  • Berber Exploitation (1997): A look at how the culture of the Berbers has been exploited and suffocated.
    Subscribe to Journeyman here: www.youtube.com...
    For centuries the Berbers of Morocco have been persecuted by their Arab masters. Today even their festivals have been hijacked. Miriam is fighting to keep her language and culture, whilst fellow militant Zaid claims the Arabs have 'stolen our history.' Etched out of a beautiful, yet inhospitable and rugged land, stands Imichil, where the annual marriage market or Moussem des Fiances takes Place. It's here that the Arab government has turned an exclusive Berber celebration into a tourist fest. Shy young brides wander around the market in traditional veils as streetwise city slickers sell trinkets and souvenirs to dollar laden foreigners. The Arabs have encouraged the press to come and soak up the traditional atmosphere It's turned into objects of curiosity in the process. Hussein and his wife to be, were forced to attend the festival in order to obtain a marriage certificate. Fascinating look at a culture being silenced and yet exploited for its rich and colourful traditions.

      Prakash Gautam ive been living in Morocco - i first went there with friends who are Arabs lviing in and grown up in cities. then for 10 years ive been living with Berber families in a number of areas. The Berbers dont need to learn anything from the Turks and dont need to learn any of your aggression nor aggressive ideas - there has been much growth and change with Berber languages now becoming used and accepted in more official capacities. The Berber women i know all speak Berber and many have never learned Arabic nor French. Noone has made them not speak in Berber. All the males im with speak Berber and many im with speak at least 3 Berber languages. We are free to travel and associate with who and where we like. So the restrictions that are being said are BS.. Those who say the BErber and their culture are being treated atrociously are listening to history of what happened in the past. Just like saying Colonel Custer is still out shooting Chief Sitting Bull and all the indians...Yes the Arab population tend to be wealther and have more freedom to have passports and live between other countries but much of that is because they were lucky in the early days of Moroccans working and living in France etc. Yes there is stil manyof Arab descent who dont travel much and dont have much to do with Berber culture but it still doesnt mean that the Berber are being killed or held back!!!

      As Amazigh i have to recognize that the only people our people benefited from are the muslims (arabs and ottomans) they themselves gave up certain of their evil customs for Islam, Islam is more important, the golden age of amazigh people was with islam we ruled over spain and part of France for centuries, but when christianism and peganism was brought to us we were at the darkest of time. There have been some fights between us and them initiated by us, but it was only involving fighting men on a battlefield following rules and regulations, they didn't enslave us like the christians and pegans did. Islam isn't the religion of arabs but of all mankind. And Allah made us tribes and nations so that we may get to know each others and not to seek supremacy over each other like the bible argue. This documentary isn't reliable it's over exagerating a lot, the first scene was reflecting not slavery under "the arabs" because there were none but under the christians, let's not forget that many people from morocco because they were too dark skinned were taken in america as literally slaves by the christians. There are only a few portion of amazigh without any cause or justification who hate arabs for some weird reason, i just think they are online trolls, and most of these online trolls are christians trying to add oil to the (non existent) fire. There is no hatred in islam we are all brothers. Without Al Islam we are nothing, stop seeking supremacy over each other preach Al Islam Al deen al Hak. I don't care even if i'm arab or amazigh i'm muslim all praise to the most high stop that nonsense nationalism that your enslavers the europeans has brought to you to literally kill you rape you colonize you and enslave you like the whole of Africa.

Many Moroccans understand why they love their King and are grateful for having him. and to say the Berber are oppressed now is a lie. change has been slow but there has been change and improvements so to look only at the hardships the Berber suffered prior to the present King is unfair and ignorant and dangerous for the potential outcome if to depose him and allow the fundamentalists he keeps from taking over the government.

I dont turn the tv on and see documentaries filling the tv space about NZ Maoris, does that mean they are always ignored? people make such blanket broad statements without being very informed.

      A minority? Hahahahahahaha there are much more berbers in the south then in the north. And the southern Berber are the pure berbers. They rarely mixed with other populations.
      the dna tests showed us already that the purest berbers are the Sousi’s. They score 100% North Africa what is rare, there is no other group that scores 100%. Riffis score 75-80% mixed with romans and iberians. Even me as an Arabized Moroccan scored more then the most rifis with 82%.you should study the history my friend, the north is strongly influenced by other populations in the past. Nobody could enter the big mountains in the south, so they are still pure.

      As Amazigh i have to recognize that the only people our people benefited from are the muslims (arabs and ottomans) they themselves gave up certain of their evil customs for Islam, Islam is more important, the golden age of amazigh people was with islam we ruled over spain and part of France for centuries, but when christianism and peganism was brought to us we were at the darkest of time. There have been some fights between us and them initiated by us, but it was only involving fighting men on a battlefield following rules and regulations, they didn't enslave us like the christians and pegans did. Islam isn't the religion of arabs but of all mankind. And Allah made us tribes and nations so that we may get to know each others and not to seek supremacy over each other like the bible argue. This documentary isn't reliable it's over exagerating a lot, the first scene was reflecting not slavery under "the arabs" because there were none but under the christians, let's not forget that many people from morocco because they were too dark skinned were taken in america as literally slaves by the christians. There are only a few portion of amazigh without any cause or justification who hate arabs for some weird reason, i just think they are online trolls, and most of these online trolls are christians trying to add oil to the (non existent) fire. There is no hatred in islam we are all brothers. Without Al Islam we are nothing, stop seeking supremacy over each other preach Al Islam Al deen al Hak. I don't care even if i'm arab or amazigh i'm muslim all praise to the most high stop that nonsense nationalism that your enslavers the europeans has brought to you to literally kill you rape you colonize you and enslave you like the whole of Africa.

Jews in Israel some of whom oppress arabs and yet arabs oppress amazigh (true name for berbers) also there are tribes in sub saharan africa that oppress each other ie coastal tribes fulani vs. interior tribes.

    Lakenya nice try, South, East and West Africans have never been Imazighen "Berbers" they don't speak the language and they don't even call themselves Imazighen!
    Even worse Imazighen (berbers) have their dna which is the E1b1b (Y dna) there are no black Africans that carry such dna other than the brown, yellow and white Berbers of North Africa, the only ones outside of North Africa that carry such dna are the Somalians and they only carry about 40% which simply means that it's not their dna, it's North African dna!
    There has also been a skeleton found a while back in current Lybia which was dated 30 to 40.000 years old and his dna was E1b1b (Berber dna).
    Next time you say something stupid, let us reply back to you! Instead of closing the comment!!

      Lakenya Monfort​​​ North Africa is Berber territory, the Berbers which are brown, yellow and white are the only ones on Earth with the E1b1b Y-dna and they all live in North Africa, they are indigenous to North Africa.
      There was even a skeleton found in current day Libya that carried that dna which was dated 30 to 40.000years old!
      The only ones outside of North Africa that have that dna in very small amounts are the Somalians!
      It's 100% North African dna otherwise East, West and South Africans would have had larger amounts than the North Africans!
      By the way, Ramses the great was also proven to have had the Berber dna.
      Middle Eastern people have never been black, Israelites came from the Middle East traveled to North Africa and beyond through Egypt, so they weren't black either.
      Imhoteb lived at the time of Joseph and Jacob aka Israel, Joseph worked with Imhoteb Egyptians are as Egyptian now as they used to be back then, the evidence is everywhere.
      Unless you are emotionally blinded and your eyes are filled with bullshit.
      Worst of all, the man that came claiming that Israelites and Egyptians were black, was a white man with an agenda and his bullshit was direct especially towards American niggas.
      Once a slave, always a slave.

They have began giving some rights to Amazigh to learn their language at school but still have to do so much more to them, and it is necessary to demand their rights back after they have been stripped away by oppressive Arab colonists and settlers, who by the way call themselves "Muslims"!

    This video does not really tell the real truth. The people that are being interviewed lied at many occasions. The person that made this video is clearly not a good video maker. His french was very bad and his communication skills seemed to be limited.
    You cannot expose something that is considered as a problem and only speak to one side. You should know, better than I do, that as a journalist or a video maker, you are not supposed to take sides nor influence the answers of the people you are interviewing.
    With all the respect I owe Miriam, I think that she should be ashamed of herself for making Arabs look so bad. You cannot fight bad with worse. Unless of course your goal is not to expose a problem but to show off on camera for exposure.

    The Moroccan Arabs are NOTHING like other Arabs. Go or read about other Arab nations and you will know what I am talking about. Having said that, the truth is that Morocco is made up of 60% Amazighs and the Amazighs ARE the original natives of Morocco. They have forcibly been occupied by the invading Arabs, they live with that fact, they have even become good Mulims, but they are not ready to disappear. I guess it is normal that they demand a recognition of who and what they are? Why should that be a problem? That does not necessarily mean they want to separate from Morocco. After all, THEY are the original people. Where would they want to go? The Jews, who were in Morocco even before it was given the name, and were autochthones with the Amazighs, were never asked by the Amazighs to forget their Jewishness. I daresay that the Jews left Morocco but not because of the Imazighen. It is a historical fact that the Imazighen accepted Jews as equals. And THAT is something NO other nation has done. THAT makes them an extremely special people. To my mind, Moroccan Arabs and Imazighens should equally share beautiful Morocco. Azul, brothers.

And there are quite a lot of Native Americans that are proud, kid.

      Calling it the way it is is not trivialization.
      I never said Filipinos are Native Americans. I said they're self-hating, and post-colonial.
      Filipino men/women have "strong" unions because there's no non-Filipino men/women in the Philippines.
      If you look at Filipinos in the USA, they outmarry constantly, because they hate themselves.
      *I never said that outmarrying is self hate. I said self-hate drives outmarrying, which is logical, since outmarrying destroys the nations.*
      If you are taught that you are ugly/inferior, and everything about your race is ugly/inferior, wouldn't it be beneficial to marry outside your race? Yes. It would.
      You're losing this argument, so you resort to calling people "kid." Hilarious.
      Hispanics are self-hating as fuck. White is right in Hispanic culture. We know it now, and we've known it forever.
      Hispanics outmarry constantly since nationalism amongst them is increasingly weak.
      If every Hispanic outmarries in America, you end up with the USA becoming something like 1/10th Hispanic.
      When you take into account that Hispanics are already part white, and Europeanized as a whole, natives are destroyed regardless.
      There's too many blacks in the world, too many whites in the world, and too many Asians in the world for American natives to survive with outmarrying being an acceptable practice.
      The fate of Berbers will be the same, since there's too many Arabs, Europeans, and Africans for them to survive while outmarrying.

      @@axaeyexus We classify Palestinians as “Arabs” today; the reality is that they are just an Arabized Levantine population. “Arab” is a cultural and linguistic term which applies to many different ethnic groups of which Palestinians are a part of. Many studies have consistently concluded that Palestinians are native to the land and are the direct descendants of the ancient Levantine populations that inhabited it. The reason that Palestinians are majority Muslim is simply a result of the 7th century Islamic expansion into the levant; many of the Christians and Jews living there converted to Islam. There is no evidence of a massive Arab migration from peninsula or Jordan to Palestine like you’re suggesting. I don’t deny that Jews are native to the land, but Palestinians are simply the native Levantine inhabitants that never left. They were originally the same group of people. The Zionists (Ashkenazi Jews) mass migrated back to Palestine and eventually ethnically cleansed and forcefully dispossessed the local population of their land to create their Jewish ethnostate. That is the genesis of Israel. Lastly, you have every right to disagree with me, but there’s no need to be condescending or tell me to “sit down.”

      The ones that have caused this are the last rulers of Morocco which came to power by claiming that they were descendants of the Prophet, Arabized Berbers are the ones that fell for that bullshit real Berbers have been fighting in their defense ever since.

    This documentary shows little about repression or oppression of Amazigh people besides not having their language or history recognized. The isolation and marginalization mentioned seems more like its due to social and geographic factors, that rural areas lag behind in general due to corruption, underdevelopment, lack of good governance. To me "persecution" means being segregated, not being able to participate in political process, being excluded from the economy, being repressed with the police.
    To be clear Morocco and Algeria do need to develop the Amazighi languages and integrate the identity as part of the nation. But as far as I know the case of the Amazigh is not really like that of the Indians of America or Black people in Apartheid South Africa even though it seems to be portrayed as such in contemporary media. Maybe more like the Catalans or Basques of Spain who were not allowed their own identity but were not excluded from society per say.
