Almotamar.net, Saba - President Ali Abdullah Saleh chaired on Monday a meeting for the National Defence Council. The meeting discussed a number of issues, coming on top the situations in the north-west region, in addition to security issues in some governorates with respect to violence and destruction acts committed by the outlawed elements.
The Council directed the Supreme Security Committee (SSC) to take all reliable procedures to preserve public security and arrest the perpetrators to be presented to justice, affirming the importance of the local authority and security apparatuses in those governorate to carry out their responsibilities to hunt and arrest those elements and not to allow them the chance to commit destruction actions.
It praised the brave battles of the armed and security personnel in performing their tasks through crashing the Saada rebels as well as tracking down on Al-Qaeda elements.
The Council affirmed the necessity to continue efforts to reinforce and improve abilities of the defence and security institution in various domains.
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.
