The Ansarullah movement sponsored a meeting in the Yemeni capital to address the political unrest which has put the nation on the brink of collapse. High-ranking military officials and prominent tribesmen attended the gathering which comes just a week after President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and his cabinet stepped down from power.
Speakers at the conference condemned some of the country’s political factions, who they accuse of following a Western agenda to divide Yemen into six autonomous regions.
The meeting also highlighted the causes of government corruption, poverty and the security meltdown which have swept the nation since former ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh was toppled from power in 2011.
Prominent Yemeni businessman Tofeak al-Amari believes the main reason for such problems is because the previous governments only served the interest of foreign powers, while concurrently disregarding the needs of the Yemeni people.
Just a few miles away from the Ansarullah seminar, the UN envoy to Yemen Jamal Be Omar met with Yemen’s political coalition parties in a bid to reach consensus on forming a Presidential committee to diffuse the rising tensions. The U-N Envoy has warned that if negotiations continue to fail, then Yemen could soon decent into civil war.
A week ago, the Yemeni president resigned from power, stirring up political unrest and uncertainty in the Arab country. However, Yemeni leaders from different groups have joined here in the capital to call for the formation of a presidential committee to extricate Yemen from the ongoing political deadlock.
