Almotamar.net, Saba - President Ali Abdullah Saleh called on all different political parties and civil society organizations for a responsible national dialogue, affirming it is the best way to address all issues of concern to the country.

In his speech on the occasion of the 19th anniversary of Yemen's Unity Day, President Saleh said that the unity was achieved to end those disasters and bring freedom, democracy, security and safety.

"In light of separation our people suffered from bloody catastrophes and conflicts either between the two parts or inside each part of the homeland", Saleh made it clear.

Saleh confirmed that Yemeni unity will always remain and forever the illuminating candle and light of hope for Yemeni people and the Arab nation, pointing to that those who have narrow visions would not harm the homeland and would fail as they did in the past.

"I would like to reassure everyone that there are no worries or concerns about the homeland and its safety. Unity is as steady and solid as the mountains. It was achieved to remain forever because it is protected by the will of God and all sincere Yemenis and the support of brothers and friends", he said.

"Yemen with its unity has become strong, stable, prosperous and a vital element for the security, stability and peace of the region", the President highlighted.

"This year's celebrations on this precious national occasion come in light of critical circumstances and big challenges at the national, regional and international levels. On top of these are the economic circumstances resulted by the world financial crisis in light of the reduction of world oil prices in addition to the decline of Yemen's oil production and the rise of population growth percentage. In addition to the regretful events resulted by acts of riots, sabotage and banditry carried out by some elements who breach the constitution and law".

The President explained that those saboteurs tried to harm the security and safety of the homeland, create seditions and spread out a culture based on hatred, animosity, separation and racism in a desperate attempt to reset history in the homeland before the 26th of September revolution in 1962 the 14th of October 1963 and the 22nd of May 1990 and create obstacles to hinder development efforts.

"However, our people and their political, social and cultural organizations and constitutional institutions would confront any one who attempts to harm the people's revolution, republican regime, unity and democracy", he said.

President Saleh reviewed other local issues as well as international and regional developments.
