Abdullah Al-Hadhrami - It seems that the candidate of the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) for the president of the state does not realize the meaning of state and cannot differentiate between political system and presidential candidate. He does not know that he is nominated to be president of the one Yemen rather than a certain region.

The speeches Bin Shamlan delivered and statements he gave all of them call for topple the regime and his being chosen as absolute ruler, giving his orders unilaterally. He does not seem to be an owner of a political project to govern and run an institutional country under a democratic system that opened the door before him to offer what he has in store without facing any block and to submit his political project to the electorate who only they have the right to grant him or others their confidence as they judge who is the most appropriate. However, the man only thinks he is inheritor of a throne, regrouping his followers and supporters in preparation for a battle of restoring that throne, promising his followers army with rivers of honey and threatening those who do not support him with severest punishment.
The state he is calling to topple is none but the Yemeni Republic, with its constitution, unity and its democratic system that gives the people the right to express a vision different from that of Bin Shamlan and a different political project without fear hat I could be a crime the JMP will punish them for it, if he wins. Or they will face punishment if they do not accept choosing him or his illusory platform and promises that no reason can grasp.
Bin Shamlan who describes whoever does not elect him as satisfied with beggary and as traitor, does not know the meaning of the right to differ with others, the opinion and counter opinion and other syllabus of the democracy alphabets and human rights. He considers his rivals as bad ones and calls for changing them with all means during his electoral propaganda, as he says in the JMP press.
He has filled his latest speech with zonal bias and abandoned, not only the Arab and Islamic unity that he promised to achieve in his platform, but also the national unity and was saying that oil is from Hadramout and Hadramout is poor. Thus he could have confined his promise for eradicating poverty and curbing unemployment in Yemen to shedding tears on Hadramout and to promise anew that he would make the oil of Hadramout for Hadramout, calling for partitioning Yemen. Bin Shamlan’s speech biased to regions will not arouse feelings of the sons of Hadramout in his favor for they are known for their wisdom and it is difficult to bluff them. They believe in the homeland not a governorate and say as the rest of their Yemeni brethren: the oil of Yemen for all Yemen, rather than for Hadramout or Marib.
The doors of clinging to regional affiliation that the sons of Hadramout have closed in the face of Bin Shamlan in the mid of August and made him angry after each meeting with them, will be open by his monotonous and undesired calls in September and after September.
Bin Shamlan maybe the only one who deserves commiseration and he is bankrupt even from a good word.
