Qui sont vraiment les Kabyles ? Des origines à nos jours

The Kabyles represent the best-known Amazigh, or Berber, group. Indeed, the cultural and identity claims of this Berber people, located in Kabylia, are very strong. Over time, they have managed to preserve their identity. But who are they really? What are the differences between a Kabyle, a Shilha, and a Rifian? Kabylia has a very ancient history. To define what a Kabyle is, one must trace the history of Kabylia back at least 2,000 years.
