Berber Amazigh Flag Face

The Amazigh flag (Berber: ⴰⵛⵏⵢⴰⵍ ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ Acenyal Amaziɣ) is a flag that has been proposed for the Amazigh people. It is currently widely used by most Amazigh activists in 10 African countries as its creation took place in Ouadhia, a town of Kabylia situated in Tizi Ouzou, a wilaya of Algeria, by an elder Algerian kabylian mujahid named Mohand Arav Bessaoud, and this last was considered as the spiritual father of Berberism and was also a writer and an activist of the Algerian Revolution.

In the 1970s the Berber Academy (Agraw Imazighen) proposed the first Amazigh flag. In 1998 the World Amazigh Congress made the flag official at Tafira on Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, which were formerly inhabited by the Guanches, an ancient Amazigh people.
The flag is composed of blue, green, and yellow horizontal bands of the same height, and a Tifinagh letter yaz or aza.

The flag has three horizontal stripes of equal width (blue, green, and yellow), and red the letter Z in Tifinagh.
Each color refers to an element of Tamazgha, territory inhabited by Berbers (corresponding to the north of Africa):
blue represents the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean;
green represents the plains and the green mountains;
yellow represents the Sahara desert.
