Homage to Chabane Slimani - Tajmilt i Caavan At Ḥemmu

Chabane Slimani was born in 1962 in Amechras, Kabylia. In 2007 he moved to At-Willul and very quickly fell in love with this country of which he naturally became a citizen. The war waged against Gaddafi in 2011 in which he actively participated strengthened his ties with Imazighen of At-Willul and Infusen as well as his sense of belonging to this country for which he had fought and was ready to give his life to. After the fall of the Khaddafi regime, Chabane continued to serve in the Amazigh military forces which control all of the Amazigh territory and ensure its security.
But on January 5, 2018, very early in the morning, Arab militias from Zentan belonging to the forces under the command of Osama Jouilli appointed by the government of Sarraj, based in Tripoli, for the control of the western part of Libya, attacked, cowardly, the village Boukemmache located about forty kilometers from the town of Zouara in At-Willul. Chabane was one of the troops that went to this village to push back the Zentan militias and it was there that he was killed.
With his act, Chaâbane sets us a monumental example of Amazighness. He will forever remain a symbol of the Amazigh fight for Freedom.
