In a statement to MAP, Baraka noted that the Royal Pardon paves the way for the integration of the Rif region's cultivators into the process of comprehensive development.

This High Royal initiative carries profound humanism and reflects the great humanistic spirit of His Majesty the King, he said, adding that this magnanimous gesture also reflects the High benevolence with which the Sovereign surrounds Moroccan citizens in all circumstances.

The president of the Beni Znassen Association further noted that this noble Royal initiative embodies the Sovereign's firm determination to establish social justice and preserve the human dignity of all citizens, especially the most vulnerable groups.

He also noted that various associative actors welcome this humanistic Royal initiative, which marks an important turning point for the region's cultivators to join a development that takes into account the specificities of each region and guarantees territorial and social justice.

It is also a major historical turning point for the entire region, laying the foundations for effective participation in socio-economic development that can contribute to improving the living conditions of the populations in the concerned regions and strengthen the spirit of belonging and authentic citizenship, he said.
