Qui sont les Chaouis ? Des origines à nos jours

Who are the Chaoui? This people inhabits the Aurès Mountains in eastern Algeria. Let's trace their history from antiquity, beginning with the Kingdom of the Massylii in 400 BC, through the Roman, Byzantine, Muslim, Ottoman, and contemporary periods. I propose a history of the Chaoui that will answer the following question: Are the Chaoui of today the heirs of those of yesterday? Which variant of Berber do the Chaoui speak? I have chosen to focus on the key historical events that have shaped the destiny of the Aurès, these mountains in Algeria where the Chaoui people have always lived. #amazigh #algeria #chaoui #batna #kabyle #berber #history #algeria #northafrica
