Happy Yennayer - The Amazigh New Year

Today is the Amazigh New Year - Happy Yennayer to our readers

Morocco does not list Yennayer as an official holiday - but Algeria does.

While the majority of Moroccans forget its existence, a section of the population including the Imazighens, is already active in the preparations for the celebration of this new year based on an agrarian calendar.
