Kamira Nait Sid, president of the Amazigh World Congress Following its normal congress held from July 24 to 26, 2015 in Agadir, the worldwide meeting of World Amazigh Congress (CMA) stated: VII ° the overall congress of the CMA was once a particular second of gathering of Amazigh combating for his or her correct to their language and tradition, their land, their territories, resources, freedom, justice, dignity and peace. Imazighen have an update on the various types of denial, theft, pressured assimilation, violence and oppression they experience in the quite a lot of countries of Tamazgha (North Africa and the Sahara). In Algeria, the persons Mzab suffered prior this July, another deadly assault from pan-Arab Muslim-corporations with the aid of the Algerian police. As if that were not adequate, thirty Mozabites have been arbitrarily arrested and mistreated. In Kabylia, the defenders of the Amazigh motive and activists for the correct to self-resolution of Kabylia are subject to police harassment and ongoing court cases. The educating of the Amazigh language is in decline even though this language is recognized as a national language for 15 years. Morocco has also recognized the Amazigh language, granting it the status of professional language in 2011. But we see that this realization is purely formal. Actually, nothing has come realize the formalization of the Amazigh language. As a result, no longer simplest the Amazigh no progress but as an alternative, it fell together with and exceptionally within the area of schooling where the sick will of the state is denounced by means of teachers and mothers and fathers students. The repressive reflex also remains present and makes victims mainly within the ranks of activists defenders of political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Amazigh.

The brand new constitution of the country adopted in 2014, thoroughly obscures the Amazigh history and truth of this country and the authentic speeches quite simply deny the existence of Tunisian Amazigh residents. In Libya, the North and South are facing a Imazighen chaotic predicament, the result of civil war between quite a lot of armed Islamic-pan-Arab businesses for manage of vigor and oil resources.

On the borders of eastern Tamazgha is the Amazigh group of the Siwa oasis in the middle of Libyan desert. Lengthy included through its geographic isolation, cultural and linguistic particularism siwi defenseless, is disappearing at the hands of Arab-Islamization. The Canary Islands within the west, invaded by way of the Spanish conquistadors in the fifteenth century, today Africa’s final European colony. Additionally to the looting of the Canary assets via Spain, the Canary Islands territory is utilized by NATO forces as a watchtower and as a navy base whose battle machines are competent to intervene at any place in Africa.
