President Saleh Supports the YJS [Archives:1999/13/Local News]

President Ali Abdulalh Saleh expressed full support for the newly elected leadership of the Yemeni Journalist Syndicate (YJS).
President Saleh was speaking to Mahboob Ali, the new chairman of the Syndicate, and the elected board members, whom he received in audience on Monday, March 22nd.
Also attending the meeting was Hatem Zakarya, representative of the Federation of Arab Journalists, who supervised the elections last week.
The new charter adopted by the conference calls for re-alignment of the syndicate membership along professional lines. “Many people who are not journalists are now members. We will start a weeding out process,” Mahboob told Yemen Times.
He added that a technical team from Egypt will arrive in Sanaa in two weeks to help the Yemeni side in defining and screening of journalist members.
