Almotamar.net - Secretary General of the General Arab Woman Union, the Chairperson of the Yemen Women Union YWU Ramzia Abbas al-Eryany is to participate in a conference on non-governmental woman organisations in the Arab countries convened by the Cultural forum of the Arab and Dutch Woman in The Hague, Holland.
A press release issued by the YWU , obtained by almotamar.net mentioned that the conference would discuss gains made by woman charity organisations/societies for the woman in the Arab societies at the legal, educational and labour levels in addition to amending or changing some stances and directions that view the woman as a second rate citizen.
The conference would be attended by some chairwomen of civil society organisations and some ladies concerned with and working in this field from different Arab countries.
The statement pointed out that the conference would also discuss difficulties facing many of woman organisations in Arab countries that take protection behind charity titles so that to avoid some hindrances such as difficulties of registration, financing, independence and officially recognizing them. In addition, the accelerating increase of civil society organizations in the Arab societies has aroused controversy on the national affiliation of those organisations and has been repeatedly accused of being pro-west organisations.

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.
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.
