– Huge demonstration in Sa'ada in support of arms bearing ban

The ruling party-run paper reported in a front page article that thousands of people in the restive province of Sana'a, north of the country, organized a huge demonstration on Sunday in support of the government's decision to ban carrying weapons in Sana'a and the provincial capitals of governorates. The demonstrators took to streets with the strong faith that the spread of weapons nationwide has negative impacts on security, stability and social peace while the ban will help boost investment and comprehensive development.

The demonstration involved ordinary citizens, youths, students as well as supporters of such a brave national decision to have main cities free of weapons. The demonstrators gave speeches during the event at Al-Salam Sporting Stadium, praising the serious efforts, which the government has so far expended to prohibit carrying arms in main cities and restrict spread of such a bad habit.
