CNA or Channel North Africa, is an association that started in the year 2000 by the efforts of several partners who wished to broadcast the Gospel into North Africa using audiovisual materials. The vision of CNA is to see the peoples of North Africa reconciled with God, regenerated and transformed by the Gospel in the communities in which they live.
Kabylie covers several districts or wilayas of Algeria and is divided in two : Big Kabylie and Small Kabylie, equally referred to as Upper and Lower Kabylie. Although this name makes reference to a geographic division related to the elevation of the mountain range, it also corresponds to a linguistic distinction between the speakers of 2 principle dialects of the Kabyle language.
Bejaia, with its 230,000 inhabitants, is the economic center of Kabylie as well as the capital of Lower Kabylie. Locally it is referred to as « Bgayet n Lejdud » or 'ancestor's candle'. 
Tizi-Ouzou, the capital of Upper Kabylie, formerly known as 'the village' has around 150,000 inhabitants and serves as the cultural capital of Kabylie.
Three large mountain chains occupy a large portion of this region : the Kabylie Coastal chain in the north, the Djurdjura in the south, culminating with Mt. Tamgout Aalayen (2308m), and the Agawa chain, located between the other two with an average altitude of 800m and the densest population of the three chains. Tizi-Ouzou is found in the latter.
Larbaa Nath Irathen, formerly Fort National, with a population of 28,000 in 2001, is the urban center at the highest elevation of the region.
The population of Kabylie is estimated between 7 and 10 million people. The region is very densely populated and the population density often surpasses 250 inhabitants per km2. A significant number of Kabyles live outside of the region most notably Alger, where they make up more than half the population. Many Kabyles can be found living abroad as well (France, Europe as well as Canada).
Since independence in 1962 the region has been involved in several civil conflicts and uprisings. Notably in 1980 Kabylie experienced several months of protests and demonstrations in support of establishing the Berber language as an official language of the state. This cultural revival intensified as the government stepped up efforts to Arabize the nation in the 1990s. In June and July of 1998 the region was inflamed anew by the assassination of the singer Matoub Lounes and by the enforcement of a law giving preference to the use of the Arabic language in all domains. April 2001 witnessed a series of intense riots provoked by the death of a young man at the hand of a gendarme. These riots highlighted the growing divide between the government and the Berber peoples. This season of violence was called the Black Spring. A demand for autonomy that until then had been made only by certain intellectuals was now taken up by the Kabylie Movement for Autonomy (MAK) led by the singer Ferhat Mehenni. However thi s movement did not gain much momentum. Still others such as the Berber Arouch Citizen's Movement have raised the call for formal recognition of the cultural diversity that Algeria enjoys including recognition of the Berber identity.
The traditional economy of the region rests heavily on the cultivation of trees (orchards and olive groves), beekeeping and artisanal crafts (silversmiths, weavers and potters). Kabylie benefits significantly from the aid and support of the Kabyle diaspora. The region receives aid from outside sources for the development of infrastructure (roads, transportation, libraries) which often the national government of Algeria has abandoned. However, this accentuates the Kabyle villages' autonomy with successful management of this aid.
