By:almotamar.net - SANA'A- Almotamar.net has come to know that the Islah Party leadership (Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen) refused Wednesday a request for the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP) leadership to withdraw its independent candidates to run for local council elections in a number of constituencies in Aden governorate in favor of YSP's candidates before the end of the Withdrawal Period.
Sources close to the two parties in Aden said Islah refusal of the YSP's request came as a reaction to a previous action by the YSP that refused Islah's request to withdraw its candidates in some constituencies in favor of the other party's candidates.
Sources added that some Islah members who run for elections as independent spoke out that they wouldn't agree with their leadership in case it agreed at the eleventh hour to withdraw in favor of the YSP candidates. They justified that they submitted their candidacy applications as independent candidates, especially after their leadership in Aden refused their requests to run for the elections as Islahi candidates, claiming there are candidates better than them.

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.
Many journalists covered the funeral of the murdered Minister, Pierre Gemayel, the latest victim in a string of political assassinations in Lebanon.
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.
