Add a brief title

Laâyoune - MPs from Morocco's southern provinces announced, Saturday in Laâyoune, the setting up of the "Saharan MPs Association" with the aim of defending the Kingdom's territorial integrity and national unity.

Mohamed Cheikh Biadillah, who was elected chairman of the Association said, in a statement to MAP, that this grouping will stand for the Kingdom's territorial integrity and national unity and support the Moroccan initiative to grant autonomy to its southern provinces.

The association, which brings together deputies and advisors of parties from across the political spectrum, seeks also to back economic and social development in the Kingdom's southern provinces, he added.

Biadillah, Speaker of the House of Advisors, said that the Association will give fresh impetus to parliamentary actions since it offers a propitious framework for coordination and consultations. 

This new grouping is also meant to promote coordination among MPs in order to better defend the rights of the population living in the southern provinces, including women and people with special needs.
