Rabat is set to host the 11th congress of the Amazigh World Assembly on November 6 and 7, 2026, in a gathering organizers are framing around the future of collective Amazigh action across North Africa and the diaspora.
According to reports in Le Monde Amazigh, the meeting will be held at the Lawyers Club in Rabat’s Ocean district, in cooperation with Germany’s Friedrich Naumann Foundation and Le Monde Amazigh. The announced theme asks what roles Amazigh peoples and communities should play in building a broader “Tamazgha Union,” a concept that places cultural, linguistic, civic and political coordination at the center of the discussion.
The agenda, as described by the Amazigh outlet, points to a congress that is not limited to symbolism. It comes at a moment when Amazigh organizations continue to press governments on language rights, education, public services and constitutional implementation, while diaspora networks increasingly connect debates in Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, the Sahel and Europe.
Holding the congress in Rabat is itself notable. Morocco recognizes Amazigh as an official language, but activists regularly argue that implementation remains uneven in schools, courts, administrations, media and public signage. A congress centered on “Tamazgha” therefore gives participants a platform to discuss both national policy gaps and regional forms of solidarity.
The November meeting is expected to bring together Amazigh civil society actors, intellectuals and community representatives. The available announcements do not yet provide a full speaker list, but they present the congress as an international rendezvous for reassessing shared priorities and the practical meaning of Amazigh cooperation across borders.
For Amazigh observers, the central question will be whether the Rabat congress produces concrete proposals that can travel beyond the meeting hall: coordinated advocacy on language rights, cultural preservation, indigenous rights frameworks, or stronger links between associations in Tamazgha and the diaspora.
