STORYLINE:
The Amazigh, also known as Berbers, are celebrating their new year in North Africa.
In Morocco's capital, Rabat, people took to the street on Friday to mark the holiday, also known as Yennayer.
They wore traditional costumes and prepared Amazigh dishes as troupes performed, celebrating the 2973rd year of the Amazigh calendar.
Many demanded that the Moroccan government recognize the holiday as an official one just like in neighboring Algeria.
Marginalized in the past, the Amazigh, a word which means proud free people, are an important component of the Moroccan society.
Their language was recognized as an official language, alongside Arabic, in the 2011 constitution that Morocco's king granted in the wake of the Arab Spring.
