Yemen’s Unification A Step towards Arab Solidarity [Archives:2000/20/Viewpoint]

Within a few days, we will be celebrating the completion of one decade of united Yemen. It is also wonderful to receive all the Arab leaders on this auspicious occasion and remember that the two countries were unified peacefully.
This is an opportunity to review the crucial issues between Arab nations and devise ways and means to resolve them. It is an occasion to bridge the gaps between Arab countries that have little friction between them. It is quite pleasant to hear abut the likely visit of Saudi Prince Abdullah to Yemen for the celebrations. This would usher in better hopes of resolving the border dispute. It is a remarkable time, and it would even be more remarkable if we could focus attention on the crying need for an Arab solidarity, the solidarity that we are eagerly looking forward to. WALID A.
