Rabat, Morocco

Five Moroccan left-wing parties have set up a new grouping called the Rally of the Democratic Left (RGD), the main aim of which is to lay the groundwork for a fully-fledged political party, the group said on Wednesday.

"The objective is to rally leftist movements around a common programme," said Mustapha Miftah, a representative of the fledgling RGD, which was formed at a meeting on Sunday.

"We are avoiding setting up a united party for the moment, and there is mobilisation for concerted work that avoids useless ideological wars," he said.

1. It's about time

that resistance to the autocracies of the Arab world took the form of movements based on social justice rather than intolerant theocracy. I wish them the best.
