A man waves the Amazigh flag as thousands of mourners attend the funeral procession and burial of Hocine Ait-Ahmed, one of the fathers of Algeria's struggle for independence and a key opposition figure, in the Algerian village of Ait Ahmed on January 1, 2016. Ait-Ahmed's remains arrived in Algiers from Switzerland, where he died at the age of 89, for a state funeral the previous day before being transferred to his home village for his burial. The Amazighs, or Berbers, are the ethnicity indigenous to North Africa west of the Nile Valley.
