North Africa

It’s nice that people care about the plight of Berber’s and Arabs only when the television tells them to care. You don’t speak a single word of Tamazight. You can’t spell Imazighen, and you couldn’t tell the difference between a Rif and a Kabylie. Yet I do welcome your slacktivism, as I am sure my brothers’ suffering is eased by your half-hearted concerns. This has been a continuous suffering that predates the World Wars. They have been slaughtered and subjected to slavery for centuries, and no one gave a damn. So why now? Why do you care now? Tell me. Tell me.
