Political conflict among the journalists circles has begun to appear with the approach of the syndicate elections scheduled to be held beginning of the next month. The past year has witnessed a noticeable action by most of the syndicate leaders I addition to prominent journalists to the wheel of endorsing the law of the syndicate, confirming the achievement is a qualitative transfer for the Yemeni press and to protect their freedom.
