Yemen must win

No doubt that the year 2009 was the worst in Yemen’s recent history at all levels and in all domains.

Politically the conflict between the Joint Meeting Parties, the JMP, and  the ruling party, The General People’s Congress, escalated  include the aggravation of the Southern Movement and the conflict in Sa’adah. Citizens have always been the victims of the conflicts. They are the ones that have been paying the bills of war and conflict with currency and blood. The poverty rate increased sharply as the prices for the most essential food and commodities doubled as a result of the global economic crisis and the internal conflicts.

Many analysts warned about the tri-area conflict in Yemen represented in the al-Qaeda’s threats, the Houthies conflict and the Southern Movement crisis. The battles against al-Qaeda, the Houthies and against the saboteur elements of the Southern Movement negatively affected the programs designed to fight.

The government has announced their intent to launch a comprehensive political dialogue among all political parties and organizations in which to discuss all of the problematic issues in the country. The head of the preparation committee of the dialogue, the Speaker of the Shura Council, Abdul Aziz Abdul Ghani, announced that the dialogue conference is to commence on January 9, 2010. According to the preparation committee, it expected that all political parties, including the JMP, are to take part in the conference.  Abdul-Ghani also affirmed that the dialogue will have no limitation or ceiling, except those issues that are against the constitution.

For the year 2010, to avoid the drawbacks and crisis which happened in 2009 we hope all political parties will revise their policies that are leading the country toward a dangerous and disastrous future.

We hope that the ruling party, joint meeting parties, and other opposition parties would forget their partisan or personal interests and put the interest of the country above all others.

We hope that the government would prove to be practical, that they will respond to the demands of those who cast a ballet, and enabled them to be elected, and fight corruption, unemployment and poverty.

People want to see corrupt groups referred to justice and punished. People want the government to organize a state of law and order. The government must crush the rebels, southern saboteurs and al-Qaeda terrorist elements.

These are the big battles, which the majority of Yemeni’s hope the government may be capable of winning.

However, wining these battles is not the responsibility of the government alone. It is the responsibility of all political parties and organizations and the responsibility of all citizens each from his/her position.

Yemen must win by the hands and wills of its honest honored citizens.
