Columnist Sanad Abdulla Najad writes an article giving justifications for restructuring the Yemeni state on federal bases, saying that the diversity of the ethnic structure in Yemen; religiously, sociologically, psychologically indicate variation within the Yemeni one entity which represents a general framework that contain the national combination in its general form. It is a variation hat should be considered and to be received with interest in the state's national structural reality.
The second pretext the writer submits in proposing his idea, he says that the historical experience of Sana'a central authority before the unity and after it proved the continuation of the policy pursued and performed by the former state which contained the sectarian characteristic represented by the ideological and governing experience of the Immamate rule of the family of Al-Hameeduldin. That ruling family had built its governance on the grounds of Zaidi sectarian and not the equal citizenship that includes all the sons of the homeland.
The writer concludes that the federation as an issue is still vital and live in the opposition political address and represents a national political introduction to equal opportunities and political stability on democratic and civilized bases.
