Columnist Ali Yassin says in his article it is almost no month passes without a threat of or carrying out a strike witnessed in Aden against practices of the authority and its followers in Aden. All these are means of peaceful confrontation and peaceful struggle. The great city of Aden is used to this kind of struggle since the time of the British rule and colonialism. The fifties period can be described as the time of the peaceful struggle in Aden and was led by trade unions. But now the situation is different because the Adeni suffering comes at the hand of the relatives not the British colonization. The leadership of trade unions in facing the present suppression by the authority must be taking priority in the thinking and interest of those interested in the trade unionist work inside Aden. This could not be realized unless the people are capable of establishing and choosing trade unionist leaderships representing them and their suffering.
The situations are deteriorating day by day and month by month, the people do not receive their wages and land Mafia is so active and the administrative and financial corruption has become the rule preferred by the authority. This situation calls for the establishment of real trade unions and honest leaderships elected by free election.
