Mansour Hadi concern over deal hinderance

Yemen's President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi has accused some unnamed fronts of trying to hinder the GCC power transfer deal which saw him elected as a transitional President aimed at paving a democratic rule in the country. Speaking to the Yemeni parliament members, whom he met on Sunday in his presidential palace, Hadi stressed that Yemen will not go through transition successfully unless all the country's powers are to contribute to this success, including the state authority, the legislative power, the judicial institution, the military committees, the political parties that signed the GCC deal and the non-governmental organisations. He urged all these powers to forget about past conflicts and work to establish "a new Yemen" based on the democratic concepts. Hadi insisted that his government has succeeded in achieving a tremendous improvement in security, especially after the expanded military campaign he launched against al-Qaeda militants who were taking control over large parts of South Yemen, particularly in Abyan province. The Yemeni President stressed that the terms of the GCC deal are totally clear, however, he accused some unnamed fronts of trying to hinder this deal by "acting as they do not understand its terms." He warned those unnamed fronts that their negative role will not be tolerated. Hadi also urged domestic media machines to stop reporting "misleading news" that would only deepen the rifts between the country's rival political fronts, saying that all efforts must be focused on reaching the date set for the upcoming presidential elections (February 21 2014) while the country is enjoying relative calmness.
