almotamar.net - Assistant Secretary General for Information Sector at the General People’s Congress (GPC) Dr Ahmed Ubeid Bin Daghr has sais the passage of 20 years is not big in the age of societies but also not short especially when it is related to a great event that changed the features of life and drew a new future, which is the reunification of Yemen.

Dr Bin Daghr has made it clear that the majority of the Yemeni society in the north and the south, the east and the west, is unanimous that the unity is an issue of people destiny and a great accomplishment achieved for the people in the modern history of the Yemen revolution of 26 September and 14 October. Of course there is an exception and it had tried to follow the same way of 1994 and had not succeeds.

Dr Bin Daghr has affirmed that the roots of unity have become firm in the Yemeni society and there are difficulties and regional small projects and some of them are sectarian wanting to turn the wheel of history backwards. But, he added, in all events the subject of unity for the Yemenis is one of destiny when the matter is related to the unity the entire people stand as one man.

He said the now silent segment even in the southern and eastern provinces are unionists and cannot be dragged by some mercenaries to the square of enmity which means death and suicide. He said, “There are some complications we admit them, such as the intensive centralization and the importance of mitigating it and granting the provinces broader powers , and this is the orientation of the GPC and its programme and the election programme of the President.

The leading member of the GPC stressed that the unity will triumph because it is a great project and the small projects submitted by others would recede because they have no horizon or future. He added there are matters, some of them beyond Yemen’s capability because Yemen got affected by the world financial crisis. That influence came in two aspects; first the drop in revenues, especially oil revenues which form 70% of revenues and the second is that those revenues were no longer the same in prices as they were in 2008.

Dr Bin Daghr has also expressed his appreciation of the Arab and international stand which supports the Yemeni unity and Yemen’s stability and security.
