The suppression of historical truths through the control of archival access has been a longstanding tactic employed by different regimes in the region of North Africa, particularly in Jamahiriya (former regime name for Libya), to manipulate public perception and maintain an illusion of national unity. This paper delves into the critical issue of archival withholding, a practice often veiled by claims of national security, which serves to stifle the public’s understanding of significant historical information and events allowing regimes to shape their own and reinforce narratives. This paper will explore the ramifications of such practices on cultural identity preservation, especially for Infusen communities whose heritage is intertwined with oral traditions and collective memories. The lack of access to these vital documents not only hampers historical inquiry but also risks the erosion of cultural heritage, as seen in the case of Tamazight-speaking communities in the Infusen region. The Italian colonial archives, with their extensive documentation of Tamazight dialects, tales, and glossaries from the Infusen Mountains, highlight the importance of archival materials in safeguarding indigenous languages and cultures. This paper explores how to regain control over historical narratives. By advocating for open access to archives and critical examination of existing records, we can challenge the narratives imposed by past regimes. This promotes transparency, fosters cultural preservation, and leads to a more complete and inclusive understanding of history.

The fall of Gaddafi’s regime in 2011 has had a significant impact on the development and implementation of different social and political reforms in Libya. During the 1969-2010 period, the Libyan regime, its political system and national policies had been set against the Amazigh, who were thus unable to develop their own social and political organizations. Since the regime change, Libyan society has been drawn into political struggle, but has also had the chance to reorganize itself. There is no doubt that Amazigh civil society has played an essential role, emerging as a cultural and political player during the revolution on the upper hills of the Infusen (Nefusa) mountain range in 2011. Moreover, the movement progressed during the post-revolutionary period as a cultural and political advocate seeking reconsideration and recognition within the country’s constitutional framework. This paper highlights recent developments in Libya, the crucial role of the Amazigh civil society during the period of the revolution and its essential movement towards the uprising that toppled Colonel Gaddafi. The paper seeks to present the methods used to mobilize people with highly ambitious goals of social and political transformation. It presents some of the aspects of how Amazigh civil society managed to benefit from the media as a tool of promotion, developing political entities and outreach at a global scale in order to influence society and public opinion, through methods including advocacy, campaigning, building partnerships and developing social and political projects.
