Día del Amazigh

El pueblo amazigh (bereber) de Libia, concentrado en las montañas del Nafusa, la ciudad costera de Zuwarah y los oasis del desierto, celebra su identidad, su idioma (tamazight) y su patrimonio cultural. Se exhibe la bandera amazigh (franjas azules, verdes y amarillas con el símbolo Yaz), y la celebración incluye música tradicional, danza (el ahidus) y la preparación de platos amazighes como el aghrum (pan plano) y el bazin. Bajo Gadafi, la identidad amazigh fue suprimida y el idioma tamazight fue prohibido en la vida pública. Después de 2011, los amazighes revivieron su cultura con vigor, y el idioma ahora se enseña en las escuelas de las montañas del Nafusa.
