Almotamar.net - Security Higher Committee warned Thursday of acts of chaos and attempts to hinder citizens from practicing their constitutional rights in the process of revising and amending voter records in preparation for the 4th parliamentary elections in Yemen scheduled next April.
The Committee mentioned in its statement that it has followed up some chaotic and outlaw elements holding gatherings and sit-ins in some governorates aimed at hampering citizens from exercising their electoral rights in accordance with the constitution and the law. Some elements, under foment by irresponsible partisan leaderships, prevented citizens from reaching headquarters of electoral committees and attacked headquarters of those committees as well as security committees in a desperate attempt to hider the progress of elections process and delay holding them on time.
The security committee said those irresponsible acts are considered violation of the constitution and election law and constitute crimes punishable by the law, confirming that security authorities are taking legal measures to control those elements, hold them accountable and send them to court.
The committee also held those elements and those behind them responsible for any dangers on life of citizens and their practice of their rights resulting from chaotic acts that may entail dangerous results affecting general order and social peace.
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.
