Message de Mohamed V aux "nationalistes" arabes marocains:
A l'occasion de la fête
du Mouloud célébrée le 2 Août 1930,
S.M le Sultan Mohamed V a adressé à son peuple un message qui a été
lu dans toutes les mosquées lors du prêche de la prière
de l'après-midi. Dans ce message, faisant allusion aux incidents
provoqués par les dits "nationalistes" opposants au Dahir du 16 Mai 1930, sur le droit (Azerf)
coutumiers Amazigh.
"Nous avons nous-même décrété
de semblables mesures par Notre dahir chérifien. Cependant, des
jeunes gens, dénués de tout espèce de discernement,
ignorant toute la portée de leurs actes répréhensibles, se sont mis à faire croire que ces mesures que nous avons décrétées
n'ont pour but que
la christianisation des berbères. Ils ont ainsi induit
la foule en erreur ...

Tamazgha Toponame
Toponymie is a science which studies places names (toponymes). It seeks their meaning, their etymology, but also their transformation throughout the centuries. We deal here with the toponymie of Tamazgha (North Africa):
Toponame: Gourrama Signification: le saint. Explication: Agourram : le saint.
Anyone who wishes to include an article to help educate people about the Amazigh--the language, culture, the people's struggles for the right to self-identification in North Africa--is welcome and encouraged to send the document to info@amazighWorld.org (read more)
The Moroccan elections of 12 June 2009 The recent Moroccan elections of 2007 saw the highest rate of abstention in the Moroccan history, which reached 80% if one accounts the white votes. Several interpretations of this political rejection by Moroccans, was given by analysts. It goes from the multitude of political parties (more than 36 parties but of the same ideological color) to the wear of the former Arabo-Islamic speech and the later Islamist speech and their arrival at an impasse without issue. This probably prompted the Makhzen –according to some political analysts- to give a birth to new political party called PAM (Party for authenticity and modernity) -lead by a friend of the king, as a son-in-law of the former king has led previously the independent party- . This new party, has added a “new concept” –compare to the old parties- at the Moroccan political scene. He opposes the Islamists but never opposed to their doctrine, he opposed the Chiite doctrine but not to the Shiites, he chooses Amazigh word "Tamghribite" to express its tendency: "The Moroccan" a return to Moroccan values, but without never saying a return to no Arab values that his former counterpart had imposed to Morocco at the expense of Amazigh values. It's just a return to the Arab values -probably because it believes that morocco is overzealous in importing Arab values! And it's time now to moderate with a few Amazigh values! Position or completely as an alternative to Amazigh speech and give some breathe to worn arabo-islamiste speech without uproot it.

Morocco: Disappearing the Amazigh So it looks like the Moroccans are at it again. Instead of just letting people be who they are, the government is still going on about their naming laws. In other words, if you want to give your child an Amazigh (Berber) name, tough luck. Moroccan human rights groups recently proposed a list of Amazigh names be added to Morocco's approved list of names, however, the proposal was quickly struck down...

Morocco : it's too late .. Morocco has recently decided to sever ties with Iran, but what is the rationale of this surprising move? As we can read and listen it in mainstream media, this North African country is very worried about the spreading of Shiism, the Iranian way of practicing Islam, among its population. Do you really belief this account? Sceptical as always, I could not agree less. Why? For the Moroccan regime, as always, has totally missed the bus again.

The Makhzen will ban Morocco too! The Moroccan regime has decided that the banning of Amazigh first names inside the country is not sufficient enough. Two or three weeks before, it has sent to all his corrupt consulates all over the world a racist notice forbidding them definitely from then on. I know that is beyond comprehension, which is why we can not comprehend. But it's not the case of the young Amazigh immigrants, especially in France, Netherland, and Belgium. They were overwhelmingly surprised because they don't know very well the Makhzen and his fascistic meth... Full story Auteur: Lahsen Oulhadj Date : 2009-05-11 21:34:00
On April 9, Algerians go to the polls to elect a head of state. A constitutional amendment engineered by two-term President Abdulaziz Bouteflika in November 2008 allows the septuagenarian to vie for a third term. Running with no credible opponents -- and unopposed by the military and security services (DRS) -- there is little doubt he will be reelected. Although Bouteflika's ongoing tenure represents continuity in Algiers, it will not enhance the country's stability. Instead, for a largely disaffected burgeoning youth, the nature of this election will further erode confidence in an already shaky system, a development that could impact local U.S. business interests and strengthen al-Qaeda's presence in the Maghreb (northwest Africa). ...

The Washington Institute for Near Est Policy : The West Should Focus on North Africa For North Africa, 2009 is a year of elections. Regrettably, these elections -- this week's presidential elections in Algeria, Tunisia's presidential and legislative elections in October, and Morocco's local council elections in June -- attest not to the vibrancy of democracy in the region, but rather to its lingering authoritarianism. Although Washington has found solid counter terrorism partners in North Africa, a short-term focus on security is potentially harmful. These countries face myriad challenges which necessitate a broad, long-term focus on reform. Doing so will serve not only the people of North Africa, but also the strategic interests of the US and its allies. ...

Morocco : land of religious freedom Reported in the Moroccan newspaper Eshourouk according to some web sites that the young man, "Francis Avinclaist Avecenak Nin" Nigerian origin applied to the governor of the city of Sale (near Rabat) in order to establish a church in the district of Sidi Moussa to worship with his 20 others Christian Brothers, for a period of 2 hours each week (each Monday). But the city governor transferred the request to the Islamic Religious Council of the city, which in his turn made the request to the Chief of the Islamic religious Council of the Kingdom in Rabat, headed by Mohammed Yessef. After all these bureaucracy this last one rejected the request. He argued that this will disturb the Moroccan spiritual stability of s. But he even asked the security agencies to investigate and spy on those if they are Moroccan Muslims converted to Christianity? The question now is, "are the faith of Moroccans not establish on strong bases? And if it is so, don't they have the right to change their religion?
