Viral Photo of Kissing Couple in Traditional Amazigh Attire Sparks Debate in Morocco

For some internet users, this gesture is perceived as an offense to Berber values and customs. The kiss, associated with the wearing of traditional clothing, is seen as an attack on culture and its image. Voices are rising to denounce an act likely to distort and tarnish the reputation of the Amazigh heritage.

On the other hand, others consider the kiss as a simple expression of love and respect, devoid of any negative connotation, arguing for an open and evolving Amazigh culture, capable of adapting to the changes in society.
