 The following (see attachment below in pdf) is the final French language version of the Amazigh Caucus Declaration as drafted by almost 13 Amazigh associations from around the world that took part at the 8th Session of the Permanent Forum of the Indigenous Issues at the United Nations. Tomorrow will be the last day of the session. The English version will be drafted soon. ACAA was among the Amazigh Associations that took part at this session and we will make it a tradition to attend every year. I personally was amazed and impressed by the level of info displayed at the forum and all the great people I met from all over the world. We will sure put that to good use in the future to serve our culture and our people. I encourage all Amazigh associations in America and elsewhere to get involved in the future. It is a great venue to expose to the world your culture and help in promoting it, interact and network with other indigenous cultures at various levels and build a better world by being a citizen of the world. The permanent forum was created by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) mainly to discuss Indigenous issues within the Council, including Economic and Social Development, Culture, Environment, Educations, Health and Human Rights. The Climate Change and its impact on the Indigenous populations were one of the main topics discussed at the Forum. The Amazigh Caucus was well represented and we will get more organized next year. We were glad to meet many leaders from the Morrocan and Touareg associations. Kamira Nat-Sid and Ferhat Mehenni were the ambassadors from Kabylia and made a great impact with their interventions by speaking up on the main issues currently happening in Algeria. This hopefully will help in expediting the resolution of the main issues and push the process of democracy forward. For more details, please refer to http://www.un. org/esa/socdev/ unpfii/en/ session_eighth. html. All pertinent info are published. Cheers to all and God Bless Aomar Bensilmane ACAA President New York, May 28, 2009

 The following is a summary in English of a book published in French
These exiles that I care for: The Migration of a Kabyl Youth
It all began in the early 1970s in a village of the mountains of Kabylia, Algeria. A young boy barely 10 years of age helps the men and women of the village write correspondences with their loved ones gone to work in France. Taïeb Ferradji was one of the few who could read and write...
Forty years later, at the Avicenne hospital of Bobigny, Kabyl villager now psychiatrist, he listens to what migrants from the four corners of the world have to say. These migrants have in common the golden dream of new land, their past suffering and the hardship of separation with their native land.
In a tender and at times tragic account, a doctor tells his own story of a migrant. A journey hustled by the jolts of Algeria's history. A simple and touching story that puts words on the wounds of any exile, to alleviate the past and to dare to exist.

The Amazigh Cultural Association in America is deeply saddened by the loss of Mohamed Bensmail of Philadelphia. We hope he can now rest in peace. Mohamed left a wife and 5 children, the oldest of whom is 16 years old.
Imaziɣen of Philadelphia collected enough money to take care of his funeral and the shipping of his body to his native Kabylia. They have done a tremendous job and we all are grateful for their solidarity. Thank you!
Now, it is time to help the grieving family during these very trying times. So, please help by sending your check or money order to the ACAA address (go to the contact us page), or bring your contribution to our Tafsut Commemoration in New York City this saturday. Please make your check or money order to the name of Malha Bensmail. ACAA will collect all donations and present them in an envelope to Mohamed's widow.
Thank you for your support. Afus deg ufus ay imaziɣen, ur ilaq a neɣli.

ACAA is pleased to present you the following article by Jillian York which appeared in The Huffington Post.
Once again, this is a testimony to the Moroccan government's Amazigh phobia. Please forward this link to your friends and let the world know that the Amazigh people are denied basic rights in their own land!
