Writer Mohammed Saif Al-Udaini writes in comment on the recent cabinet reshuffle in Yemen saying we are used to changing persons of the government but not the change of the system and its policy. There is no value in changing persons without changing policies and strategies.

The writer adds that there would not be any improvement as much as the change in persons of the government in response to pressures or for absorption of the people anger.

The people will realize there is an intention of change when certain conditions are applied.

– There must be a genuine establishment for constitutional democratic life exceeding chaotic governance.

– Development and purging the government apparatus and other administrations in compatibility with the logic of the state of law and institutions.

– The priority of the good government duties should be the work for achieving social justice among governorates and bridge the differences between deep poverty and high richness, to plan for avoiding explosion of civil conflicts.

– Determination of allowing civil organizations to be free in conscience, opinion and conduct and to keep them away from domination by institutions of the state.
