“Culture is not just a legacy inherited, it is also a vision that is accepted.”
- Mouloud Mammeri (Kabyle writer, anthropologist and linguist).
The meaning behind the colors are as follows:
Blue (amidad) represents the Mediterranean Sea, whose shores have been occupied by the Imazighen (plural form of “Amazigh” referring to the Berber people) for millenaries.
Green (azegzaw) represents the green land of North Africa, which has been cultivated by the Imazighen since the Prehistoric times.
Yellow (awragh) represents the Desert, primarily. However, we also like to describe it as the color of joy and gold.
Finally, the ⵣ (ezza) letter is situated at the center of the word Amazigh. The latter means "free man". WE ARE THE FREE PEOPLE.
