ABSTRACT

The Berbers are the indigenous people of Morocco. Since the 20th century, the Berbers have fought for ethnic rights through a series of democratic movements. They have gone through three stages of passively accepting government policies, fighting for cultural and educational rights, and further fighting for political rights. However, in the process of fighting for political rights, the Berbers face three dilemmas. First, there is a lack of mature political parties representing the Berbers at the bottom. Second, it is difficult to protect national and linguistic rights. Third, the threat of cross-border Berberism. This article attempts to explore the challenges of the Moroccan Berbers’ struggle for political rights from the above three aspects.
