almotamar.net - The national campaign against polio begins Saturday. The campaign is launched by the Yemeni Ministry of Public Health and Population on 15-17 this month in cooperation with the World Health Organisation and targets 4 million children all over Yemen.
In a statement to almotamar.net Health Undersecretary for health care said carrying out the campaign comes in the wake of spread of polio virus in a number of countries, among them Nigeria, India, Chad, Somalia, and Sudan and he ganger that may come from neighbourly countries, taking into consideration that migration and asylum are still going on across Yemeni borders from those countries infected with this dangerous virus.
In 2007 the opposition Yemen Congregation for Reform (Islah) Islamic oriented Party maintained its having political and media sway over the Joint meeting Parties (JMP) block, also consisting of Yemen Socialist Party and the Nasserite Unionist Organisation.
Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria.
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
