Don't make the mistake of believing that Pan-Arabism is a harmless ideology.

Not even 15 years ago, people were killed in the Maghreb for teaching their Berber history or for speaking their language.

No one realized the lie and the ideological goal of dragging the Berbers through the mud behind these kinds of false assertions.

This parameter should encourage the greatest caution when talking about the Berbers, especially when the goal is to deconstruct them.

[North African Legacy @NorthAfricanL]

@Ballandalus Again, Ramzi Rouighi lied about many things in his book.

Example:

The name "Amazigh" was well used by all the Berbers of Northwest Africa to designate their unity and their people, this fact is well noted in precolonial times.

In truth, Ramzi Rouighi made much more serious errors in his book. The errors you state are nothing compared to those we noted @lameensouag.

Yet no one seems to have stated them yet, so we will.

@monicaMedHist @Boothicus @pontus_skoglund @SarahTishkoff @KeoluFox @mitoPR @paleogenomics @johnhawks 5 years have passed since the book appeared and still no one has noticed all the errors and lies contained in it.

As they say: When lies take the elevator, the truth takes the stairs.

@monicaMedHist @Boothicus @pontus_skoglund @SarahTishkoff @KeoluFox @mitoPR @paleogenomics @johnhawks It would be a question of finding out in depth about the history of North-West Africa before praising the first forger who came to preach his ideological parish to a visibly uninformed public.

@AAMountaine @lameensouag @USC Ramzi Rouighi will release a third book to explain that Leo Africanus, Marmol, Charles Vallancey and Jazula tribes worked together to create pre-colonial Amazigh propaganda lol.

@AAMountaine @lameensouag The funny thing is that it was relayed by @USC.

The level is catastrophic.

What we can be sure of, however, is that the Berbers have been called Amazighs since well before the colonial era and that they are indeed descended from the Ancient Libyans.

[North African Legacy @NorthAfricanL]

Indeed, the greatest weakness of the Berber people is that they have not preserved writings or opinions concerning their vision of themselves. So Pan-Arabist ideologists such as Ramzi Rouighi benefit from it.

[North African Legacy @NorthAfricanL]

Epigraphs show that the Berbers had used this term to designate themselves as well, abandoning the old term "Libyan".

For example, the Jazula, a Berber group reported from the Middle Ages, claimed to be descendants of the ancient Gaetulians, the Gaetulians were considered to be of Libyan origin.

Fact reported in the 16th century.

Regarding the fact that the term "Berber" would originally come from the Horn of Africa, this is his opinion.

We know that certain Amazigh groups began to be called by this term at the end of Antiquity.
