YEMEN (No. 2)

Motion Text

That this House is deeply concerned about increasing violence in the Republic of Yemen, particularly recent incidents in the provinces of Dhala, Mukalla, Abyan and other places; notes that violence, hostage taking, bombings and increasing poverty will only bring further instability and deteriorating economic conditions to the country; appeals to the President to initiate a process for political dialogue with peaceful, popular and democratic opposition groups in order that a comprehensive national reconciliation can be achieved; urges him to set up a balanced political structure which includes systems of local government and an independent judiciary; and further urges him to recognise that only through these measures will peace, stability and national unity in the Republic of Yemen be attained.
