The newspaper's editorial says that MPs, belonging to different political parties, voted on Wednesday for rescinding the parliamentary immunity of the terrorist Yahya Al-Houthi, who is currently residing in Germany. The Parliament's determination to take such a procedure was commended by the government, which said the stand reflects MPs' understanding and awareness about the necessity of unifying official and opposition efforts in dealing with national issues.

Irrespective of the different viewpoints on some political and party issues as differences are a normal phenomenon in any democratic community, terrorism necessitates joint efforts of the political forces in the country since its impacts reach everyone. All the necessities require the ruling party and the opposition, as well as all the social groups to stand by the government in any step it takes toward construction and achievement.

The joint efforts in dealing with national issues, such as Al-Houthi-led rebellion, will help develop the social sense and understanding of partnership and interaction with processes of Yemen's comprehensive development.
