Kabyle Skirmishers

kabyle_skirmishers

The Kabyle Skirmishers are the highland fighters of the Djurdjura and the Babor east of Algiers — the Zwāwa of the Arabic geographers, counted subjects of the Hafsid sultan at Béjaïa and paying him nothing. Their kinsmen have made empires before now: the Kutāma of the eastern hills were the army that carried the Fatimids into Ifrīqiya, and Ṣanhāja of the same stock founded the Zirid and Hammadid dynasties after them. They harass a marching column with thrown spears and are gone into ground no formation can follow. This mountain-warfare tradition gives the Maghrebi armies a flanking arm for the hilly, wooded country where pitched-battle infantry cannot maneuver.
