Salman Rushdi, Mandoob Dai Fatima Sultanual (the representative of Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanaddin- the present Dai dealt with many subjects in his speech. He mentioned the great achievements of Dai Idris. He recounted the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. He also said Shebam along with other great peaks of Haraz were great centers of learning in the Fatimid Dai’s times, not just garrisons for soldiers. He said Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin had advised his followers in Yemen to uproot their Qat trees and clean their land from this evil and they had responded in earnest. He has helped them by providing viable alternatives like training them on bookkeeping, animal husbandry and by giving them samplings of coffee and other fruit trees such as almond and olive.
at the end of his speech he lauded the tremendous achievements of the President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his government. Mr. Rashed prayed for him and thanked him and his government for bringing democracy and unity and protecting the country from all its enemies.
