Jamil Jaadabi Almotamar.net - Opposition political parties and organisations in Yemen on Tuesday strongly assailed the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP), a bloc of three opposition parties, accusing them of pursuing a haughty policy dismissing their counterpart opposition political p[arties present on the arena. The pointed out that the media campaign launched by the JMP against them and belittling the size of their entities after the achievement of positive results with the General People's Congress (GPC) ruling party expresses the JMP disrespect of partisan relations existing in the pluralist system.
In statements to almotamr.net leaders of a number of the opposition parties in Yemen were unanimous that the volume of the party should depend on its capability of offering thought and vision good for the homeland, and that is what the JMP did not comprehend. The parties of the JMP have adopted narrow interests in their dialogue with the GPC.
Those leaders asserted their determination to go ahead in dialogue with the GPC to discuss the constitutional amendments and that they have presented many visions on the amendments, pointing out they have discussed with transparency all the visions presented by political parties and organisations at the dialogue meetings.
Indicators of success of the dialogue between the GPC and more than 12 opposition political parties and organizations in their meetings in this month have aroused anger of the JMP bloc that responded in their media instruments with a campaign of ridiculing the sessions of dialogue with parties the JMP deem them as small and not parties and that they are close to the GPC.
Discussions were resumed Monday between the political parties and the GPC and all agreed to discuss the amendments of the election law and the amendments proposed on the law of political parties and organisations. The meeting also discussed proposals on the formation of the supreme commission for election and referendum and demanded commitments to the constitutional and legal texts and conditions of formation of the commission stipulating its independence and impartiality. The meeting discussed also the electoral system and offered visions towards it regarding the parliamentary, shoura and local elections.
The meeting agreed to discuss the law of political parties and organisations in their next meeting and agree in this regard to discuss the following:
-reconsideration of formation of the political parties and organisations,
-reconsideration of article 19 of the law concerning the financial support,
-defining aspects of financial support for the political parties and organisations activities regarding their conferences and engagement in general elections and,
-reconsideration of the 4th chapter of the law of political parties and organisations regarding financial revenues of the parties.
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.
Opposition parties lash out at the JMP

Many journalists covered the funeral of the murdered Minister, Pierre Gemayel, the latest victim in a string of political assassinations in Lebanon.
