Kabylia :Hell of Summer 2009
fr: Kabylie :l’enfer de l’été 2009
Every year since the re-deployment of the Army in Kabylia, the next day following the “re-election” of Bouteflika in 2004, summer and holiday period is a crafted hell by permanent criminal arsens. Eyes witnesses have constantly pinpoint the military as the authors who start them up. For recall, in 2007, even helicopters have been utilized to launch incendiary bombs on several olive groves, especially in the regions of Maatkas, Bouzegane, Amizour, and many others, far away from the islamist terrorists' rat holes, who served them as a pretext for the bombardments and arsens.
This year from far surpasses all others before it in the number of nests, and as usual eye citizens' accounts overwhelmingly point to the government as the instigator. Because of its hostility to the incombent regime since 1962, the region (Kabylia) undergoes infernal acts reprisal from the government.
Many indicators support the eye-witness accounts, amongst the following:
1 – No effort had been deployed to extinguish these fires. Worst, those Citizens whose homes and properties have attacked by the flammes were ordered by the nearby military to not attempt to save their belongings.
2- No investigation has ever been conducted to bring light onto these numerous and simultaneous arsens as to arrest the arsenists and bring to justice.
On Friday July 24, 2009, the Citizens of Tadmait, a locality located 18 Kms west of Tizi-Ouzou, the capital of Kabylia, surprized two government security officers red-handed setting up fires in the town. They were consequently beaten and one of them is reported to be in a critical sate.
The troops which arrived on the scene to take away from the population used force against Citizen and riots errupted. The Kabyle rioters responded by closing a highway segment about their town which connects Algiers to Tizi-Ouzou. So far, two nights of hostile exchange and many wounded people. Arrests also have been made amongst the youth of Tadmait.
The proof is, one more time, established that the Algerian government is behind the arsens which ravage Kabylia every summer, thus preventing the development of a beneficial tourism in our towns, by artificially nurturing terrorism and banditism in the region.
The Movement for the Autonomy of Kabylia (MAK) vigorously denounces this arsenist regime in all senses of the term and supports the young rioters of Tadmait. It is vital that those arrested be freed.
We call upon the Kabyle people to solidarity with the legitimate insurgents of this town and to be available for any public action that the circumstances may require.
Finally, the MAK brings to attention the simultaneity between this hell which the authorities inflame and the SOUFI chants which the minister of religious affairs wants to distribute at no charge to the Kabyles, titled: Tears before fire – A Psychological Warfare with illustration.
Long Live Kabylia

Arsons in Kabylia
In the summer of 2003, I was on my way to kabylia, few miles before the village of Adekar coming from Yakouren, I saw a fire on the right hand side of the road close to a military encampment I stopped to warn some young men that there is a fire close the military encampment, they told me the soldiers are ones that created these fires in the first place. I mean the fire was raging and these soldiers did not even try to extinguish it, they wait supposedly for the fire truck to extinguish it, stupid morons. These soldiers come to buy bread and food in Adekar with guns pointing toward people, it is like an army of occupation. It is time to decide for our future as Kabyles otherwise we will be mired in the Arabic mess.
