Al-Wahdawi editorial says there is no exaggeration if we say that the 22nd of May was the greatest turning point in Yemen's modern history and may be the most outstanding event achieved for Yemen following decades of division.

Whatever have accompanied the march if unity of mistakes remain the most sublime goal in the conscience of every Yemeni. Out of its unionist precepts and principles, and out of values and unionist principles, the Nasserite Unionist Organisation has been among the most outstanding callers of unifying the homeland.

Now after the elapse of fifteen years on the unity of Yemen, we believe that the unity is an achievement that could not be squandered under any kind of justification. If there are any practices harming the unity from this party or that, all have to stand up to them. The unity is an accomplishment realized by the people. It is their demand and none has the right to be skeptical on importance of keeping Yemen as unified as it is, whatever the justifications are. The political leadership has to maintain and preserve this accomplishment through realization of the people's aspirations and hopes in a dignified life, equal citizenship and real development, as well as strong fighting against corruption threatening the unity.
