Igawawen or Gawawa, mostly known as Zwawa (in Kabyle: Igawawen, in Arabic: زواوة, and in Latin: Jubaleni[1]) were a group of Kabyle[2] tribes inhabiting the Djurdjura mountains, Greater Kabylia, in Algeria. The Zouaoua are a branch of the Kutama tribe of the Baranis Berbers.[3]
In the most restricted sense, the Igawawen were a confederation (kabyle: taqbilt, derived from arabic "قبيلة" meaning tribe) of 8 tribes split into two groups:
Ait Betrun: Ait Yenni, At Wasif, Ait Budrar, Ait Bu Akkash.
Ait Mengellet: Ait Mengellet proper, Ait Aqbil, Ait Attaf, Ait Bu Yusef.
