The National Committee of "Tafsut n Imaziɣen - Mohammed Chafik Session" has publicly criticized the current state of the Amazigh movement in Morocco, characterizing it as "worrisome and deplorable." In their statement, the committee attributed this troubling situation to the ongoing manifestations of marginalization and systematic exclusion, the regression of all constitutionally declared gains and rights, and the lack of genuine political will to advance these issues. This declaration highlights the need for various active Amazigh forces to unify their struggles and stand together in the face of the challenges that persist both nationally and internationally.
In this context, the same source emphasized that "Tafsut n Imaziɣen is not merely a historical commemoration; it has always been and remains a continued struggle based on collective action and cooperation among Amazigh people, viewed as the strategic choice capable of strengthening the Amazigh front and enhancing its presence in various arenas advocating for linguistic, cultural, and political rights." The committee's statement recalls Tafsut n Imaziɣen as a renewed symbol of struggle in the Amazigh movement. It also honors the immense sacrifices made by activists in Kabylie in their fight against oppression and for the right to existence, language, identity, and land, asserting that this historic moment taught a significant lesson in resilience and solidified the belief that the path to freedom and emancipation lies in collective struggle, unity, and sacrifice.
Moreover, in light of this historical responsibility, the National Committee of Tafsut (Rabat) initiated communication with the organizing committee of Tafsut Marrakesh via the established organizational channels, aiming to open a serious discussion and dialogue about methods to unify Tafsut n Imaziɣen for the year 2026, in line with the spirit and history of Tafsut grounded in collective action and collaboration. However, it is regrettable that the organizing committee of Tafsut Marrakesh chose not to respond to this invitation.
The National Committee of "Tafsut n Imaziɣen - Mohammed Chafik Session" posited that while a multitude of activist initiatives is a legitimate right in itself, fostering division at a unifying symbolic event like Tafsut n Imaziɣen undermines the collective spirit on which the Amazigh movement has been established for decades. The committee stressed that the current stage necessitates the unification of Amazigh efforts to confront the various challenges facing the Amazigh cause, calling upon all Amazigh individuals, regardless of their organizations and cultural, rights, or activist frameworks, to align their efforts and prioritize dialogue, unity, and historical responsibility. The goal is to ensure that Tafsut n Imaziɣen becomes a unified activist platform that reflects the aspirations of the Amazigh people for freedom, dignity, and linguistic and cultural justice.
In conclusion, the statement highlighted that the Amazigh cause transcends narrow interests and is stronger than any attempts at fragmentation and division. It remains contingent upon the Amazigh people's ability to unite, organize, and continue their struggle.
