Thousands rally across South Yemen for independence

Kuwait Times - 28 February, 2010
كويت تايمز: الالاف الجنوبيين يطالبون بالاستقلال

Thousands rallied across south Yemen yesterday after an appeal from the last president of the independent south for them to send international donors a message they want their state back. Ali Salem Al-Baid, who led the south to unity with the north in 1990, called on Friday for "two days of southern anger" to coincide with a major Yemen donors' meeting in neighboring Saudi Arabia. Brandishing flags of the former south and of Saudi Arabia, crowds took to the streets of the major towns of the province
s of Dhaleh, Lahij, Abyan and Hadramawt where businesses remained closed for fear of clashes with security forces, witnesses and local officials said.

In Abyan, three civilians suffered bullet wounds when police moved to stop demonstrators cutting the highway between the provincial capital Zinjibar and the south's main city Aden, witnesses said. Southern Islamist leader Tareq Al-Fadhli called on demonstrators in the centre of Zinjibar "to continue your struggle until the south is freed from Yemeni occupation." Fadhli, a former jihadist who rallied to the southern cause, promised "victory soon" over the Sanaa government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Pr
otestors also demonstrated in the town of Lauder further northeast, witnesses said.

In Dhaleh, thousands gathered in defiance of a curfew which had been imposed overnight. Police stopped only vehicle traffic from circulating, residents said. In Lahej, thousands demonstrated in the towns of Hutah and Al-Habilain, and rallies were held in Mukallah, the main city of Hadramawt. In his appeal from exile, the former southern leader had called for mass protests to coincide with the two-day meeting in the Saudi capital Riyadh, which gathers Yemen's wealthy Gulf neighbors and its other major donor
s.

I call on you over the next two days to send a message to our Arab brothers and to the representatives of the international community gathered in Riyadh underlining your rejection of the occupation and your commitment to self-determination," Baid said. "Our only weapon is our determination to recover our rights whatever the cost," he said, adding: "We will succeed in regaining our independence." Pro-independence demonstrations have multiplied in the south in recent months amid a worsening economic situati
on and complaints of discrimination in favor of northerners by the Sanaa government.

Western governments have been pushing for a sharp increase in aid to Yemen to help Sanaa tackle multiple sources of dissent. Zaidi Shiite rebels in the far north waged a seven-year uprising against government troops before a tenuous truce came into force on February 12. Yemen is also Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's ancestral homeland and the West fears growing Islamic militancy.

Thousands rally for south Yemen independence


Released on - Sunday,28 February , 2010 -12:52

Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets of three provinces for a second successive day on Sunday to demand the independence of the country's south, witnesses said.
The protests in Abyan, Daleh and Lahj provinces were conducted in tandem with a two-day international donors' meeting in neighbouring Saudi Arabia on aiding the Arabian peninsula country.
"Thousands of men and women went out in Lahj province carrying pictures of former vice president Ali Salem al-Bidh and southern flags," a witness said.
Bidh, who led the south to unity with the north in 1990 but is now a major separatist leader, had called on Friday for "two days of southern anger" to coincide with the donors' meeting.
Witnesses said the protests on Sunday were peaceful, without any major confrontations with security forces, which are heavily deployed across the south.
But police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators in the city of Daleh, witnesses said.
Three Abyan civilians suffered bullet wounds on Saturday when police moved to stop protestors cutting the highway between the provincial capital Zinjibar and the south's main city Aden, witnesses said.
General Ghazi Ali Mohsen, head of security in Daleh province, said 21 "rioters" were arrested in Daleh.
"The subversive elements were carrying weapons and flags and calling" for the secession of the south from the north, Mohsen said.
Pro-independence demonstrations have multiplied in the south in recent months amid a worsening economic situation and complaints of discrimination in favour of northerners by the Sanaa government.
South Yemen was independent from 1967 until 1990, when it united with the north. The south seceded in 1994, sparking a short-lived conflict that ended when the south was overrun by northern troops.

Yemen arrests 21 in south

By Mohammed Mokhashaf
ADEN (Reuters) - Separatists demonstrated in southern Yemen on Sunday after security forces arrested 21 people accused of rioting, residents and officials said.

People travelling to Aden said demonstrations continued for a second day in the main southern city and in the provinces of Abyan and Dalea, also in the south of the poorest Arab country.

Demonstrators, some carrying the flag of the former South Yemen which united with the north in 1990, blocked the main road linking Aden with Dalea, they said.

Security forces arrested 21 people in the provincial capital of Dalea on Saturday as hundreds protested against earlier arrests, a Defence Ministry website said.

The protests were timed to coincide with a two-day meeting of Yemen donors in the Saudi capital Riyadh. Marchers and speakers at rallies called on the meeting to address the unresolved conflict in the south.

"The chief of security in Dalea said security forces were able to prevent and disperse a number of elements attempting to cause chaos, riot, and who were chanting slogans aimed at spreading hatred and causing division," the website said.

On Saturday, authorities imposed tougher security measures in Dalea, where separatist tensions have been rising. These included a ban on carrying weapons in public, two days after a policeman was shot dead in an ambush in a nearby province.

The policeman's death brought to four the number of people killed in attacks on security personnel in the south in a week as authorities mounted arrest sweeps targeting separatists.

People in the south, home to most Yemeni oil facilities, complain that northerners have abused the 1990 agreement uniting the country to grab resources and discriminate against them.

On February 11, Yemen struck a truce with Shi'ite rebels in the north of the country who have been fighting over religious, economic and social grievances, a conflict that had drawn in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

Western nations and Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, fear al Qaeda is using the chaos in Yemen to recruit and train militants for attacks in the region and beyond.

The Yemeni arm of al Qaeda claimed responsibility for a failed attempt to bring down a U.S. airliner in December.

South Yemen calls for independence

Thousands have rallied across southern Yemen after an appeal from the last president of the independent south to re-establish the state that ceased to exist twenty years ago.

Ali Salem al-Baid, who led the south to unity with the north in 1990, called for a second day of "southern anger" on Saturday, to coincide with a meeting of international donors to Yemen in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

"I call on you ... to send a message to our Arab brothers and to the representatives of the international community gathered in Riyadh underlining your rejection of the occupation and your commitment to self-determination," Baid said.

"Our only weapon is our determination to recover our rights, whatever the cost ... we will succeed in regaining our independence."

Brandishing flags of the former south and of Saudi Arabia, crowds took to the streets in the major towns of the provinces of Dhaleh, Lahij, Abyan and Hadramawt.

Businesses in these areas remained closed for fear of clashes with security forces, witnesses and local officials said.

In Abyan, three civilians suffered bullet wounds when police moved to stop demonstrators cutting the highway between the provincial capital of Zinjibar and the south's main city, Aden, witnesses said.

'Yemeni occupation'

Tareq al-Fadhli, a prominent southern secessionist, called on demonstrators in the centre of Zinjibar "to continue your struggle until the south is freed from Yemeni occupation".

Fadhli, a former Islamist who rallied to the southern cause, promised "victory soon" over the Sanaa government of Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Yemeni president.

Protesters also demonstrated in the town of Lauder further northeast, while in Dhaleh, thousands gathered in defiance of a curfew which had been imposed overnight.

South Yemen Launches Intifada For Independence
By Aljazeera
28 February, 2010
Aljazeera
Yemeni security forces have fired tear gas and live ammunition to disperse protesters in the southern city of Daleh, sources tell Al Jazeera.
Residents of three provinces -Abyan, Daleh and Lahij - took to the streets on Sunday for the second day in a row to press their demand for the independence of the country's south.
Witnesses said police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators in Daleh city.
The protests are taking place in tandem with a two-day international donors' meeting in neighbouring Saudi Arabia on aiding Yemen.
Ali Salem al-Baid, a politician who led the south to unity with the north in 1990, had called on Friday for "two days of southern anger".
General Ghazi Ali Mohsen, head of security in Daleh, said 21 "rioters" were arrested in the city.
"The subversive elements were carrying weapons and flags and calling" for the secession of the south from the north, he said.
Message to donors
In his speech calling for the two days of protests, Baid said: "I call on you ... to send a message to our Arab brothers and to the representatives of the international community gathered in Riyadh underlining your rejection of the occupation and your commitment to self-determination.
"Our only weapon is our determination to recover our rights, whatever the cost ... we will succeed in regaining our independence."
In response, crowds brandishing flags of the former south and of Saudi Arabia have been taking to the streets in the major towns of Daleh, Lahij, Abyan and Hadramaut.

Businesses in these areas remain closed for fear of clashes with security forces, witnesses and local officials say.
In Abyan, three civilians suffered bullet wounds when police moved to stop demonstrators cutting the highway between the provincial capital of Zinjibar and the south's main city, Aden, witnesses said.
