'S Arabia against stability in Yemen'
Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:26:06 GMT
A senior Yemeni analyst says the ongoing crisis in Yemen is to a large
extent the result of a Saudi plot against the country.
Abdullah Kholani, the editor-in-chief of Yemen's "alwahdawi" newspaper says
Yemen has experienced crises after the 1962 revolution, but the current
crisis in the country is more dangerous than all the previous ones.
"A large part of the crisis has been created by Saudi Arabia, because the
Saudi hardliners have adopted an aggressive stance on Yemen after the Yemeni
revolution brought by Nasserites," Kholani said.
"Yemen's stability is against Saudi Arabia's interests, because the Saudi
kingdom has been established by colonizers and the global Zionism has
supported it before the advent of the golden age of oil," he added.
The information secretary of the Nasserite Unionist People's Organization
(NUPO) stated that Saudi Arabia worries that stability in Yemen would leave
no space in the Arab Peninsula for hardliners.
NUPO is a political party in Yemen that was established in 1965.
Following the September 1962 revolution, the Yemen Arab Republic became
closely allied with and heavily dependent on Egypt. Saudi Arabia aided the
royalists in their attempt to defeat the Republicans and did not recognize
the Yemen Arab Republic until 1970.
Nasserism is an Arab nationalist political ideology based on the thinking of
the former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. It was a major influence
on pan-Arab politics in the 1950s and 1960s.
