almotamar.net - The Democratic School in Yemen is preparing to launch Yemen Parliamentary Monitor that will represent a link between the elector and the member of the parliament. The Monitor aims to inform the elector on duties of the MP and provide information about the stands adopted by the MP at the parliament as well as giving information on activities of MPs on their candidates and the extent of their commitment to their election programmes.
The Monitor will also contribute to formation of a clear picture on MPs stances at the parliament and enhancement of the principle of transparency and accountability between the elector and the MP. It is also to disseminate awareness amid the electors about the constitution and the rules of procedure of the parliament and conditions of its membership. It is also to inform the Yemeni voter on his rights and his duties towards his representatives in the parliament and about the parliamentary blocs and their stands concerning different issues.
The YPM project includes a number of activities beginning from training monitors from the youth to attend the sessions, recording the most important of its proceedings, a website including information on the MPs, their CVs, and stances of MPs regarding different issues and the issuance of a periodic bulletin on meetings of the parliament.
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.
