Mr. Akhannouch explained in a statement to the press on the sidelines of his participation in the celebration of the new Amazigh New Year 2975, that several projects aimed at integrating the Amazigh language have been completed in this context, especially at the level of public administrations and the educational system.
In this context, he expressed his deep gratitude to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, who approved the constitutional consecration of Amazigh, as well as making January 14, corresponding to the first day of the Amazigh year, an official holiday in Morocco, adding that the celebration of the Amazigh New Year constitutes an opportunity to highlight a cultural heritage carried by all Moroccans.
During this ceremony, which took place in the presence of the Secretary of State to the Minister of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy, in charge of Handicrafts and Social and Solidarity Economy, Lahcen Saadi, the Wali of the Souss-Massa region, Governor of the Agadir-Ida Outanane prefecture, Said Amzazi, and the President of the Souss-Massa Regional Council, Karim Achengli, Mr. Akhannouch visited Ibn Zaidoun Park, where he viewed an exhibition of craft cooperatives and local products that highlights the creations of traditional craftsmen.
On the other hand, a space for tasting the most delicious Amazigh dishes was organized at the Agadir Oufella Kasbah site, in addition to presenting a group of musical performances performed by some stars of Amazigh song.
The Agadir commune has prepared, until January 17, an "Iyd n Yennayer" celebration with a rich program, in celebration of the new Amazigh year 2975.
This celebration, organized in partnership with the Souss-Massa Regional Council, the Souss-Massa Regional Tourism Council, and the Timitar Festival Association, comes in line with the Royal Decree announced by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to make January 14, the beginning of the Amazigh year, an official holiday in the Kingdom of Morocco, which strengthens the recognition of Amazigh culture as a fundamental component of Moroccan identity.
This year's edition of the "Iyd n Yennayer" celebration is distinguished by a rich and diverse program, covering 12 locations within the city, including squares, parks, and the Agadir "Corniche", which gives the residents of Agadir and its visitors an exceptional opportunity to enjoy various activities and events in a festive atmosphere.
