I enjoyed reading your recent article “Can this be a new beginning?” published on 13th September. Certainly, it's an undeniable fact that we urgently need to disarm the far-off tribes because we won't be able to live tranquilly in this obsessed atmosphere. We have, therefore, to seize the opportunity of terminating the followers of heretic cleric in Saadah to launch an extensive war against the armed tribes. However, it is worth taking into account that the government is mindful and handles this carefully. With the prevalence of this phenomenon, unfortunately our government faces intractable problems, the most important of all, the lack of adequate finances to compensate the primitive tribes who are armed to the teeth, by employing and amalgamating them into society.
In addition, the activation of a geopolitical approach can probably make a sense of patriotism, which paves the way to ease the disarmament process in a few years.
