In Morocco, the nicknames "Moulay", "Sidi" and "Lalla" will soon be prohibited and Tifinagh will be introduced in the transcription of names. These are the novelties that a new draft law No. 36.21 relating to civil status will bring, proposing the implementation of a national electronic system. The text will be examined by the Commission on the Interior, Territorial Communities, Housing and Urban Policy at the House of Representatives.
The institutions and agencies of the "Bank Of Africa" of the BMCE Group, which belongs to the famous Moroccan businessman Othmane Benjelloun , adopt Amazigh language signage, in addition to Arabic and French. This initiative will be extended to all the group’s branches.
The dream of the Moroccan community in Spain to see the darija and tamazight languages taught in the enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla has evaporated. An amendment to the reform of the national education law aimed at their integration into educational programs was rejected by the Spanish Senate.
The World Amazigh Assembly in Morocco expressed, in a letter addressed to Abdellatif Hammouchi , Director General of National Security (DGSN), its surprise at "the total absence of the Amazigh language and its official character, Tifinagh", in the new model of the National Identity Card (CIN), which his institution is preparing to launch as early as 2020.
