A heritage of encounters
The preamble links Arab-Islamic, Amazigh and Saharo-Hassani components with African, Andalusian, Hebrew and Mediterranean influences. It also affirms openness, moderation, tolerance and dialogue.
Languages to pass on
Article 5 recognises Arabic and Amazigh as official languages. It also provides for preserving Hassani and protecting the country’s cultural expressions.
