Almotamar.net, Saba - President Ali Abdullah Saleh has affirmed concern with Yemen's Islamic cities to enhance their role in serving Islamic culture, including Tarim city of Hadramout province.
In his editorial for a book published on occasion of choosing Tarim city as an Islamic Culture Capital for 2010, President Saleh added that citizens of the city have carried a flag of the Islamic call to different world countries since beginning of the Islamic age.
He highlighted celebrations on this occasion as Tarim is a city of science and knowledge in certain religious, scientific and humanitarian fields in addition to its contributions to the Islamic culture.
The book includes three chapters over the historical, geographical and cultural aspects for the city.
It is worth to mention that Tarim city was approved to be the Islamic Culture Capital 2010 by the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO).
The city is famous for its 365 mosques and prominent Islamic architecture. The most famous of these is the Mihdhar Mosque, with the distinctive architecture of its 150 meter-high mud minaret.
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.
