MUMA GADDAFI WAS A "BERBER" NOT AN "ARAB"
Contrary to what we have thought all the while, that Pan-Afrikan leader Muma Gaddafi was an Arab, he was actually a Berber (indigenous Afrikan).
GADDAFI WAS A BERBER
"Muammar Mohammed AbuMinyar Gaddafi was born at a tent, near Qasr Abu Hadi, a rural area outside the town of Sirte in the deserts of Tripolitania, western Libya. His family came from a small, relatively uninfluential tribal group called the Qadhadhfa, who were /Arabized Berber/ in heritage."

THE BERBERS
Berbers or Amazighs (Berber languages: ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ Imaziɣen; singular: ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ Amaziɣ / Amazigh) are an ethnic group indigenous to North Afrika, primarily inhabiting the Maghreb. They are distributed in an area stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt, and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Niger River in West Afrika. Historically, they spoke Berber languages, which together form the Berber branch of the Afroasiatic family. Since the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the seventh century, a large number of Berbers inhabiting the Maghreb (Tamazgha) have in varying degrees used as lingua franca the other languages spoken in North Africa.

REGIONS WITH SIGNIFICANT BERBER POPULATIONS
Most Berber people live in North Afrika, mainly in Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. Small Berber populations are also found in Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso and Egypt, as well as large immigrant communities living in France, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and other countries of Europe.
BERBER POPULATION STATISTICS
Algeria From 9 to ≈ ~32,000,000
Morocco from ≈ 14 million to ≈ 20 million to 27,078,593
Libya ~3,850,000
Tunisia 110,000 >6,589,652
France more than 2 million
Mauritania 2,883,000 (2,768,000 & 115,000)
Niger 1,620,000
Mali 850,000
Burkina Faso 50,000
Egypt 34,000 or 1,826,580
Canada25,885
Israel3,500
MOST NORTH AFRIKANS WE CALL ARABS ARE ACTUALLY BERBERS
The majority of North Afrika's population is believed to be Berber in origin, although due to Arabization most ethnic Berbers identify as Arabized Berbers.
AN "ARABIZED BERBER" IS A BERBER WHO SPEAKS ARABIC
"Arabized Berber" denotes an inhabitant of the Maghreb region in northwestern Afrika, whose native language is a local dialect of Arabic and whose origins are Berber.
