Almotamar.net - Vice Chairwomen of the Yemeni Women National Committee Houriyah Mashour is to lead the Yemeni woman delegation to meetings of the session 41 of the UN Woman Committee to be held in New York in the period of 30 June to 18 July 2008. The Yemeni women delegation is to present and discuss the 5th national report on the level of implementing the agreement on ending all forms of discrimination against the woman so as to measure progress and improvement at the level of the woman development in all fields.
Yemen had presented the 4th and the 5th reports to the committee of the agreement in August 2003. During the past four years since that date many changes have taken place such as the approval of legal texts in the laws of personal status and nationality, labour and civil service, civil record, all of which contributed to removal of discrimination against the woman.
A press statement by the Yemeni Women National Committee obtained by the almotamar.net, however, mentioned that despite of that there still real challenges facing a qualitative improvement of the woman situations.

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