“Magharebia: ‘What are the grounds for your long-standing clash with the Istiqlal party?’” Istiqlal is a party of foreigners who are hiding under the banner of nationalism and Arabisation in order to fool the Moroccans. It represents a specific community, entitled the “Fassia”, who were expelled from Andalusia during the Reconquista under the authority of one woman: Isabella the Catholic. She so resembled the courageous Berber Kahina, who fought the Arab invasion, in her own fighting and activities. The Fassia community forms its own state within the state of Morocco. It monopolises all domains—political, economic, social, cultural and so on. The head of the Istiqlal party is the current Prime Minister, Abbass El Fassi, and he has many members of the government who are his kin, for example: the ministers, prefects, governers, CEOs of public companies and army leaders. In short, the near entirety of the leaders of Morocco’s Makhzani comes from the El Fassi family. So long as the native Amazighs are excluded from all positions of leadership and are considered as nothing more than simple subjects of the King, who himself is exclusively surrounded by advisors and directors coming from El Fassi’s family, his cabinet will be fill to the point of bursting with the Fassia.

“A Letter to all the Moroccans, Amazigh, Jewish and Muslim” –May Praise be to God alone– Dear Moroccans- In this letter I invite you to be soldiers at the disposition of your country. Every Moroccan plays and important role in the development of his country. As you know, we have a young and dynamic king, who does his all for his country. This is a king who is putting Morocco on the right path to democracy, justice and human rights. Dear Moroccans, you are all involved in the development of your country, wherever you may be. I further invite you to encourage tourism and investors to come to Morocco, as we are a safe country. Dear Moroccans, defend Morocco wherever you may be. Be the voice of your country! Be proud of our king, Mohamed VI, our nation’s guide, just as you were proud of our holy king, Hassan II, the father of our nation! Dear Moroccans, defend our territorial integrity, because, as everybody knows, the Sahara was, is and always will be Moroccan. Morocco and Algeria will remain brotherly and neighbourly countries, and I am sure that one day soon all the Algerians will shout out simultaneously that the Sahara is Moroccan. Let us also defend the Arab Maghreb Union in a world where only unions have strength. In the end, trust in the royal decisions: they are not born out of arbitrariness, but come as a result of in-depth studies, often in consultation with the greatest specialists in all domains (social, political, economic and so on). And, this has but one aim, which is always on the mind of His Majesty, Mohamed VI: the happiness of the Moroccans and the interests of Morocco.

That these leaders are meeting to hold a discussion via a congress of the Berber language is totally out of place right now, a time when developed countries like France a preoccupied with a financial crisis that is affecting the world (including Morocco). Do you really think that what interests and preoccupies Moroccan households is the discussion of obsolete languages? And, why is this dangerous? We see several Moroccan Berbers who have left them self imprisoned by this language from the time they were children on through adulthood, without knowing a single Arab word!

Amazighs are marginalized, especially in the Sahraoui regions. Why is their dialect not used in the news on the TV and radio channels which are monopolized by the Hassani dialect in southern regions especially the Sahraoui authentic Amazigh tribes of Ait Baamrane? Even in matters of authority, they have little function.

No one ignores the events of the high school Kelaa Megouna. The director of the school (general Ouhadou) sacked 17 students as a result of the strike in which at least 700 students participated to call for the improvement of facilities and health services. Afterwards 17 students were sacked for personal problems. From this forum, I ask the minister of national education to interfere to grant justice to these students in their right to education. Thank you.

The Amazigh movement is not something just to simply liberate a marginalised language, but a movement to correct history and correct the Moroccan Amazigh identity and to liberate us from this dishonourable pursuit to which we adhere whilst being Moroccan or Arabised Amazighs. This is not the “opinion” of Islam, but the “opinion” of the Arabs or Arabised. To be more precise, we need to ask whether we are Arabs or Muslims. If we were to distribute all of the Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula throughout the so-called “Arab” North African countries, then the Arabian Peninsula would be empty. If we are Arabs, then what do we call the apache helicopters that come flying into Algeria— devils? Think about detaching yourselves from your old chains and old concepts.

Salam to everyone. My greetings to those who are liberated from narcissism in their articles. I say about the topic, as far as I know, that what peoples in the region need is to put hand in hand to make their peoples happy. This should be through democracy, freedom, giving peoples the right to speak. That would be better than giving it to western masters who gave freedom to their people and are watching the other from fear that they make progress. There is also the Amazigh issue. I think that it is no longer a serious problem after the establishment of the Royal Institute. This cannot be forgotten by Amazigh people. May God protect Mohamed VI. We shouldn’t forget the noise caused by some Arabised and not Arabs because the pure Arab has values. We must all work hard for the development of our culture Amazigh and Arab languages against the languages of the coloniser. Some of you might say what about sciences? Sciences sir emerge from the minds of human beings and not from the languages of others. When you use the language of others, you contribute to developing his culture and industry. You will remain dependent on him under many unconvincing pretexts. May God protect you. Your Soussi Moroccan brother.

I do not want to dwell too much on things that have already been said, but I would just like to say that, as a European (German) Muslim, I find it unfortunate that North Africa is being reduced to the contemptuous words "Arab Maghreb" . It has given so much to Mediterranean culture with the 22nd and 23rd Pharaonic dynasties and the Muslim civilisation following the example of the Persians. What we call "Arab" has not given anything to Islam. In order to better understand, it would be better to read the history of Andalusia and the reasons for its fall. It is more beautiful to say "North Africa". Moreover, Islam strictly prohibits coercion in matters of religion. Fortunately, I did not know the Arabs before Islam, because what the Arabs do in the hotels in Cannes, Marbella and elsewhere is tragic and is soiling Islam in the same way they tarnished it before.

Morocco is an African country. The Berbers were the first to colonise Morocco, before the Romans and the Arabs. The Berbers need to tell us of their crimes against the original peoples.
