Commemoration Ceremony for Shuhari [Archives:2000/44/Local News]
A commemoration ceremony for the late Yemeni politician and poet Mr. Yusuf Mohammed Al-Shuhari was held on Saturday. The event was attended by , Prime Minister Dr. Abdulkareem Al-Iryani, ministers, men of letters and others.
Some speeches were delivered by his friends which all pointed out the great morals Al-Shuhari had. He was one of the people behind the revolution and one of the fighters in Parliament for the rights of the public. He held high ranking posts in the government but he never used them for self-enrichment as other politicians. He even refused to be given a car by the parliament and preferred to walk on foot. In short, he was a symbol of honesty and real patriotism.
Thus, Yemen has lost one of its brave and honest titans.
