Almotamar.net - Local media sources disclosed Thursday a political extortion practiced by the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen, the Yemeni Congregation for Reform (Islah) party over control of one of the largest government buildings to be taken as headquarters of the party in the capital Sana'a with the aim of expanding its trade activities and investment projects without taking into consideration the rest of the Joint Meeting Parties.
While the sources indicated to ongoing negotiations and dialogue between the Joint Meeting Parties and the president of the republic on formation of the elections committee, the sources disclosed about an agenda of the Islah as part of its negotiations. According to a report by Elaf private sector newspaper in its latest issue quoting political sources as saying that the Islah demanded to be given its own headquarters suitable for its status in the political arena, proposing the Defence complex located in Bab al-Yamen or the building of the General Command located in Al-Qiyada Street.

Chairman of the special committee entrusted with studying the amendments presented by the government on the election law Sheikh Mohammed Bin Naji al-Shaef told Elaf newspaper that members of the committee from the opposition parties have for the third time proposed postponement. He indicated that delegates of parties parliamentary blocs were told to inform their parties that the concerned committee, in addition to a chairman and a reporter would on Saturday as the last date given to those parties by the committee, would take measures they are authorized with constitutionally and legally for referring its report to the parliament on the amendments related to formation of the higher committee for elections from judges.

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.
