MOROCCO / MAROC


                                            
  Marocco, Arrestation in Agadir of 9 Amazighs militant students
                     Mr Lhou, militant du mouvement culturel Amazigh a l'université, arrété le 14 mars 2006 à  Agadir par le pouvoir marocain
    
 
  
   We, the militants of the Amazigh cause in Beni Mellal, bitterly denounce the arrestation of 9 students of the Amazigh Movement (Ayt Ghighush) in the university of Agadir, Morocco.The latters wanted to organise a cultural activity but they were insulted by the defenders of the "Arab Republic of the Sahara". Our militants defended themselves, however the Moroccan authorities arrested 9 of them and did nothing for the other part.
    This reflects again that  Imazighen are the first enemy of Moroccan regime. It is clear that the latter is encouraging this imaginary republic because they know that North Africa is Amazigh so they should create an arab entity on this amazigh land. Last month they banned the Amazigh name"AMAZIGH" in Goulmima and now they arrest our militants.
   We admit and declare to the national and the international opinion that we will go on struggling and fighting for our rights and for the independence of our lands.
 We require from the moroccan state
    - to free our militans without any condition.
   -to recognise Amazigh as official language
   -to abolish the law which bans Amazigh names
   -to insert Amazigh in every domain of the public life :education, health,justice ...
   -to integrate Imazighen socially  and economically
   We are ready to sacrifice our lives for our legal cause.
