Kabylie or Kabylia (Kabyle: Tamurt Iqbayliyen, Tamurt n Leqbayel or Tamurt idurar), is a country in the north of Africa that is bordered by Algeria. Is part of the Tell Atlas and is located at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Kabylia is divided in several provinces that were once part of Algeria: the whole of Tizi Ouzou and Bejaia (Bgayet), most of Bouira and parts of the wilayas of Bordj Bou Arreridj, Jijel, Boumerdes, and Setif. Gouraya National Park and Djurdjura National Park are also located in Kabylie.

History

Pre-Doomsday

By the hypothesis that North Africa was once covered with water, the only land left for people to have inhabited is what appears to now be the Atlas.

Mountains. The Kabyle people have always inhabited the peaks of the Algerian Highlands, a part of the Atlas Mountains in eastern Algeria. Except for the Germanic clan known as the Vandals, no other peoples have ever co-existed with them on their territory - neither the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Turks or the French. While most of these invaders established military forts on seashore cities, the contact with the local peoples past the Atlas chain, has remained minimal. No invader succeeded in imposing its rule over the Kabyle people until the French, late in the middle of the 19th century - a cohabitation which eventually led to a conflict of sovereignty, resulting in the notorious Algerian War, which lasted eight years from 1954 to 1962.

Though the region was the last stronghold against French colonization, the area was gradually taken over by the French from 1857 onwards, despite vigorous local resistance by the local population. Much land was confiscated in this period from the more recalcitrant tribes and given to French Pieds-Noirs. Many arrests and deportations were carried out by the French, mainly to New Caledonia. Colonization also resulted in an acceleration of the emigration into other areas of the country and outside of it.

Tensions developed between Kabyle leaders and the central government on several occasions, initially in 1963, and later on in the 1980s when issues over language arose.

Post-Doomsday

After Doomsday, Algeria fell into chaos, with warlords and Islamic leaders seceding into various nations and cities, turning Algeria into a small rump state around Algiers. One of the first organized states that seceded was Kabylie. As Algeria recovered from the chaos and as many of the former nations of Algeria invaded and annexed each other, Kabylie was in a relative peaceful moment, having closed its borders and established defences. In the late 1980s Kabylie opened up diplomatically, establishing relations with both nearby states, and two across the Algerian section of the Sahara - Tamanrasset and Tamahaq.

Hellenic Influence

In 1996, as the Confederation of Greece made contact with Algeria and much of the area entered the Greek sphere of influence. With the help of the Greeks, an Algerian government reformed in 2003 from remnants of the old government and some of the city-states. This new government annexed many of the break-away nations, usually through peaceful means, though using their military in the case of several aggressive holdouts.

Several, one of which being Kabylie, did not want rejoin the Algerian state, and refused to do so. Due to a combination of Greek pressure, peaceful relations, and military strength - combined with distance and isolation in the case of Tamanrasset and Tamahaq - they remained so.

Sicilian Problems and Alliance with the Greece

In 2004, Sicily, which the Kabylians call "the Neo-Roman Empire" invaded nearby Sardinia and Tunisia. These started a massive wave of panic and fear in all Algeria and former Algeria, which led the majority of the nations of Algeria to ally with Greece and its allies, including Kabylie.

On March 16 of 2009, a group of Kabylian pirates, supported by Sicily, attacked a League of Nations ship near the coast. The only casualty of that incident was seen on a video that was shown first on Kabylian News TV in which a League of Nations Staff Member from The Alpine Confederation was decapitated. On January 3, 2010, a joint ADC-Kabylian operation captured the pirate ship, and killed the pirates and saved all of the staff, except the one already executed.

Eventually in 2009, the Second Sicilian War broke out, and the Kabylians allied with the Greeks and the ADC, aiding their forces when they invaded Tunisia in September of 2010. Greece has offered Kabylie the chance to join the newly-founded Greek Federation, but they declined, saying that they would prefer to stay independent for the time being. It is, however, considered very likely that they will join the Atlantic Defense Community in the near future.

Geography

Kabylie landscape

The Great Kabylia, which runs from Thénia (west) to Bejaia (east), and from the Mediterranean Sea (north) to the valley of Soummam (south), that is tosay, 200 km by 100 km, beginning 50 km fromAlgiers, the capital of Algeria.
Kabylia of Bibans and Kabylia of Babors, which form the Little Kabylia.

Three large chains of mountains occupy most of the area:

In the north, the mountain range of maritime Kabylia, culminating with Tifrit n'Ait El Hadj (Tamgout 1278 m)
In the south, the Djurdjura, dominating the valley of Soummam, culminating with Lalla-Khedidja (2308 m)
Between the two lies the mountain range of Agawa, which is the most populous and is 800 m high on average. The largest town of Great Kabylia, Tizi Ouzou, lies in that mountain range. Larbaa Nat Iraten(formerly "Fort-National" in French occupation), which numbered 28,000 inhabitants in 2001, is the highest urban centre of the area.

Ecology

There are a number of flora and fauna associated with this region. Notable is a population of the endangered primate, Barbary Macaque, Macaca sylvanus, whose prehistoric range encompassed a much wider span than the present limited populations in Algeria, Morocco and Gibraltar.

Population

The area is populated by the Kabyles, the second most populous Berber people after the Chleuhs in Morocco. Their name means "tribe" (from the Arabic "qabîlah" قبيلة). They speak the Kabyle variety of Berber.

Economy

The traditional economy of the area is based on arboriculture and on the craft industry. The mountain and hill farming is gradually giving way to local industry.

Today Kabylie is the most industrialized part of the former Algeria. Industries include: pharmaceutical industry in Bejaia, agro-alimentary in Ifri and Akbou, mechanical industry in Tizi Ouzou and other little towns of western Kabylia, and petrochemical industry and refining of petrole in Begaia.

Bejaia's port is the 6th largest of the Mediterranean Sea.

Culture

Language

The principal language used by the Kabyls is Kabyle, which is spoken both at home and professionally. Speakers take great pride in the Kabyle language. Also recently a mix of Greek and Kabyle has arisen in the port cities.

Religion

The vast majority of Kabyle are nominal Sunni Muslims, though secularizing influences are strong. Small minorities are Roman Catholic or secular. There has been a growth of Protestant Evangelicals in recent years.

Architecture and Arts

Although architecture remains Neo-Islamic, Neo-Hellenic designs have arisen in recent years thanks to the Confederation of Greece. Western Arts have also increased in recent years.

Foreign Relations

Kabylie has good relations with other Berber nations and the Tuareg nations. Although it has relations with Algeria, the relations are tense, because Kabylie was part of Algeria in the past. Kabylie is one of the allies of the Greek Federation, and has been one ever since the Sicilians invaded Tunisia, though they took a year to involve themselves in the Second Sicily War after the Federation was attacked. Kabylie is a member of the LoN and has been since its founding in 2008 thanks to Greece.

In part due to their status as an ally of the Federation, Kabylie applied for the ADC on December 20th, 2010, after the conclusion of the Second Sicily War, with Greek support, alongside Rhodope.

Politics

Two political "algerianist" parties have their principal base of supporters in Kabylia: the FFS, led by Hocine Aït Ahmed, and the RCD, led by Saïd Sadi. Both parties are secularist, Berberist and "Algerianist".

Parties:

Rally for Culture and Democracy
Socialist Forces Front
Party for Kabylie-Greece Unification
Kabyl Party of Algerian Reunification

-Mountains. The Kabyle people have always inhabited the peaks of the Algerian Highlands, a part of the Atlas Mountains in eastern Algeria. Several sources, from anthropology to the genome, conclude that the Kabyles are autochthonous inhabitants of this territory, also commonly referred to as "Homeland". Except for the Germanic clan known as the Vandals, no other peoples have ever inhabited with them on their territory - neither the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Turks or the French. While most of these invaders established military forts on seashore cities (originally built by Phoenicians), the contact with the local peoples past the Atlas chain, which constitutes an impressive barrier, has remained minimal. In Kabyle lands, Roman troops lost their advantage, and local insurgents found refuge. No invader succeeded in imposing its rule over the Kabyle people until the French, late in the middle of the 19th century - a cohabitation which eventually led to a conflict of sovereignty, resulting in the notorious Algerian War, which lasted eight years from 1954 to 1962.

-Modern age
-Though the region was the last stronghold against French colonization, the area was gradually taken over by the French from 1857, despite vigorous local resistance by the local population led by leaders such as Faḍma n Sumer, continuing as late as Mokrani's rebellion in 1871. Much land was confiscated in this period from the more recalcitrant tribes and given to French ''pieds-noirs''. Many arrests and deportations were carried out by the French, mainly to New Caledonia. Colonization also resulted in an acceleration of the emigration into other areas of the country and outside of it.

-Tensions developed between Kabyle leaders and the central government on several occasions, initially in 1963, when the Socialist Forces Front party of Hocine Aït Ahmed contested the use of the name of a popular resistance movement as a political party, by Nasserian agents, of lower grade within the FLN,

-incapable of organizing their respective regions to provide delegates for the establishment of the 1st Legitimate Algerian Constitution. Organized as a temporary Government a Junta with allegiance, and military support from Nasser and other Pan-Arabists succeeded in preventing such a convention and a legitimate Constitution voted by a legitimate parliament. A year armed confrontation resulted, in which most FLN leaders from Kabylia and the eastern provinces were either executed or pushed to exile. In 1980, several months of demonstrations demanding the official recognition of the Tamazight/Berber language, known as the Berber Spring, took place in Kabylie and Algiers, resulting in an extra-judiciary imprisonment of thousands of pro-Berber Algerian intellectuals. The Government security forces besieged and violently prevented a Berber poetry recital organized by the faculty and student of the main city of Kabylia, Tizi-Wezzu.
 ==='''Post-Doomsday'''===
-After Doomsday, [[Algeria (1983: Doomsday)|Algeria]] fell into chaos, with warlords and islamic leaders seceding into various nations and cities, turning Algeria into a small rump state. One of the first and few (and possible the only one) organized state that secede was Kabylie made by the Kabylian people. As Algeria recovered from the chaos and a many former Algeria nations invaded and annexed other nations, Kabylie was in a relative peaceful moment. In 1985 Kabylie for the first time since Doomsday open from isolation as it start diplomatic relations with a former Algerian state, known as [[Tamanrasset (1983: Doomsday)|Tamanrasset]] , the chief city and now state of the Algerian tuaregs. Later in the late 1980's Kabylie enjoined as they discovered other Berber and Tuareg states and make relations such as: Chaoui by the Chaouis, Tamahaq by the Tamahaq tuaregs, Chenoia by the Chenoua berbers, M'zab by the Mozabites, and many others.

Eventually as the Kabylians decide to die before to surrender, the war lasted longer,  the many greeks located there returned to Greece, and the Greeks decided that the land should be returned to the Kabylians, so they signed a ceasefire in 2000 in which Kabylie recognized the annexation of various states to Algeria, that it doesn't recognized some states mentioned in the treaty that secede from Algeria (but the Tuareg and Berber nations were not mentioned), and in which Greece and Algeria recognized Kabylie.
-Just after the war , the Kabylians with the help of their former enemies, Greece and Algeria reconstructed the country.
