Almotamar.net - In statements to Al- Jazeera and BBC TV satellite Channels Wednesday, the General People's Congress (GPC)'s Head of the Information Office Tareq al-Shamy affirmed that the events happened in the governorates of Al-Dhalie and Lahj on Monday are acts of sabotage targeting the national unity and endeavouring to spread the spirit of hatred and secessionist feuds and to impede development, blocking roads, robbing public and private property and trouble security and stability in some governorates.

Al-Shamy said those who are behind those acts are a few people who have lost their interests and work for taking advantage of simple people in instigating secessionist goals targeting the homeland unity. He called the attention that no one can allege representing sons of the southern governorates saying ," There are leaderships elected by the people in all Yemeni provinces, among them the southern, in the parliament and local councils and they alone represent their regions and have the right to talk in their name."

Mr al-Shamy emphasized that there is no relationship of what happened in Al-Dhalie and Lahj governorates with rights demand, reminding of the measures that had been taken for solving the retired people demands. He said what were so-called demands of the retired were cured and their situations were settled and they were granted ranks and financial dues retroactively. He added those treatments were done under a political decision and with direct supervision of the president of the republic.

Furthermore, al-Shamy made it clear that there is a political exploitation of some issues by parties of the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) alliance, indicating that some refuse results of democracy and want to impose themselves on the political life in the country away from the democratic approach and affirmed that elections are the sole way for attaining power.
