Almotamar.net - Vice-President of the republic, the Deputy Leader of the General People's Congress (GPC) Abid Rabu Mansour Hadi affirmed Wednesday that the Yemenis consider the reunification achievement on 22 May 1990 as a miracle of the 20th century for Yemen.
VP Hadi said," No one was expecting to attain what we have reached , the unity was encountered with a setback in 1994 but it came out triumphant because the unity was present in conscience of every Yemeni and will be always there. "In the ceremony of signing the National democratic Alliance (NDA) among the GPC, the parties of Opposition National Council, the Baath Socialist Party Yemen League Party and September Democratic Organisation the VP said Yemen is among the states of emerging democracy but states learn and change and no one can reach to everything but through the cooperation of all.
Mr Hadi considered the alliance as strategic democratic one for Yemen and its right to unity, the democratic pursuit and the republic regime. He said the document has become a document of strategic alliance and it is for the protection and preservation of unity, democracy and it is an alliance for the national unity and, deepening loyalty to the homeland and in defence of the goals of the revolution.
The Vice President warned that any absence of parties would give opportunity to emergence of extremist trends such as the al-Qaeda organist ion and the Aden-Abyan army and such like extremist organisations. He said the vacuum cannot be filled but with gathering of the political forces to fill that vacuum that constitutes a danger for the country.
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.
