Kabylia in One Voice: Rebuffing the MAK’s Treacherous Designs — We Are Algerian, and Algeria Is Indivisible
✍️ BY: Dr. Hana Saada
Algiers – November 2025 – In the limestone folds of Kabylia, where patriotism clings to the slopes like ancient olive trees to their crags, an unmistakable civic chorus has risen to repudiate the separatist machinations of the Movement for the Self-Determination of Kabylie (MAK). The message, uttered plainly and repeatedly in the markets of Tizi Ouzou, in the villages that cling to mountain roads, and in conversations that span generations, is categorical: the MAK does not speak for the Kabyle people, nor does it embody the history, dignity, or values of this land.
Witnesses recorded spontaneously in streets and squares confirm what every honest observer can see: the MAK’s project is alien to the region’s proud heritage of national struggle and sacrifice. It is not merely a political demand; it is an attempt to convert a local heritage of resistance into a veneer for agendas that threaten the Republic’s unity. Those who invoke the name of Kabylia to justify division are met with contempt. Ferhat M’henni—who claims leadership of this movement and whose activities abroad have been at the center of controversy—is, the people insist, devoid of any genuine popular legitimacy among the Kabyle masses. The refrain is emphatic and relentless: “Kabylia is not for sale.” The region’s history is too vast, its memory too sacred, to be reduced to the brittle script of a shaky separatist enterprise.
Listen to any square where ordinary citizens speak without the filter of microphones and the PR gloss, and you will hear the same insistence: the MAK represents itself and itself alone. The speeches of its leaders, far from articulating a credible civic programme, read as a thinly veiled cover for murky external influences and malicious designs that have nothing to do with the everyday concerns of farmers, teachers, students and traders who sustain Kabylia. For families whose memory is anchored in struggle and whose coffers of sacrificial stories are endless, the MAK’s slogans ring hollow; they are seen as an ill-fitted costume worn to mask agendas that seek to corrode national fabric rather than to heal it.
Across age groups—schoolchildren returning from lessons, veterans of the nation’s liberation, women who keep the hearths and histories alive—there is a unanimity that should alarm any partisan of destabilization: attempts to present the MAK as the “voice of Kabylia” are transparent and doomed to failure. The Kabyle people recall, with sharp clarity, their central role in building the Algerian state and in defending its unity. They reject being enlisted, whether knowingly or unwittingly, in schemes that would dismember the country they love. This is not passive loyalty; it is an active, living repudiation of anything that contravenes national cohesion.
As December 14 approaches, the popular stance takes on renewed resonance. Citizens from the northern coasts to the southern steppes will mark the day as an opportunity to reaffirm what Kabylia has always known: Algeria is one indivisible nation. The rhetoric of foreign-fed separatism will find no purchase where communities are determined to protect the social contract—where the memory of martyrs is not a slogan but a covenant that bars any attempt at partition. The inhabitants of the region declare their readiness to raise a collective voice strong enough to drown out the hollowing calls of those who would sever the country.
These declarations do more than repudiate a single organisation; they deliver a message to the world: Kabylia stands shoulder to shoulder with the Algerian state in rejecting conspiracies aimed at destabilization. Attempts to sow discord between citizens will fail against a populace that knows the price of division and has paid for unity. The prevailing conviction among residents is simple and immovable: Algeria’s territorial integrity is inviolable, and the union of its people forms an impenetrable bulwark against every project of secession, foreign meddling, and orchestrated anarchy.
In closing, the people of Kabylia speak not out of fear but out of clarity. Their affirmation—“we are Algerian and we will remain Algerian”—is both a moral judgment and a civic injunction. The Kabyle region will not be represented by those who traffic in fragmentation; it belongs to its honorable sons and daughters. Terrorist organisations and their plots will find no foothold in a society that understands the meaning of homeland and the duty to defend its unity. The MAK’s designs, exposed and condemned in village after village, will collapse under the weight of history, common sense, and the unambiguous will of a people who refuse to be misrepresented.
