The Libyan Amazigh Supreme Council (LASC) shouldered the Audit Bureau in Tripoli the responsibility of the division and loss of national unity that could result from rejecting the proposal of the Deputy Minister of the Education Ministry in the Salvation Government for contracting 371 teachers to teach Amazigh language in the districts where it is spoken.

The rejection, which came from the Audit Bureau’s deputy, Aladdin Al-Masallati, was considered by the LASC a violation of law number 18 of 2013 that was issued by the General National Congress about teaching Amazigh language where it is spoken across Libya.

The LASC also regarded this behavior by the Audit Bureau as an inclination to division and systematic racial segregation, calling on the Audit Bureau to immediately provide a clarification for the reasons that it based its decision on.

On the other hand, the Audit Bureau linked, in a letter to the Deputy Minister of Education in the SG, its rejection to the fact that the Libyan constitution has not recognized the Amazigh language so far and that there are no laws related to such an issue as well as that there is no one sole government in Libya that can guarantee this language adoption strategy will work according to the needed regulations.
