Berberism


Berberism or Amazighism is the Berber political-cultural movement of ethnic, geographic, or cultural nationalism, started mainly in Kabylia Algeria & in Morocco, later spreading to a rest of the Berber communities in the Maghreb region of North Africa. A Berber group, the Tuaregs, have been in rebellion against Mali since 2012, as well as established a temporarily de facto self-employed grown-up state called Azawad, which indicated itself as Berber.

The Berberist movement in Algeria and Morocco is in opposition to cultural Arabization and the pan-Arabist political ideology. In Azawad northern Mali, the Tuareg-Berberist movement is also secularist and is in opposition to both Arabism and perceived discrimination against nomadic Tuaregs by other Malian groups and the government.
