grandson of Masinissa, Jugurtha, refused the Roman seizure; instigator of an insurrection in 111 av. J. - C., it was to be subjected by Rome in 105 av. J. - C.

Under the Roman authority, Numidie became with Egypt the \ “attic of Rome \”, providing corn and olive oil. Maurétanie, annexed to the Roman Empire into 40 apr. J. - C., was divided into two imperial provinces (Maurétanie Tingitane and Maurétanie Césarienne), while is Algeria was attached to the province proconsulaire of Africa. To protect the area from the raids of the wandering tribes, a network of military ways was built, connecting between them, approximately five hundred city garrison towns of 5 000 to 10 000 inhabitants, who were equipped with all the attributes of the Roman cities (Timgad, Lambèse).

In IVe century apr. J. - C., whereas the Roman legions called to defend the declining Empire, were withdrawn from Numidie, the area was, for a time, declared independent, under the pressure of the movement donatist. The Latinized Berber population, early converted with the Christian faith, had indeed massively joined with this sect Christian woman, persecuted by the Roman authorities, after Christianity had become official religion of the Empire (313), while the Berber tribes of the mountains, not Latinized, continued to resist. In a context of anarchy, the Vandals, populates Germanic, invaded North Africa and established a kingdom into 429 there. Their domination, limited to the coastal strip, remained however fragile, and of the independent Berber principalities could reconstitute itself during this period.

In 533, the Vandals were driven out by the armies of the Byzantine emperor, Justinien Ier, whose dream was to make reappear the splendour of the Roman Empire. The Byzantine conquest, however, was limited only to the east of the country.

Moslem dynasties of the Middle Ages


The dream of Justinien Ier crumbled when, in 647, the Arabs, carrying a new religion, Islam, launched out to the conquest of North Africa. In the east, in Aurès, they had to be opposed to the resistance of two Berber chiefs, Kusayla and Kahina, a prophetess. But, to the beginning of VIIIe century, the Berber ones were subjected and converted massively with Islam. War leaders, such Musa ibn Nusayr, illustrated themselves even in the troops which fought for the expansion of Islam. At the beginning of VIIIe century, Algeria, like the whole of the Maghreb, had become a province placed under the authority of Omeyades. The Arabs constituted an urban elite there.

After 740, while the quarrels of succession for the caliphate multiplied, the Berber ones were drawn up against the authority califale and, like much of those which, in the Muslim community, fought against the Arab domination, they rejoined the kharijites, fundamentalist and democratic dissidents of Islam. A community kharijite remains besides today in Mzab (ibadites). Berber the kharijites founded several small kingdoms. One of most important, that of Rostémides, created into 777 in Tahert (Tiaret), was swept into 911 by the Arab dynasty Shiite of Fatimides, supported by Kabyles, a Berber confederation of the East. As of XIe century, Arabic became the majority language in the plains and the steppes. Only the Berber ones of the mountains resisted durably. Two Berber dynasties were however to reign on all the area between XIe and XIIIe century: Almoravides and Almohades. Come from the Moroccan South, they extended their influence of the African North-West to the south of Spain. Tlemcen, the capital of Almohades, became a famous artisanal center. Beautiful mosques and many Koranic schools were built there. The seaports (Béjaïa, Annaba and Algiers, in full expansion) developed an active trade, bringing to Europe the famous barbs, of wax, a leather of quality and fabrics.

Othoman authority

The destruction of Almohades, in 1269, started a hard commercial battle between Christians and Moslems for the control of the ports of the Mediterranean. The area was shared between three Berber dynasties: Mérinides with Fès, Abdelwadides with Tlemcen and Hafsides in Tunis. As of the end of XVe century, after the Christian reconquest (Reconquista) of the totality of Andalusia, Spain occupied several ports of the Algerian coast (Seas to el-Kébir, Oran, Béjaïa). Abdelwadides accepted Spanish protectorate, but the religious authorities of the port cities, supported by the population, engaged of the corsairs, who captured the trading vessels and retained the crew and the cargo in exchange of a ransom. In 1518, Algiers and several other ports were besieged by the Spaniards; the Othoman Turks were called with the rescue.

Barberousse, two brothers corsairs, of Greek or sicilian origin - according to the sources - and converted with Islam, obtained from the Soliman the Magnificent sultan to be sent in North Africa with a fleet. They drove out the Spaniards of the majority of their new possessions, resisted the seat of Charles Quint in front of Algiers (1541). Abdelwadides were deposited in 1554, and Aldine Khayr, youngest of Barberousse, was named beylerbey, i.e. representing of the sultan in Algeria. Military proconsuls of Africa, these \ “kings d' Alger \” exerted their authority not only on the littoral zone, but on the pashas of Tunisia and Tripolitaine. Because of its distance of Constantinople, the regency of Algiers was controlled like an autonomous province.

Indirect effect of Reconquista Spanish, the establishment of the Othomans in Algeria led to the installation of an elective monarchy and the shapes of government which marked Algeria deeply: at the XVIIe century, Algiers chose its dey who received then the nomination of Constantinople. The order was in theory assured by two rival military forces, the odjaq, the militia of the janissaries, and the taïfa of the rays, the corporation of the corsairs. But the back-country, the South, Constantinois, Kabylie, escaped the capacity from regency from Algiers, which was primarily a \ “colony of exploitation \”. The Othoman capacity had recourse to the formation of tribes (colonies military) and to the maghzens, of the privileged tribes which made return the tax.

Les origines

Des ossements découverts sur le territoire algérien témoignent d’une présence humaine remontant à plus de 500 000 ans. Des civilisations ibéromaurusiennes (10 000 ans av. J.-C.) et capsiennes (5 000 ans av. J.-C.) se développèrent respectivement dans le Nord (région de Constantine) et dans l’Est et le Sahara. On ne connaît pas l’origine exacte des Berbères, mais ils sont sans doute les descendants de ces premiers habitants et des hommes que décrivent les gravures rupestres sahariennes du Tassili des Ajjer (3 000 ans av. J.-C.). Chasseurs puis pasteurs et cultivateurs, les Berbères s’organisèrent en tribus et en confédérations, que les Grecs distinguaient sous les noms de libyques, numides et maures.

De Carthage à Rome

Aux alentours de 814 av. J.-C., les Phéniciens, navigateurs venus de l’Est méditerranéen, fondèrent la ville de Carthage, dans l’actuelle Tunisie. Son rayonnement commercial ne fut effectif qu’après la décadence de Tyr (550 av. J.-C.), leur principale cité. Les Carthaginois établirent des comptoirs sur la côte algérienne (Annaba, Skikda, Alger, etc.). Ils exerçaient une domination économique et politique sur les populations libyco-berbères.

En revanche, les chefs numides savaient mieux jouer des rivalités que la cité développait avec Rome. Ainsi, durant les guerres puniques (IIIe-IIe siècles av. J.-C.), Masinissa, un chef numide allié à Rome, s’empara de Cirta (Constantine). Cette capitale des rois berbères de Masaesyles, dont le territoire s’étendait jusqu’au Maroc oriental, devint alors celle de la Numidie. Après un long règne (203-148 av. J.-C.), Masinissa mourut, laissant le royaume en partage à ses fils, qui composèrent avec les Romains. Mais le petit-fils de Masinissa, Jugurtha, refusa la mainmise romaine; instigateur d’une insurrection en 111 av. J.-C., il devait être soumis par Rome en 105 av. J.-C.

Sous l’autorité romaine, la Numidie devint avec l’Égypte le \"grenier de Rome\", fournissant blé et huile d’olive. La Maurétanie, annexée à l’Empire romain en 40 apr. J.-C., fut divisée en deux provinces impériales (Maurétanie Tingitane et Maurétanie Césarienne), tandis que l’est de l’Algérie était rattaché à la province proconsulaire d’Afrique. Pour protéger la région des raids des tribus nomades, un réseau de voies militaires fut construit, reliant entre elles des villes de garnison, environ cinq cents cités de 5 000 à 10 000 habitants, qui furent dotées de tous les attributs des villes romaines (Timgad, Lambèse).

Au IVe siècle apr. J.-C., alors que les légions romaines appelées à défendre l’Empire en déclin, se retirèrent de Numidie, la région fut, pour un temps, déclarée indépendante, sous la pression du mouvement donatiste. La population berbère latinisée, tôt convertie à la foi chrétienne, s’était en effet massivement ralliée à cette secte chrétienne, persécutée par les autorités romaines, après que le christianisme fut devenu religion officielle de l’Empire (313), tandis que les tribus berbères des montagnes, non latinisées, continuaient à résister. Dans un contexte d’anarchie, les Vandales, peuple germanique, envahirent l’Afrique du Nord et y établirent un royaume en 429. Leur domination, limitée à la bande côtière, resta cependant fragile, et des principautés berbères indépendantes purent se reconstituer durant cette période.

En 533, les Vandales furent chassés par les armées de l’empereur byzantin, Justinien Ier, dont le rêve était de faire renaître la splendeur de l’Empire romain. La conquête byzantine, pourtant, se limita seulement à l’est du pays.

Les dynasties musulmanes du Moyen Age

Le rêve de Justinien Ier s’effondra lorsque, en 647, les Arabes, porteurs d’une nouvelle religion, l’islam, se lancèrent à la conquête de l’Afrique du Nord. À l’est, dans les Aurès, ils durent s’opposer à la résistance de deux chefs berbères, Kusayla et la Kahina, une prophétesse. Mais, dès le début du VIIIe siècle, les Berbères se soumirent et se convertirent massivement à l’islam. Des chefs de guerre, tel Musa ibn Nusayr, s’illustrèrent même dans les troupes qui combattaient pour l’expansion de l’islam. Dès le début du VIIIe siècle, l’Algérie, comme l’ensemble du Maghreb, était devenue une province placée sous l’autorité des Omeyades. Les Arabes y constituaient une élite urbaine.

Après 740, tandis que se multipliaient les querelles de succession pour le califat, les Berbères se dressèrent contre l’autorité califale et, comme beaucoup de ceux qui, dans la communauté musulmane, luttaient contre la domination arabe, ils rallièrent les kharijites, dissidents fondamentalistes et démocrates de l’islam. Une communauté kharijite subsiste d’ailleurs aujourd’hui dans le Mzab (ibadites). Les Berbères kharijites fondèrent plusieurs petits royaumes. L’un des plus importants, celui des Rostémides, créé en 777 à Tahert (Tiaret), fut balayé en 911 par la dynastie arabe chiite des Fatimides, soutenue par les Kabyles, une confédération berbère de l’Est. Dès le XIe siècle, l’arabe devint la langue majoritaire dans les plaines et les steppes. Seuls les Berbères des montagnes résistaient durablement. Deux dynasties berbères devaient cependant régner sur toute la région entre le XIe et le XIIIe siècle : les Almoravides et les Almohades. Venues du Sud marocain, elles étendirent leur influence du Nord-Ouest africain au sud de l’Espagne. Tlemcen, la capitale des Almohades, devint un centre artisanal réputé. On y construisit de belles mosquées et de nombreuses écoles coraniques. Les ports maritimes (Béjaïa, Annaba et Alger, en pleine expansion) développèrent un commerce actif, apportant en Europe les fameux chevaux barbes, de la cire, un cuir de qualité et des tissus.

Morocco: Disappearing the Amazigh

So it looks like the Moroccans are at it again. Instead of just letting people be who they are, the government is still going on about their naming laws. In other words, if you want to give your child an Amazigh (Berber) name, tough luck. Moroccan human rights groups recently proposed a list of Amazigh names be added to Morocco's approved list of names, however, the proposal was quickly struck down. Alarabiya reports :

The Moroccan civil registry recently rejected 13 Berber names after receiving a list from the Ministry of Interior with specific Berber names considered in violation of law 99-37 that determines names fit for males and females.
Now, realistically, it's a much smaller percentage of Moroccans who would choose to do so, but the fact of the matter is, Amazigh people are the true Moroccan natives. They are spread throughout the country and beyond. They are urban and rural. And the Moroccan government is trying to tell them that, by naming their child an Amazigh name, they are giving them a name which is "contrary to Moroccan identity."

What exactly, then, is Moroccan identity? Is it Arab identity? The official language of Morocco certainly is Arabic (although it could be argued that what is actually spoken on the streets is only a distant cousin). Still, it is estimated that 23 of Morocco's 30+ million people speak one of three Amazigh dialects. And according to sociologist and writer Mohammed Chafik, up to 80% of Moroccans are of Amazigh ethnicity.

In neighboring Algeria, where the number of people speaking a Berber dialect is significantly lower (at about 29%), Berber is actually considered a "national language" (though not an official one). Now, I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that in Algeria, there is more naming freedom; either Amazigh names are on the "approved" list, or the law has been done away with entirely. In Morocco, however, you must select a name from a list of (entirely Muslim) names which reflect "Moroccan identity."

Oddly enough, in the past few years, trendy new names have been cropping up in Morocco; names popular in the Levant, such as "Rime," or popular in Iran, such as "Nasreen," have made their way into the Moroccan identity. But try to name your daughter Numidia , and all dirt breaks loose.

When will Morocco realize that Amazigh are part of their national identity? Once the languages have died off (another contentious issue is the teaching of Tashelheit, Tamazight, and Tarifit)? Once there are no more Tanasts, Shadens, or Numidias? Once all Amazigh political parties have been banned for good ? Or will the history of the Amazigh simply be erased?

I also think that it is bad what the government is doing there in Morocco ... I mean , the people shall have the right to name their children like they want ... The most important thing is that they are muslims ...

And Numidia sounds like a nice name ^_^ .


But wouldn't you think that such little differences ( like names for examples ) which shows where somebody is originally from would cause splitting in a country or between people??!!

Wouldn't it cause somehow a sort of racism or nationalism in future somehow?? :mellow:

Because I know it from myself , when I am only with germans and I am the only one whose name is "Yacine" and the others all are called "Heiko" , "Steffi" , "Maria" , "Daniela" , "Clemens" , "Stefan" , super "Mario" "Irina" ... :D Then I see it that they treat eachother in an other way and towards me they are somehow absent .... And from my site then I think :" hmm , what am I doing here ... it is better to hang around with "Ahmed" , "Shazaly" , "Khaled" , "Iham" and and and :P ....

Sooo that's a big difference concerning my situation ... but such little differences can cause splitting ... and if they are not a "MUST" .... I mean there are also much many other nice names ...

and "Ceasar" the early King of Italy is also a nice name ... but nobody uses it today ... or "Achilles" or "Algebra" or "Alchimedis" or "Herkules" :D :D .... All ( more or less :D ) nice names .... buuuuuuut nobody uses them ^^

Well don't understand me wrong. I think the parents shall have the right to name their children like they want , but they also shall think on the consequences their child will have with a name like "Massinisa" ... for example ... ( nothing against the name ;) )

I understand what ur saying and i agree with u ;) :)

Like here also if ur name is let say "Mohammed" and ur looking for a job then u might not get it... It happend to one of my friends she called for a job using her real name and then they said they didn't need anybody for the moment, and then she used a swedish name and called the same person and guess what they offered her the job. They didn't just want foreigners lol.

They say that morocco is a democratic (haha lol) land but it isn't. The King is half berber himself. I mean everybody should be able to name their children to whatever like u said.

it is sad that there is no freedom for the names in moroc, sad thing is they approved tamazight being taught; but deny one taking on a name that is his or her identity,, we should be proud of who we are, as amazigh or arabs and take what names we like,,, one day hopefully, for now all we can do is try to fight it and voice our opions

The sun investigate lost city Atlantis
3 May 2009


FOR thousands of years the mystery of Atlantis has remained as deep as the ocean covering the fabled city itself.

Despite lying lost beneath the waves since the dawn of civilization, the mythical home of an ancient utopian society has never been forgotten.

Indeed, interest in the legend is very much alive today - as has been proved by the global shockwaves created by the mysterious picture in yesterday’s Sun showing the possible location of Atlantis off the coast of Africa.

Since the Greek philosopher Plato first mentioned Atlantis in 360BC it has been obsessed over in scientific study, scholarly research and popular culture.

Plato described what he said was a translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs telling of a large island - bigger than North Africa and modern Turkey put together - beyond “the pillars of Hercules”. That was the ancient name for what we today call the Straits of Gibraltar.

Atlantis had smaller islands nearer it, so travellers could easily reach the mainland of Europe and Africa.

According to historian Lewis Spence in his 1924 book The Problem Of Atlantis, the Canary Islands and Madeira could be what was left of Atlantis after it was destroyed by a huge earthquake. Flood This very much fits in with the Google Ocean pictures in yesterday’s Sun, as they were taken almost an equal distance west of the Canaries and Madeira.

The Egyptian records described Atlantis as mostly mountainous in the north with a great oblong plain in the south.

That is almost an exact description of the Sun’s picture - mountains on the left and a plain on the right.

Plato’s sources described Atlantis as a great naval power that conquered North Africa and what is now Spain, southern France and parts of Italy.

But the Atlanteans may also have been doomed by natural phenomena.

Plato says that soon after a defeat by Athens the island was destroyed by a series of huge earthquakes and a flood.

Scientists have speculated that the flood was caused by a tsunami.

The Canaries were off the map of the known world for hundreds of years until they were rediscovered by the Spanish in the 1300s.

Intriguingly, the natives found living there have been shown to have strong genetic links to the Berbers of North Africa and the Nile Valley, leading to speculation that today’s Berbers are descended from the Atlanteans who were said to have conquered the region more than 11,000 years ago.

A Dutch map of 1669 shows an improbably large Atlantis stretching from south of the Canaries to north of Spain.

Many seekers of Atlantis have looked even farther north - to the British Isles. A team of Russian scientists claimed 12 years ago to have identified Atlantis off the south west coast of England. About 100 miles off Land’s End is a relatively shallow area of sea known as Little Sole Bank.

Between it and Britain are the Scillies, which could be the islands Plato said provided stepping stones from Atlantis to the mainland.

Tales of King Arthur tell of a land called Lyonesse, which some stories say lay beyond the Scillies. Tristan, one of the Knights of the Round Table and a nephew of King Mark of Cornwall, was said to have come from there.

The Cornish Trevelyan family’s coat of arms shows a white horse rising from the sea. This fits in with a local legend that “when Lyonesse sank beneath the waves, only a man named Trevelyan escaped by riding a white horse”.

The Atlantis story has fascinated people across the ages. Even the Nazis got in on the act, believing that Atlanteans were a master race who were the ancestors of modern Germans, Scandinavians and the English. SS chief Heinrich Himmler organised an expedition to Tibet in 1938 in support of a theory that Atlanteans were supermen who originated from near the North Pole.

The story is fictionalised in Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Accounts of Atlantis have been popular with many authors including Sherlock Holmes’s creator Arthur Conan Doyle, horror writer Stephen King and JRR Tolkien.

One of the most famous accounts comes in Jules Verne’s 1870 novel 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, which sees Captain Nemo’s submarine Nautilus visiting the underwater ruins of Atlantis. The island also featured in the 1959 film Journey To The Center Of The Earth and, as Atlantica, in Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

In the 1970s Patrick Duffy played the island’s only survivor in TV’s Man From Atlantis.

For now, the Google Ocean pictures cannot be said to prove the Atlantis legend - as there is much more exploring to do.

A Google spokesman said last night that while many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth - among them a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species, a coral reef off the coast of Australia, and the remains of an ancient Roman villa - there may be a more scientific explanation for the regular lines on the sea floor.

He went on: “Bathymetric, or sea-floor terrain data, is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor.

“The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data. But the fact that there are blank spots between these lines is a sign of how little we really know about the world’s oceans.”

The Political Visit of President Ferhat Mehenni to Quebec
16 June 2009


Account of the Political Visit of Ferhat Mehenni to Quebec

Association Quebec-Kabylia

Sunday, 14 June 2009 / MAK

During his last visit to Quebec, Mr. Ferhat Mehenni, President of the Movement for Autonomy of Kabylia (MAK) has had to meet with Quebec key political figures of high rank.

Indeed, after the conference he has held at the University of Quebec at Montreal, he was among the guests at the grand rally of the Movement French Montreal (French: Mouvement Montréal Français) where he had discussions with the key figures present at this event. Among other gentlemen, Mario Beaulieu President of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society (French: Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste), Mr. Jean Dorion his predecessor and current deputy of the Quebec Bloc (French: Bloc Quebecois), Pierre Curzi deputy of the Quebec Party (French: Parti québécois) in charge of education and culture, after having meeting again the leader of the official opposition in the National Assembly, Pauline Marois, and Gilles Duceppe leader of the Quebec Bloc, one of the opposition parties in the House of Commons in Ottawa.

Sunday June 7, he attended a joint meeting with Ms. Francine Lalonde and Viviane Barbot, MPs of the Quebec Bloc, respectively, spokeswoman for the party in terms of international affairs for the first and vice-president of this political party for the second.

Ms. Lalonde is also the only deputy who has denounced the sad events of 2001 in Kabylia. And this, at a time when the Prime Minister of Canada on a visit to Algiers was talking about oil with Bouteflika whilst an armed repression was at its heights in Tizi-Ouzou and the Kabyle diaspora was marching in the streets of Montreal.

Tuesday, June 9, the President of the MAK was awaited in the office of the Quebec Party, where he had a successful discussion with Madam Louise Beaudouin deputy of the official opposition in the National Assembly and spokeswoman on international relations. Madam Beaudouin is being known as one of the defenders of cultural diversity in the world.

During these political meetings where he discussed topics of common interests, Mr. Mehenni was accompanied by the gentlemen Amar Nessah and Rachid Bandou who were joined, in the first meeting, by Pierre L’Heureux, President of the Executive of the Quebec Party in Vimont Laval.

Yelas new album: (sliyid) listen to me
27 May 2009


Incandescences

Hair in a mess , passionate gaze and always a guitar in his hands. YELAS means ’omnipresent’, at the moment in berber (amazigh) music , he’s definitely one of the most innovative artists. A few years a go, he left his native village called TARIHANT situated in the mountains of kabyle not far from the Mediterranean. Then he began a long voyage around the world , full of adventures and friendships; mainly in Europe and America. He developed his style through other musical cultures. This enabled him to achieve very personnel compositions, which doesn’t prevent his inventiveness. "It’s events that influenced my music, through my life experiences through-out the world".

His first album received high critical acclaim and media exposer through-out the world. The lyrics have a rebellious character and the music is a fusion world music like flamenco, celtic, latino etc. The artist is still attached to his roots, interpretating his songs in his mother tongue : Berber, the original language of the native people of north Africa which for many years was oppressed.

Perfectionist, YELAS did not finish his second album, entitled ’SLIYID’ (listen to me) until he was convinced of the quality of his work. he took all the time he needed, his moto "do it well or don’t do it at all". His fans will not be disappointed because it’s a work of skill that he offers them. "This album is a real compilation, non of the songs are similar" he says. The guitar dominates with an unprecedented and elaborated universal style with a classical tendancy. There is a perfect synchronisation between the voice and the guitar. We feel the technical and harmonical work of YELAS. The rythems and melodies take us to a wonderful universe. "It’s the events that I’ve been through that influenced my music" he says.

Lyrically, this album is over flowing with love and passion: [ hear this song, it’s yours, listen to this, it’s for you, isn’t life beautiful, because you exist, life is wonderful.]. Beautiful lyrics , well inspired, carried by melodies which are an invitation to dream: [I feel you like my faraway mediterranean, I love you my reason for being] Sweet lyrics for his lover, imprinted with emotion and tenderness . Where the guitar is always present. The only friend and confident, in times of joy and sadness: [do you remember, it was summer, me and my guitar, it’s with me always, I took my guitar to sing for you.] or in another song: [why are you scared to love me? You my star]

Other lyrics speak of the exiles return home, after many years and also a bout oppression in Algeria. Finally you have two bonus songs ’FOUROULOU’ and ’SYMBOL’ recorded live.

Ayyur is a forbidden name
19 May 2009


On Monday,May 11th, I felt discriminated and humiliated when I went to the Civil Status Service to register my newborn (boy) with the name ( Ayyur Adam) in Beni Mellal. The agent said “Adam is accepted but Ayyur is strange”. “Go to the Civil Status Inspector in the Province headquarter to check if this name is on the list” he added. I went to the Inspector, an arrogant person,he said :”Tamazight is not a language, it’s a dialect because it has no history. Sorry, Ayyur is not on the list.”

I denounce this shameful and racist act that reflects the Moroccan authorities plot and conspiracy against the Amazigh civilisation in its homeland. I wonder if I have the right to name my son with an Amazigh name or I don’t? Thus I call for all democratic forces to support my struggle until the registration of Ayyur Adam and the total annulation of this racist list.

Lounes Matub sang:

“Asmi d-luleɣ d butt amcum _ Deg ufus i d-kemseɣ lehmum”

In English:

Cursed the day that day I was born,
In my hand shaking node torment.

Mbarek OULEMDA

Update 21 mai 2009

Thank you very much for all people who sympathized with me in this bitter humiliation which was prepared and acted by Moroccan authorities. Actually, the experience of refusing one’s newborn’s name by the Civil Registry services in his homeland is indescribable especially when you find that a citizen like you has just registered his newborn (Saàd) meanwhile yours is rejected. Therefore you feel that you are not like the other (who chose an Arab name). You understand that your status is lower than the other citizen, or the lowest and the most wretched creature on earth. I am not the first or the last to endure this absurd banning. Therefore, it is clearer and clearer that the process of discrimination, marginalisation and systematic cultural erasing is still going on in spite of sweet political speeches which we have been accustomed to hear since the so called “Independence” in 1956. To illustrate this I start with the Moroccan constitution which does not recognise Amazigh identity as it is stated in its preamble: “An Islamic and fully sovereign state whose official language is Arabic, the Kingdom of Morocco constitutes a part of Great Arab Magreb”.

So according to this constitution Imazighen don’t exist although the historical, archeological, anthropological, linguistic and social studies have shown and confirmed that the population of North Africa in general and of Morocco in particular is mainly Amazigh.

Moreover, the translators into Tamazight have been disappeared in the Moroccan administrations since (courts, hospitals...) since 1956.

The High Institute of Amazigh Studies hasn’t seen light up to now. Unfair detention of Amazigh association members in 1994 because they protested on Labour Day (May 1st) and claimed the official recognition of Tamazight. Systematic marginalisation of Amazigh speaking regions (Rif, Atlas, the South East...). Promulgating laws in order to ban Amazigh names in the name of protecting “Moroccan identity”, so many Amazigh names have been banned and considered either strange or bring shame to the public morality! Or menace the national unity! Many Amazigh toponyms have been arabised. Another scandalous aspect of humiliation is that of the 2M TV that broadcasts only 15 mn of Amazigh news but the presenters are behind the veil, they are ashamed to appear to the viewers! Al uwla TV also broadcasts only15 mn of Amazigh news in spite of the fact that Imazighen, the majority, pay taxes on TV and Radio( Note that Amazigh radio programmes are not captured in high lands where Tamazight still stands firm against arabization and extremism).

However, Israel, the first enemy as the Arabs see it, does not prohibit Arab names, and Arabic is recognised as a second official language in the Israeli constitution. In our sweet homeland Tamazight is not recognised at all in the Moroccan constitution( as mentioned above), even in the king’s speech in Ajdir in 2001 he used the word Taàabir which means in Arabic expressions. Tifinagh script is banned in the public life as it happened in Nador.

If you meditate a little bit on these factors you conclude that the Moroccan authorities treat Imazighen as colonised unwanted natives that put obstacles in front of the" national unity" and the Arab unity as a whole. It’s up to Imazighen to struggle and strive to incarnate their existence as the American Civil Right movement leader Martin Luther King Jr puts it : "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent." He adds:"One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.

Mbarek Oulemda

Finally they registerd my son with the name Ayyur Adam but after a long process of humiliation.M L K Jr says " A right delayed is a right denied

L'Aurès en Bourgogne

3 octobre 2009 : la culture chaouia, de l'Aurès à Dijon


si vous êtes intéressés, contactez nous !

quelques compléments à la soirée « Les Images oubliées de Germaine Tillion » sur les Aurès organisée par la Maison de la Méditerranée et la ville de Quetigny, février 2004

Présentation de Germaine Tillon

Pourquoi les Aurès?

Les Aurès :

* "La Côte d'Aurès": La Côte d'Or et les autres
* L'Aurès : Massif !
* L’Aurès : Délimitations administratives

La langue Chaoui

Les Aurès dans l’Histoire de France et d’Algérie

* Les Aurès des écrivains
* Les Aurès dans les films
* Artisanat des Aurès
* Chanteurs des Aurès
* Les Centres Sociaux en Algérie

Jeune ethnologue dans les Aurès des années 30, résistante, déportée, Germaine Tillion négocia pour le gouvernement français avec les dirigeants du FLN dans les années 50. Elle nous a quitté en 2008, à 100 ans ! Adieu Germaine, qim dhil hna !

A travers ce film, Germaine Tillion nous fait parcourir des allers et retours à travers le siècle et la Méditerranée avec un certain humour. Le débat qui a suivi, a porté sur la permanence de notre relation à l’Algérie, de tous les liens noués, y compris entre la Bourgogne et les Aurès, de tous ces petits morceaux d’Algérie qui constituent un peu de beaucoup d’entre nous.


Dans ces mémoires, diverses et contradictoires que nous devons croiser pour contribuer à l’apaisement des sociétés impliquées, l’œuvre de Germaine Tillion est présente, dans l’héritage des Centres sociaux comme dans sa démarche obstinée de dialogue.

Nous reproduisons ici le texte d’introduction puis celui (sans les images) des panneaux confectionnés par la Maison de la Méditerranée pour cette soirée qui a rassemblé une centaine de personnes à Quetigny (Côte d'Or ).

Le film et le débat sont au cœur du projet de la Maison de la Méditerranée :
Construire du lien à propos de :

* traversées de la Méditerranée : émigration, immigration, exil, rapatriement,
* patrimoine commun, à travers la Méditerranée
* croiser les mémoires, «pour que ta mémoire soit un peu de ma mémoire»

POURQUOI LES AURES ?

Les Aurès, l'Aurès ....Cette région de l’Algérie est dans les mémoires collectives, de la France et de beaucoup de Français, de l’Algérie et de beaucoup d’Algériens, notamment en Côte d'Or, en souvenirs de souffrance ou de soleil, d’enfance ou de jeunes adultes.

C’est un Patrimoine commun, Patrimoine Historique, archéologique,...

Patrimoine Naturel comme en témoigne «Les Images oubliées de Germaine Tillion» et les photos touristiques des gorges de Ghoufi, et des cédraies et si proches des palmeraies.


Enfin, 45 ans après le jumelage entre Côte d'Or et Aurès, en 2004, il y a toujours des Dijonnais dans les Aurès, des Chaouis en Côte d'Or, et plein de personnes qui vivent d’autres traversées de la Méditerranée, ne serait-ce que par le cœur.

Connaître les Aurès ne veut pas dire en faire un cas à part mais mieux les situer dans ce «pays d’en face» qu’est Algérie, et dans notre Méditerranée commune. La Côte d'Or et les Aurès sont sur le même méridien et à quelques lieues chacune, de la mer Méditerranée.

Se connaître sans s’enfermer, ni soi-même ni les autres dans des catégories fermées, cultiver ses multiples appartenances, nos points communs, la richesse de nos différences.


LES AURES

LA « COTE D'AURES » : LA COTE D'OR ET LES AURES

Ce qu’écrit Buffon sur «Auress» (dans «variètés dans l’espèce humaine» in «de l’homme», tome IX, p 208 : «les habitants d’Auress ont un air et une physionomie différente de celle de leur voisin ….» semble inspiré de Procope qui signalait dans les mons Aurasius «des Leucoaethiopiens, éthiopiens blancs» devenus, chez les premiers anthropologues coloniaux, «les Kabyles blonds du mont Auress» Djebel Aourès, présumés descendant des Vandales et distingués des «tribus Chaouïas» (Société d'anthropologie de Paris, Bulletins de la Société d'anthropologie de Paris, 1859-1860).

Stephen & Gaston Liégeard : de la Côte d'Or aux côtes du Constantinois
Inspiré de sa «Côte d'Or», le préfet Stephen Liégeard a inventé le nom de la «Côte d'Azur» qui a donné l’appellation de «Côte de Saphir», pour désigner la corniche de Petite Kabylie entre Bejaia et Djidjelli.

Le jumelage des Aurès avec le département de Côte d'Or en 1959-60.

En mai 1959, le Conseil général de Côte d'Or décide un jumelage avec l’assemblée locale de l’arrondissement de Batna. «Une association «Bourgogne Algérie» s’est créée sous le patronage des hautes autorités civiles et militaires de Dijon». Le préfet 21 demanda aux maires une «collecte de vêtements chauds» pour les écoliers de Batna, puis, l’été suivant, d’accueillir une vingtaine d’«enfants musulmans» des Aurès.

En 2004, il y a toujours des Dijonnais dans les Aurès, des Chaouis en Côte d'Or, et plein de personnes qui vivent d’autres traversées de la Méditerranée : que pour tous brille le soleil de M’Chounech et souffle le vent des Aurès !

Pourquoi ne pas faire revivre ce jumelage ?

Entre les montagnes des Aurès et les villes de France qu’ils ont construit .

L’AURES : MASSIF !

Les Aurès sont un toponyme d’une longévité exceptionnelle en Afrique :

*
Aurassius des Romains (Procope),
*
Auress pour le bourguignon Buffon,
*
Awràs en chaoui et en arabe.

Selon les cas, les Aurès en tant que massif englobent ou non les massifs périphériques de « l’Aurès» : le Bélezma (et son Parc national), les Ziban et surtout les Némentcha, nom vif dans la mémoire d’appelés.

Dernière station de verdure avant le Sahara, les Aurès alimentent en eau les palmeraies des Zibans, principales exportatrices de fruits et légumes d’Algérie

L’AURES : DELIMITATIONS ADMINISTRATIVES

Ses limites administratives ont évolué au gré des administrations coloniales puis algériennes.

Du temps de Germaine Tillion ,il y avait la commune mixte des Aurès, centrée sur Arris.

Pendant la ‘Guerre d’Algérie’/‘Révolution’, la Wilaya I (la première !), « Aurès-Nementcha », va de la frontière tunisienne (ligne Morice) à Bou-Saada.

En 1957, la France découpe dans le département de Constantine, le département de Batna qui va prendre le nom de département, puis de Wilaya des Aurès en englobant les arrondissements d’Arris, Batna, Merouane (ex Corneille), Barika, Khenchela et Biskra. (Tébessa n’y est rattaché que de 58 à 59).

Le code minéralogique resta 9B jusqu’en 64 (Notons que DZ qui étaient sur les voitures, les «lettres caractéristiques affectées à la Côte d'Or» jusqu’en 1940, sont devenues celles de l’Algérie ! (DjaZaïr)

En 1960-61, les projets Gaulliens de séparer le «Sahara français» de l’Algérie appelée à l’indépendance, ont failli faire des Aurès une région frontière d’avec une entité présidée par Olivier Guichard, mort en janvier 2004.

Aujourd'hui, les Aurès désigne un ensemble qui regroupe les Wilayas de Batna, Khenchela et Oum-El-Bouaghi. Mais celle de Biskra englobe une autre partie des Aurès.

LA LANGUE CHAOUI

«Chaouia» est un mot arabe, plutot péjoratif qui désigne aussi la plaine de Casablanca.
La caractéristique essentielle des Chaouias est de parler chaoui, sur une zone qui déborde largement les Aurès, dans des régions berbèrophones : la petite Kabylie et, en Tunisie, la Khroumirie.

Le dialecte chaoui («tacawit» en tamazight, prononcé thachaouith) est un des dialectes tamazight (berbère) d’Algérie, comme le kabyle, le mozabite, le chénoui, le zénète et le tamachaq des Touaregs. Depuis une dizaine d’année, il est enseigné dans les lycées des Aurès, écrit en caractères latins ou parfois arabes.

On prête au roi Massinissa, d’avoir diffusé, à côté de l’écriture punique, l’écriture lybique ou tifinagh, qui a survécu chez les Touareg. Elles ont été reprises et modernisées par les mouvements culturels berbères du nord de l’Algérie, puis du Maroc pour tenter de transcrire les autres dialectes du tamazight. Au Maroc, les écoliers étudient l'amazighe sur des manuels écrits dans l'alphabet tifinaghe depuis février 2004.

Cet aparté sur une écriture beaucoup plus minoritaire que la langue qu’elle transcrit, ne doit pas faire oublier que, bien qu’il n’y ait jamais eu en Algérie autant de quotidiens francophones qu’aujourd'hui (moins diffusés dans les Aurès que dans d’autres régions berbèrophones), la langue principale y est l’arabe , depuis son parler dialectal très imagé, popularisé par Kateb Yacine, jusqu’à sa version littéraire, pas toujours comprise des plus de 50 ans, dans les discours officiels, beaucoup plus créative dans la littérature arabophone.

LES AURES DANS L’HISTOIRE DE FRANCE ET D’ALGERIE

Le royaume numide de Massinissa, centré sur l’Aurès, a unifié un territoire correspondant à l’Algérie moderne. Le Médracen, mausolée des Imedghassen, aiëux de Massinissa, accueuille le visiteur des Aurès venant, par la route, de Constantine ou, par les airs, dans le nouvel aéroport de Batna.

LES AURES DES ECRIVAINS

«Ecrivains algériens, notre soudaine apparition a tari d’un coup et définitivement la source d’inspiration que l’Algérie a représentée et aurait pu continuer de le faire pour bon nombre d’écrivains français, tous genres confondus. Finis les palmiers, la magie des sables, les jeux interdits avec de jeunes garçons. Nous avons fermé les portes de ce paradis-là et mis la clef sous le paillasson.» (Mohamed Dib, mort fin 2003 dans sa dernière œuvre : Simorgh, 2003)

Effectivement, après des Français comme Gide qui situe son Immoraliste à El Kantara, ce sont des Algériens qui écrivent sur les Aurès : Boualem Sansal situe son roman, L’enfant fou de l’arbre creux, Gallimard, 2000 à Lambèse.

De la «kesra» sur la planche pour le cercle des lecteurs de la Maison de la Méditerranée !

LES AURES DANS LES FILMS

Deux films ont rappelé les Aurès aux spectateurs français :

"Le Vent des Aurès" (1966), Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina
Avoir 20 ans dans les Aurès, Vautier

ARTISANAT DES AURES

Les Aurès sont une des principales régions algériennes de production de tapis, notamment ceux de Haracta (Belezma) et des Nemencha (Babar) (Ministère de l’Information et de la culture, 1973, Les musées d’Algérie, II. L’art populaire et contemporain) mais aussi de Ghoufi.

CHANTEURS DES AURES


Bela Bartok en 1913, recueille des mélodies dans la région de Biskra, à Sidi-Okba, à El Kantara. «Bartok y découvre surtout une parenté avec tels aspects des musiques d’Europe centrale. Y aurait- il là une origine commune ?» (Citron P., Bartok, , Seuil, 1963)

Aujourd'hui de nombreux chanteurs chaouis célèbrent les Aurès :

*
Aissa Djermouni,
*
Ali Lkhencheli,
*
Les Berbères,
*
Thaziri, Dihya,
*
Markunda Aurès. …
*
et Houria Aïchi.

Dans le CD édité par l’association «20 ans, Barakat !» contre le code de la famille en Algérie la chanson «Ouach adak ya el qâdhi» «achou kyouren el qadhi» «eh juge ! qu’est-ce qui t’a pris ?» est interprétée en chaoui par Nadia Tachaouit et Keltoum el Aurassia.

LES CENTRES SOCIAUX EN ALGERIE

Lancés en 1955 par Germaine Tillion, les Centres Sociaux ont fait, à contre courant, un travail difficile en Algérie. On y crut jusqu'au bout à l'alphabétisation et à la formation professionnelle des jeunes et des adultes pour apprendre, enfin, à vivre ensemble un peu moins mal.

Parmi leurs animateurs, il faut citer les 6 inspecteurs de l'éducation nationale assassinés à Alger par l’OAS. Le 15 Mars 1962, un commando Delta de l’O.A.S. a méthodiquement assassiné Marcel BASSET, Robert EYMARD, Mouloud FERAOUN, Ali HAMMOUTENE, Max MARCHAND, Salah OULD AOUDIA.

Ils étaient six, Algériens et Français mêlés. Tous inspecteurs de l'éducation nationale, réunis le 15 mars 1962, trois jours avant la signature des accords d'Evian, à Château-Royal dans le quartier d'El Biar, près d'Alger. Parmi eux, Max Marchand, leur responsable, un Normand passionné d'Algérie, et Mouloud Feraoun, l'écrivain kabyle. Ils dirigent des centres sociaux lancés en 1955 par Germaine Tillion, (…). Un commando Delta de tueurs de l'OAS, commandé semble-t-il par l'ex-lieutenant Degueldre, les déchiqueta à l'arme automatique, ce jour-là, comme des chiens, dos au mur, pour qu'un dernier espoir s'éteigne. (Jean-Pierre Rioux)

Les centres sociaux en Algérie 2004

«les programmes des centres sociaux coloniaux mis en place le 27/10/1955 par le gouverneur général d’Algérie de l’époque.» ancêtres des «Foyers d’Animation de la Jeunesse ( FAJ) (1965)» sont présentés comme à la racine du Ministère (algérien) de la Jeunesse et des Sports et du Tourisme.

In Yellow House,Algerian filmmaker Amor Hakkar captures the beauty of a simple Berber village family living in hostile mountains whose happiness is shattered due to the unexpected death of their only son.Sadness is the main theme of this simple yet poignant film which is characterized by a very eclectic yet haunting musical score.Young Algerian musician Faycal Salhi recreates somber atmosphere in this film by making effective use of Oud,a musical instrument which is widely used in Arabic musical compositions.It can be expected that some viewers might like to compare "Yellow House" with David Lynch film "The Straight Story".Such a comparison is going to appear as valid only to some extent as the theme of one ordinary man against the system is a common element of both the films but there are a lot of cultural differences too which can be noticed in both these films.So in this manner Amor Hakkar's film is not at all an Algerian Straight Story.Acting performances are excellent in Yellow House despite the fact that its simple storyline could have induced its lead actors to involve in a bit of over acting.Amor Hakkar is to be applauded for the just manner in which he has played the role of a simple minded family chief who goes to claim his son's mortal remains from the city. Both Algerian cinema as well as Arab cinema have come to limelight again with the success of "La Maison Jaune" at various international film festivals such as Locarno and Kerala film festivals.Yellow house is a film with a valid reason to be watched as it shows us how ordinary people use all their available emotional resources in order to overcome the loss of their loved
I'M INTERNATIONAL BAAAAABYYYY

Kabylia :Hell of Summer 2009
27 July 2009

fr: Kabylie :l’enfer de l’été 2009

Every year since the re-deployment of the Army in Kabylia, the next day following the “re-election” of Bouteflika in 2004, summer and holiday period is a crafted hell by permanent criminal arsens. Eyes witnesses have constantly pinpoint the military as the authors who start them up. For recall, in 2007, even helicopters have been utilized to launch incendiary bombs on several olive groves, especially in the regions of Maatkas, Bouzegane, Amizour, and many others, far away from the islamist terrorists’ rat holes, who served them as a pretext for the bombardments and arsens.

This year from far surpasses all others before it in the number of nests, and as usual eye citizens’ accounts overwhelmingly point to the government as the instigator. Because of its hostility to the incombent regime since 1962, the region (Kabylia) undergoes infernal acts reprisal from the government.

Many indicators support the eye-witness accounts, amongst the following:

1 - No effort had been deployed to extinguish these fires. Worst, those Citizens whose homes and properties have attacked by the flammes were ordered by the nearby military to not attempt to save their belongings.

2- No investigation has ever been conducted to bring light onto these numerous and simultaneous arsens as to arrest the arsenists and bring to justice.

On Friday July 24, 2009, the Citizens of Tadmait, a locality located 18 Kms west of Tizi-Ouzou, the capital of Kabylia, surprized two government security officers red-handed setting up fires in the town. They were consequently beaten and one of them is reported to be in a critical sate.

The troops which arrived on the scene to take away from the population used force against Citizen and riots errupted. The Kabyle rioters responded by closing a highway segment about their town which connects Algiers to Tizi-Ouzou. So far, two nights of hostile exchange and many wounded people. Arrests also have been made amongst the youth of Tadmait.

The proof is, one more time, established that the Algerian government is behind the arsens which ravage Kabylia every summer, thus preventing the development of a beneficial tourism in our towns, by artificially nurturing terrorism and banditism in the region.

The Movement for the Autonomy of Kabylia (MAK) vigorously denounces this arsenist regime in all senses of the term and supports the young rioters of Tadmait. It is vital that those arrested be freed.

We call upon the Kabyle people to solidarity with the legitimate insurgents of this town and to be available for any public action that the circumstances may require.

Finally, the MAK brings to attention the simultaneity between this hell which the authorities inflame and the SOUFI chants which the minister of religious affairs wants to distribute at no charge to the Kabyles, titled: Tears before fire - A Psychological Warfare with illustration.

L’armée algérienne agresse le Pays Chawi

vendredi 31 juillet 2009

Au cœur de cette semaine, l’armée algérienne a « ratissé large » dans le Pays Chawi. Un important arsenal de guerre a été employé et déployé pour traquer quelques dizaines de larbins supposés terroristes. En effet des patrouilles, des hélicoptères et de l’artillerie lourde ont été utilisés pour bombarder des foyers de terroristes qui reprennent leurs activités meurtrières. Ces mêmes terroristes ont été libérés peu de temps auparavant par Bouteflika, chef suprême de l’armée algérienne, dans le cadre de la « réconciliation nationale » que nous avons dénonce ici même. C’est devenu un jeu, les terroristes se repentent, Alger les indemnisent, les protègent, les immunise, le tout en guise de reconnaissance pour les services rendus et en récompense pour leurs crimes commis a l’encontre de la population civile.

Si le constat de ces évènements est le même, les interprétations diffèrent. Les chawis pour qui la guerre pour « l’indépendance » n’est pas terminée et ils sont nombreux, croient que l’armée coloniale française a repris ses bombardements au napalm. Les chawis, notamment les plus âgés, pour qui l’Algérie a eu son « indépendance » et n’en ont pas bénéficié, les pires souvenirs et cauchemars, refont de nouveau surface. Et c’est doublement douloureux pour eux. Les chawis pour qui De-Gaulle, en 1962, légua le pays de Thamazgha centrale aux nouveaux colonisateurs estiment que les dernières attaques dans les monts des Aurès est une agression de l’armée algérienne contre le Pays Chawi et une déclaration de guerre. Nous faisons partie de cette catégorie de chawis.

Dans le Pays Chawi, durant la décennie noire, malgré les casernes implémentés un peu partout, l’armée algérienne a abandonné les petites gens, démunies et sans défense, et qui ont fini à leur tour par abandonner leurs biens et notamment les terres de leurs ancêtres pour se réfugier dans les grandes villes.

L’armée algérienne connait tout sur sa proie, les terroristes : les noms, les surnoms, les origines, les provenances et les destinations, les parcours personnels et professionnels, les chefs et les sous-chefs, l’effectif et les réserves, les déplacements et les bivouacs, les dissensions et les discordes.

En plein canicule, l’arme algérienne lance une soudaine offensive. La foret de Kimel, communément appelée la forêt de Ath-Melloul et qui s’étend sur plus de 12000 ha est au centre de cette opération dont la manière et le moment restent controversés et sèment le doute sur l’objectif de ce « large ratissage ».

Dans le Pays Chawi, les dernières années le tissu forestier, du moins ce qu’il en reste, a subi des dégâts importants. Les feux de forets dont l’extinction est laissée aux bon vouloir des dieux des vents et des pluies faute de moyens humains et matériels (calendaires) ont ravagé la faune et la flore et ont engendré une catastrophe écologique sans précédent faute de renouvèlement et de sauvegarde. Quand on a que les pelles... En lançant cette opération sous un thermomètre avoisinant les 50 degré Celsius, l’armée algérienne aggrave la situation et reproduit les méthodes cruelles de l’armée coloniale française. L’armée algérienne qui encerclait la région depuis un bon moment (lire : Le Mont Kimel encerclé par l’armée algérienne), au lieu de mener une vraie offensive pour en finir avec les groupes terroristes ou supposés pour en finir une fois pour toute, réagit à leurs attaques et par intermittence (il y a des mois un ratissage a été mené en réaction à l’attentat qui a fait 9 victimes dans les rangs de l’ANP à M’ziraa puis plus rien jusqu’à l’explosion d’une bombe qui a ciblé la patrouille de Kimel vendredi dernier faisant quatre blessés graves, dont deux militaires et deux gardes communaux). A quoi joue-l’armée algérienne ? Pour nous, citoyens du Pays Chawi, les motivations de l’armée algérienne sont ailleurs.

L’État et ses institutions notamment l’armée sont censés assurer, entre autres, la sûreté de ces citoyens. En Algérie, l’armée est corporatiste et au service d’une oligarchie, tenu et soutenu par ses hauts cadres. L’armée algérienne n’est ni nationale ni populaire. Dans le Pays Chawi, c’est aux Groupes de Légitime Défense (GLD), enfants du pays déshérites et engagés pour subvenir au besoin de leur famille, recrutes pendant la décennie noire par l’armée algérienne pour palier à l’insuffisance de son effectif et faire face à la recrudescence des actes de violence liés aux terrorisme des intégristes islamistes assassins, sont les premiers a être déployés devant le front pendant que certains font des affaires et négocient avec les « Émirs », chef terroristes, que l’armée algérienne est supposée combattre. Ces « tirailleurs sénégalais » de l’armée algérienne, des « sous-traitant de la guerre », sont les premiers fusibles qui sautent dans la chaine de montage d’une situation de paix-guerrière négociée à l’algérienne. Leur situation est précaire alors que l’armée algérienne s’installe paisiblement dans le Pays Chawi. Deux poids et deux mesures.

« La réconciliation nationale » décidée en 2005 est toujours d’actualité et n’est nullement remise en cause par les politiques d’Alger. Le terrorisme islamique non plus, il demeure.

L’axe M’sila, Biskra, Batna, Khenchela, Tebessa et El Oued est devenu une plaque tournante d’un trafic important de drogue, d’armes et du foncier. Des raisons dont la pertinence ne peut échapper même au plus néophyte en matière de stratégie militaire. Seule la population civile paie le lourd tribut : exode forcé, « terrorisme social », expropriation, économie de guerre, catastrophe écologique...

S’agit-il d’une pièce de théâtre dont les acteurs sont à la fois les « terroristes islamistes » et une partie de l’armée algérienne ? Si c’est le cas, nous pouvons affirmer sans hésitation qu’il s’agit d’un « terrorisme d’État », déguisé, organisé par establishment.

Les dépenses publiques faramineuses distribue par Alger pour bien vendre son image ( 3 milliards de dollars alloués à la construction de la grande mosquée d’Alger, 70 millions d’euro alloués à « Alger, capitale de la culture arabe », 100 millions de dollars alloues à l’organisation de la deuxième édition du festival culturel panafricain (PANAF), 360.000 euros alloues par l’Algérie pour la construction de la mosquée de Marseille) est un budget largement suffisant pour éradiquer le terreau du terrorisme et financer des vrais projets de développement pour les habitants de Kimel, Meg Azugagh et Adrar Aziza, lieux des derniers bombardements de l’armée algérienne.

Hier le Pays Chawi et la Kabylie étaient les poumons d’une guerre de libération anticoloniale et aussi le centre d’une répression féroce menée par l’armée française contre les fiefs de la résistance. Aujourd’hui et au même moment, les deux régions subissent les pires des représailles menées par l’armée algérienne. L’histoire se répète et se ressemble. Sans oublie les évènements du M’zab et la guerre des Twarag. Un pire hasard ou un ajustement de calendrier du processus d’extermination du peuple amazigh.
