Dear Sir/Madam
Re: Invitation to a Demonstration
The Southern Democratic Assembly (TAJ) representing the people of South Yemen would like to inform you that we will stage a protest to coincide with the invasions of South Yemen by North Yemen on May 23, 2008.
The first demonstration will be in front of The Building of Department of States from 10 am till 2.00 pm.
The second demonstration will be at 1600 Pennsylvania AVE. In front of The White House. from 11:00am till 2:00pm.
The aim of the protest is to:
- Draw the attention of the international community and seek its understanding and support to end the Unity by force which turned into a military occupation.
- Call for Self determination of our people in South Yemen.
- Call for an end to the violation of human rights in South Yemen by the Northern military occupation and to immediate release of our leaders from North Yemeni prison Mr. Hasan Baoom, Mr. Yahya Galib, Mr. Ahmed Omar Bin Fareed, Mr. Ali Munasar Mohammed, Mr. Ali Haitham Alghareeb, Mr. Husain Zaid Bin Yahya, Mr. Ahmed Alqumo and hundreds of other Southern prisoners.
- Remind the International Community that their position was represented by the Security Council resolutions 924 and 931 issued in (1994). The council decided that there should be no Unity by force and no secession during the war. We South Yemeni people call upon the International Community to fulfil its obligation by enforcing these important resolutions.
- Bring our issues to this level, we urge and plea the international community not to ignore Southerner's right to choose the type of political system that they want in their own country.
- Warn the international community that if the situation in south Yemen is ignored it might escalate and become another Somalia. Then it would be too late for the international community to resolve.
