Lunja and the ogress is an Amazigh folktale that tells the story of the journey of a young woman who was fostered by a Gula. With many variations across Morocco and the Maghreb reflects the transit from an ancient matriarchal culture to a newer, male-dominated one.
Morocco produces an average of 1,741 books annually, with Arabic being the dominant language. A recent report by the King Abdul-Aziz Al Saud Foundation for Islamic Studies and the Humanities reveals that the Amazigh language accounts for only about 1% of publications each year.
Unlike Islamists in the Kingdom, who have remained silent over the Turkish military intervention in Syria, several Moroccan Amazigh associations have showed support for the Kurdish population. They accuse Ankara of wanting to «exterminate» Kurds.
