The Movement for the Autonomy of Kabylia (in French: Mouvement pour l'autonomie de la Kabylie (MAK)) is a non-violent autonomist group seeking self-government rule for the province of Kabylia within the State of Algeria. Led by folk singer Ferhat Mehenni, the MAK speaks for the Kabyle indigenous minority which identifies with the Berbers who first inhabited North Africa, and are now frustrated by the efforts of the government to assimilate the remaining minorities into the Arab majority. The immediate goal of the MAK is regional autonomy for the province of Kabylia, which according to Mehenni could be the "first step towards a federalist Algerian State".
