		In April 2001, the Kabyles began a series of protests sparked initially by the death in police custody of a Berber youth.

	Salem Chaker: More than a suggestion, a necessity!
		The Kabyle political elite are frightened to the point of paralysis by the idea of assuming as much as they should, that is to say, representing the particular interests of their region.
		The majority of Kabyles live henceforth outside Kabylia, and it cannot be a question of cutting the region off from the comprehensive whole of which it is a part.
