Kebdana

The Kebdana or Ichebdanen (Berber: ⵉⵛⴱⴷⴰⵏⴻⵏ) are a Riffian-Berber tribe of Zenata origin that lives in the eastern part of the Rif, in northeastern Morocco between Nador and Berkane. They lived primarily in the villages of Kebdana, an area in the Atlas region South of Arekmane. Due to migration, many Ichebdanen live now in the cities of the region and in Europe. The main cities of the Ichebdanen are Zaio, Arekmane and Ras Kebdana. In Nador, Berkane and Selouane live many Ichebdanen because of their jobs. In the Rif region are Ichebdanen famous for their use of the consonant „l“ in many words. For example: Temlalen (eggs)
