Скачать или смотреть Libya’s Amazigh heritage survives despite years of suppression

Nalut Castle is an 800-year-old Amazigh fortress in Libya's Nafusa Mountains, historically used to store food and offer protection. Today, the site suffers from severe neglect, lacking state support for proper maintenance. For decades under Gaddafi, the Amazigh people faced oppression, including a ban on their language and culture. Although there is now a renewed pride in their heritage since the 2011 revolution, their crucial historical sites remain overlooked compared to Libya's more famous Roman and Greek ruins. The community hopes these places can be preserved as a testament to their enduring legacy.

Al Jazeera’s Malik Traina reports from Nalut, in the Nafusa Mountains.
