You are right Riffains don't even know that jebala/ghomara are berbers(ethnically) they think they're as arabs as those of Arabia and they don't know there are berbers in Algeria/Tunisia and Libya and Riffains would rarelly use "amazigh" to group themselves with other berbers,many Riffains think that "Riffain" is a race and that they and soussis are of different races

also many Algerian "arabs" I've met here in Spain(illegal immigrants) didn't know what "Kabylies" are

Yes, indeed many moroccans don't even know of the existence of other berbers in other North-African countries. I must say though, most of my relatives are pretty familiar with kabyles. Kabyles are more well-known b/c of their culture, and being more in the media the past few years(think of their protests and music

).
