hij wordt te spreken van opstand overdreven, want er was geen gevecht.


Ifri

Al die Imazighen die vroeger de man uithingen, bleken allen niets waard te zijn, want waar zitten wij nu?

Men dacht dat Tamazight als onkruid ging groeien, men dacht dat Tamazight zoals onkruid nooit vergaat en zo heeft men Tamazight behandeld zoals onkruid, wel je hebt het goed mis, nu nadert Tamazigh de laatste fase van vernietiging, binnenkort ga je horen dat Imazighen zoals Aboriginals zijn of zoals Hottentots,

Er was geen enkele Amazigh leider buiten Massinissa, die echt ervoor geijverd heeft om één Amazigh staat, één Amazigh taal, één Amazighleger op te richten, één Amazighbeschaving tot stand te brengen, een sterk volk met een visie zoals al de andere volkeren,

Allen dachten enkel aan het afslachten van hun buurstam, ja ik ben Aith Wayagher, en wij Aith Wayagher waren ook schuldig,

MOROCCO: Taming the Tribes
Monday, Feb. 04, 1957 

For centuries the fierce Berber tribes, sons of Ham, have been the scourge of Morocco. Time and again they have come galloping down from the Atlas Mountains to loot and rape. Because the French have not hesitated to use them for "pacifying" rebellious villages, they were always a threat to the Moroccan independence movement. One exception were the Tafilalet Berbers, led by Chief Addi ou Bihi, who sided with exiled Sultan Mohammed ben Youssef. When Ben Youssef was restored to the throne in 1955 to become the first Sultan of Free Morocco, one of his first acts was to appoint Addi ou Bihi Governor of Tafilalet province, a vast domain between the Sahara desert and the Atlas mountains in southeast Morocco.

Divided Loyalty. But black-bearded Addi soon fell foul of the government and the militant Istiqlal (Independence) Party, which wanted to bring Tafilalet in line with the rest of forward-moving Morocco. "The Istiqlal," said Addi, "is a menace to our Sultan," i.e., it menaced Addi. Most of the Tafilalet caids (the local tribal rulers) were Addi's sons or retainers, and the nationwide judiciary reform, which ruled that caids must be replaced by government-appointed judges, struck at the roots of tribal power. When the national government sent inspectors and emissaries, Addi jailed a few. He rejected a summons to Rabat and began assembling his Berber warriors.

Sultan Mohammed ben Youssef (now grandly styled Sultan Mohammed V) was cruising in the Mediterranean last week when Addi learned that a new government appointed judge was on his way to Tafilalet. The judge arrived by air in Midelt, a mountain village built around an old red clay crenelated fortress in a cedar forest below the snow-capped Atlas peaks. Addi gave the signal, and some 3,000 Berber horsemen clad in white-and-brown burnooses swept down on Midelt. They quickly surrounded the fortress, captured the Rabat-appointed judge and 18 local policemen.

Down Arms. In Rabat young (28) Prince Regent Moulay Hassan summoned the Cabinet and called his father Ben Youssef on the phone. Next morning the Moroccan state radio broadcast a royal proclamation declaring that Addi ou Bihi had been fired from the governership and that "anyone who continues to obey him will be considered a traitor to Islam." That did it. Two battalions of the royal Moroccan army, plowing through 150 miles of snow-covered mountain roads, found the old hawk-nosed Berber chieftain camped in the cedar forest with only 200 warriors still standing beside him. "Présentez armes!" cried Addi. The ..warriors snapped to attention, then let their rifles fall to the ground, a symbol of surrender. The ceremony was followed by an ample lunch, attended by Addi, in the red clay fort.

Everybody was happy. For Sultan ben

Youssef's government the bloodless collapse of Addi was a triumph. To the people of Morocco it seemed that the new order was finally taming the wild men of the Atlas Mountains.
