Almotamar.net - Supreme National Anti-Corruption Commission (SNACC) has on Tuesday called on the civil society for an effective partnership to draft an implementable national strategy for the enhancement of values of integrity and fighting corruption.
In a workshop organised today in collaboration with the German establishment for technical cooperation (GTZ), Deputy Chairman of the SNACC Dr Balqis Abu Isbaa emphasized the SNACC partnership with the civil society in drawing up the national strategy on anticorruption, pointing out that the Commission attaches much interest to this partnership in combating corruption and dissemination of awareness on dangers of corruption and means of preventing it. Dr Balqis recalled the Commission's endeavour to activate this partnership with many taken steps, among them its launching in late last year the idea of the national alliance for integrity in addition to holding the first consultative meeting the civil society organisations to learn their conception of fighting corruption.
Member of the SNACC Izzidin al-Asbahi called for the formation of a working team from governmental and non-governmental sides so that to establish a clear-cut national vision on combating corruption. He deemed the meeting as a fist step for building partnership between the Commission and various government and non-governmental institutions.

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.
