Ferhat Mehenni, leader of the MAK / DR ‹ › The prefecture of Yvelines has banned the official ceremony for the declaration of independence of Kabylia, which was initially scheduled for Sunday, December 14, at the Palais des Congrès in Versailles, France. According to the prefectural decree, the event was expected to gather more than 900 participants, including several French parliamentarians as well as Moroccan, Israeli, and Canadian officials. These details should be approached with caution, said a figure from the Moroccan Amazigh movement, speaking anonymously, noting that «the decree merely echoed the organizers' communication, the MAK». Ounghir Aboubaker, national coordinator of the Amazigh League for Human Rights, explained to Yabiladi that «the Moroccan Amazigh movement politely declined an invitation from the Movement for the Self-determination of Kabylia to participate in organizing the ceremony for the proclamation of Kabylia's independence on December 14». «The political context has changed since the adoption, on October 31, by the UN Security Council, of resolution 2797 concerning the Sahara issue. The Amazigh movement can only support Morocco's higher interests. It is inconsistent to support separatism in Algeria while denouncing that of the Polisario. However, Moroccan Amazighs support the cultural claims of the Kabyles.» Ounghir Aboubaker On April 20, 2024, Agadir witnessed the creation of the «Action Group to Support the Kabyle People», on the same day as the proclamation of Kabylia's self-determination by the MAK president, Ferhat Mehenni, from New York, announcing the «rebirth of the State of Kabylia». One of the organizers of this «group» assured Yabiladi that no action has been planned to accompany the proclamation of Kabylia's independence.
