President heads a consultative meeting

SANA'A, April 25 (Saba)-President Ali Abdullah Saleh headed on
Saturday a consultative meeting for the political, legislative,
security and military leaderships over the situation in some
governorates.

In his speech to the meeting, president Saleh pointed out to events
which have been taken place since two years in some governorates and
districts, saying such events aim at returning the nation to time
before the unification.

He said that there were irresponsible acts from time to time to
create new conflicts in the nation, adding that the nation is not
for President Ali Abdullah Saleh or any one, the nation is for all
Yemenis.

President Saleh highlighted Yemeni unification, saying it is title
of dignity of all Yemenis and future of coming generations.

He made it clear that if there is issue in Saada, Rada, Abyan,
Dhamar, Shabwa Lahj or Aden, it should be discussed seriously by the
Parliament and government.

The president said that the main concerns are development, security
and stability.

We are facing terrorism, which puts restrictions on tourism,
development and oil explorations, president Saleh said, we have to
go ahead with building human resources and combating the terror.

He pointed out to the importance of the dialogue to resolve any
issue apart from erupting violence, blocking roads and spreading
the culture of disinclination among citizens of the nation,
expressing worry about coming generations from this culture.

I' m sure, all agree on rejection for returning back to the Imamate
ruling or colonization, president Saleh said.

He praised role of Yemen Socialist Party in achieving the
unification and its role in unifying sultans and sheikhs in former
south part of Yemen. "Thanks for the party and the Front of
Liberation and all honest forces."

In his speech, president Saleh also said that the plots against the
unification would not be succeeded.

Existence of disagreement and dispute is normal, but it should be
under roof of the national principles, revolution, unification,
freedom, democracy, security and stability.

He added that separation and regionalism concepts were before
revolutions of 26 September, and 14 October and 22nd May - day of
the unification, and the people rejected to return these concepts
again.


He pointed out to the issue of lands, saying that it is right of any
Yemeni in south to have land in north and the citizen in north has
right to have land in south.

President Saleh called all in power and opposition for facing outlaw
elements who target the national and its unification.

Moreover, president Saleh talked about the future tasks of the
government, calling for the joint work to make amendments on
constitution to improve the political and democratic system in order
to shaft to the local ruling.
