Accordingly, the country’s organization of this year’s AFCON is a rare opportunity to examine how the intersection of Negritude and Amazighitude constructs a new sense of Africanhood forged through football, migration, and métissage. Unfortunately, Senghor had nothing to say about the Amazigh Cultural Movement (ACM) and how its advocacy related to Negritude. Amazighitude has since its inception catalyzed novel, albeit still untapped, thought-provoking ideas about space, language, citizenship, and Africanhood. Senghor is an important linchpin for the intersection of Negritude and Amazighitude in the AFCON. The AFCON will come to an end in a month, but the Amazigritude it highlights is crucial for the futurity of an all-accepting Morocco.
