Columnist Ahmed Said writes saying the majority of the people of Yemen have been hoping for years for reformation of the political system through drying up springs of corruption and the establishment of a state of order and replacing the law of force by the force of the law.

The successive governments of the General People's Congress have not produced but more poverty and suppression, economic and social collapse, expansion of the area of unemployment, spread of diseases and total failure in offering services. I think marketing the illusion of gains and accomplishments and projects accompanying any formed government has become an exposed matter.

This has produced non-confidence in this party. The ruling party refuses any serious attempts for national and political reform. Those who followed up the shock that befell the GPC and the government media after publication of the JMP program for political reform, realize fragility and weakness of the regime.
