What exactly are the pre-Islamic rituals, customs and beliefs that many sources say Kabyles (and Amazigh in general) still hold?
Farmers, navigators, rebels, pirates, soldiers and above all, free men. The Amazigh people have populated North Africa for thousands of years and despite continuous invasions, they continue to preserve their culture and traditions. Herodotus called us the descendants of Troy who fled to North Africa after it was conquered by the Greeks, Sallustus called us Persian, and Procopus called us Cananeans who fled to North Africa after David defeated Goliath. But we are natives in North Africa.
If someone’s curious about our Amazigh Tifinagh, what’s the best way to describe it that’s easy quick and concise without boring or getting too detailed and it going over the head, especially for many who didn’t even know Amazigh/Berber people existed or only knew us as Barbary pirates?
