Will this day ever come? [Archives:2005/824/Letters to the Editor]

Looking at the situation in Yemen today, what we are supposed to ask is: Will the day come when Yemen is ruled freely and democratically and when each and every citizen will be treated with dignity and respect. That is the day when mistreatment and atrocities will end for good.

We are indeed in a very strange time. I could not believe it when I heard that our government had openly given a tender to the company that paid highest in the form of taxes. Can you believe that we have reached such a stage?

Yemen will emerge as a strong nation only when equality and rule of law are enforced and when no extra guards will be assigned to any government official and all will be the same in front of the law.

Will this day ever come?
