Yemeni officials: 4 killed in clashes with police

At least four Yemenis were killed Thursday and dozens others injured when police reportedly opened fire during a demonstration by thousands of anti-government protesters in the southern port of Aden, officials said Thursday.
They were protesting against discrimination of southern residents by the government located in the north, said police officials.
Hospital personnel and a security official said four died in the clashes with police and seven were reported in critical condition.
Yemen's south has been rocked by violent demonstrations by disgruntled southerners calling for reform and power-sharing. Although north and south Yemen united in 1990, rebels launched a failed bid for independence in 1994.
Ali Salem al-Beidh, the former Yemeni vice president who declared the south independent in 1994 and sparked civil war, urged southerners Thursday to continue the fight. He told reporters in Germany that the international community should force the government to withdraw its army from the south.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh said in a speech broadcast on national television that those who want to secede would fail as they did in 1994 and "unity is solid and is protected by the honest people of Yemen."
A security official in Aden said police fired shots in the air to disperse the demonstrators Thursday. He did not say whether anyone was killed or injured by the gunfire, but indicated the demonstration was not approved in advance by the police.
Police prevented journalists and television stations from covering the event, according to the official, who said at least 120 people have been detained.
He and other officials requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Civil war fears as Yemen celebrates unity

Unity Day is marked with a show of military strength in the northern capital Sanaa

Reports from southern Yemen say at least three people were killed when police broke up an unauthorised demonstration in Aden.
Others were injured, and dozens of arrests were made. Reports say the police used tear gas and live rounds.
Protests were over poor living standards and alleged discrimination against southern Yemen by the authorities in the north.
Yemen is marking the anniversary of its historic unification in 1990.
Analysts say there has been rising tension throughout the south in the past two years, as the southern independence movement has gained strength.
It began two years ago when former southern military officials, forced into compulsory retirement, demanded higher pension payments.
The protesters have been accusing President Ali Abdullah Saleh of corruption and openly calling for independence from his government in the northern mountain capital, Sanaa.
The independence movement received an unexpected boost at the end of April, when Tariq al-Fadhli - a prominent ally of President Saleh and a veteran of the jihad against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan - switched sides and joined the southern independence movement.
Western orientation
In an interview conducted with the BBC on the eve of Unity Day, Tarik al-Fadhli set out his manifesto.
"Our demand is to separate from the north, to build a united south and secure the release of political prisoners held in Sanaa," he said. The former ally of Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan rejected claims that he wanted to create an Islamist state in south Yemen, saying: "Far from it, we are in need of the West now."
He argued that Western donors had to insist on conditions and "stop their political and economic assistance" being used by President Saleh "to crush the people of the south."
If the south achieved independence under his ******ship, he promised to tackle terrorism and improve maritime security in the Gulf of Aden "with integrity and co-operation with the West, especially the United Kingdom".
Mr Fadhli also called for Western diplomats to put pressure on President Saleh to allow the international media to have unrestricted access to the south.
President Saleh has ordered the closure of several newspapers ([فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات]) in recent weeks for allegedly promoting separatism.
Analysts say fears that southern unrest could spark a civil war in Yemen ([فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات]) prompted the US *****istration to issue a statement on 3 May supporting "a stable, unified, and democratic Yemen".
Economic woes
President Saleh himself has warned that Yemenis "have to learn a lesson from what had happened in Iraq and Somalia."

President Saleh has ordered the closure of newspapers reporting the unrest

Tension in the south is leading some analysts to propose a federal solution - but many of Yemen's oil fields are located in the south.
A new liquid natural gas plant, which will generate much-needed government revenue when it starts operating this summer, is also located on the south coast.
Many of Yemen's current woes stem from a nationwide economic crisis, which is placing acute pressure on the state budget and informal patronage networks.
Revenue from the export of crude oil fell 75% in the first quarter of 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, in response to falling global oil prices and declining production inside Yemen.
Even if President Saleh can defuse Yemen's current political tensions, the country's long-term economic prospects look increasingly uncertain.

Three killed as police disperse south Yemen protest
Thu May 21, 2009 9:17am EDT

ADEN, Yemen, May 21 (Reuters) - Three people were killed as a result of clashes on Thursday between Yemeni police and protesters marking the day when south Yemen's ****** declared a breakaway state 15 years ago, residents and witnesses said.

They said one man was killed in the clashes and two others died in hospitals from wounds sustained during the clashes in a suburb of the southern city of Aden.

People in the south, home to most of Yemen's oil facilities, have long complained that northerners have abused a unity agreement to grab their resources and discriminate against them.

Ali Abdullah Saleh took power in former North Yemen in 1978 and has been president since union with the south in 1990. He fought a brief war in 1994 against southern separatists after their ****** Ali Salem al-Beidh declared an end to the union.

Earlier this month, Saleh called on Yemenis to hold a dialogue to maintain national unity following a week of clashes in the south between the police and locals.

The poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula is trying to shake off an image of violence and lawlessness to promote tourism and foreign investment. It is battling al Qaeda, calls for secession in the south and Shi'ite rebels in the north.

"A man was shot dead next to me," one witness told Reuters, referring to the protest at a square in the Sheikh Othman suburb of Aden, the former capital of South Yemen.

Witnesses said several people were also wounded in clashes with the police who used teargas to disperse protesters.

Police and army forces banned gatherings in the area after dispersing the protest at the square where southern political figures were expected to address demonstrators, witnesses said.

Residents said the situation calmed down in the city after sporadic gunfire in the morning. Scores were arrested they said.

Demonstrations over army pensions turned violent in Aden in 2007 and job protests in the south degenerated into riots last year. Some southern ******s have openly called for secession. [ID:nL5593930]

Yemeni president urges dialogue after deadly clashes
By Hammoud Mounassar May 21, 2009
SANAA (AFP) — Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh called on Thursday for national dialogue after deadly clashes erupted in the south, just as the country celebrated the anniversary of the union between north and south.
"(I call on) all political groups and non-governmental organisations on the national Yemeni scene (to join) the national dialogue as it is the ideal means to solve issues that are important to the nation," Saleh said in a televised speech to mark 19 years since unification.
But as the government put on a massive show of force, with a parade of 30,000 men and a cavalcade of military hardware, deadly clashes erupted in the port city of Aden in the south, where separatist sentiment still runs deep.
Three people were killed and 30 wounded when police opened fire to disperse a 3,000 strong rally in Aden and 120 people were also arrested.
Thursday's events highlighted the explosive mood in the south, where living conditions are far worse than in the rest of the country, one of the poorest in the world.
A total of 11 people, including four soldiers, have now been killed since unrest erupted in late April.
Saleh blamed "outlaws" for the violence which he said aimed "to hit at the nation and its safety and to stir unrest".
"Unity is deep-seated like mountains and is here to stay," he said. "Those (calling for secession)... will not defeat the nation and will fail as they have failed before."
North and South Yemen were unified on May 22, 1990, but the commemoration took place a day early as the actual anniversary falls on Friday, the Muslim holy day.
Saleh has previously warned against the risk of Yemen breaking up into "several entities" amid trouble in the south over the past year after an attempt at secession in 1994 was crushed by the northern army, supported by Islamist militants back from Afghanistan.
Saleh's government also faces the risk of a renewed Shiite rebellion in the north, and the "show of might" in Sanaa by was intended as a clear message to the government's enemies, a diplomat told AFP.
"The message has been sent," the diplomat said.
The troops in Sanaa, mainly from the elite republican guards, special forces and the first armoured division, paraded past Saleh, who sat behind a bullet-proof glass wall, and an audience of diplomats and thousands of Yemenis.
Military equipment on show in the hour-long procession was mainly Russian manufactured, including tanks and fighter planes.
Established in 1967 after the departure of the British, South Yemen merged in 1990 with the north, led since 1978 by Saleh, who then became the president of the new republic.
The south's four million people are vastly outnumbered by the north's 20 million and southerners complain of jobs and land being reserved for the northerners.
Anger has burst out again in the past few months as the economic crisis had started to have an impact.
Protests against the north have been spearheaded by the Southern Movement, a loose organisation of groups opposed to the Sanaa government, but with no clear ******ship.
On Thursday, demonstrators were blocked by police firing live bullets and tear gas as they tried to go into Aden city to protest against worsening living conditions.
Saleh said in his speech that the government plans to reform the constitution to develop the political and the electoral system, grant wider powers to provincial rule and attract investment into the country, where oil production has been dwindling.

Yemeni police forces crack down on protesters in Aden killing three

Sanaa, 21 May – While in the Yemeni capital celebrations marking the 19th anniversary of national unification were under way, in Aden police forces cracked down on demonstrators chanting anti-unity slogans. Three demonstrators were killed and twenty injured, while an unknown number of people were arrested. The protest rallies in Aden were staged at the end of a two-days conference, organized by an alliance of opposition parties calling for "National Consultations to achieve National Partnership to Protect Unity and Build a Modern State".
Hamid al-Ahmar,chairman of the supreme committee, which had organized the conference, commented the lavish celebrations in Sanaa: "We should celebrate with a development parade not a military parade, we are not at war with anyone, we should celebrate a secure and stable Yemen that respects others and that is respected by all". Al-Ahmar called for the safe return from exile and reintegration into the national political dialogue of such prominent ******s of the south as Ali Salem, Ali Nasser, Haidar al-Attas. Tareq al-Fadhli, al-Khubaji and al-Shanfara, reminding that “only then will we celebrate unity”.

Yemeni president: Secessionists will fail – Summary
Thu, 21 May 2009 22:35:38 GMT

Sana'a, Yemen ([فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات])
[/URL]
- Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh said Thursday that that secessionist groups in the south of the country would fail in their attempt to "turn back the wheel of history.""I want to reassure you all that there is nothing to concern about the nation and its safety, and that the unity is solid and stable like the mountains," Saleh said in a televised speech marking the 19th anniversary of the reunification of south and north Yemen.
"The unity was established to sustain, because it is protected by God and all the honest and dedicated (Yemenis)."
Saleh was reacting to recent violent protests in southern provinces organized by secessionist groups.
Southern separatist groups, who want the south to secede again from the north, have been organizing protests since April 28 against what they claim as the central government's discriminatory policies against southerners.
"Those who are promoting little projects will fail like they did in the past," Saleh said.
On Thursday, two people were killed and around 20 others injured in clashes between police and anti-government protesters in the southern port city of Aden, medical sources said.
The clashes reportedly erupted after riot police tried to disperse rallies called by southern opposition groups in the Sheikh Othman neighbourhood.
The confrontations were the latest in a series of violent protests that engulfed cities in three southern provinces in the last few weeks, leaving dozens of wounded protesters and security force members.
Saleh said the secessionists "attempted to undermine the nation and its safety, stir up strife and spread the culture of hatred, animosity, sectarian strife and racism."
The Yemeni ****** said the plan to split Yemen is a "desperate attempt to turn back the wheel of history."
Saleh's speech coincided with a rare appearance by his former deputy, Ali Salim al-Beedh, who vowed in a press conference Thursday in Germany to lead efforts to split the south from the north.
Hours after al-Beedh made his remarks, Oman ([فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات]) announced that it had stripped him of his Omani nationality, Oman's state news agency reported. Oman granted al-Beedh citizenship after he fled Yemen following the defeat of southern forces in the 1994 civil war.
Al-Beedh, who served as president of the former south Yemen, was appointed vice president after north and south Yemen were merged on May 22, 1990.
In May 1994, al-Beedh and other breakaway politicians led a secession attempt in southern Yemen. The secession was rejected by the central government in Sana'a and went unrecognized by the international community.
The attempt was quashed by Saleh's forces after a 10-week conflict in which more than 10,000 people were killed.
Al-Beedh and 15 other top secessionist ******s fled to Arab and European countries ([فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات]). He was among four southern ******s who received death sentences in absentia by a state security court in 1997.
Most of the breakaway politicians who led the secession attempt were ******s of the communist Yemeni Socialist Party, which ruled Southern Yemen for nearly 20 years, and shared authority with Saleh's GPC party in the unity government after 1990.

Three killed in south Yemen protests
Thu, 21 May 2009 17:18:06 GMT

At least three people have been killed and 30 others wounded in a clash between government forces and protestors in Yemen's southern Aden city.

The violence erupted on the occasion of the 19th anniversary of the unification of north and south Yemen in May 1990.

Witnesses said police officers fired live rounds and teargas at nearly 3,000 demonstrators who were taking part in a rally in protest at the deteriorating living conditions in the south of the poorest Arab country.

One man was killed in the skirmishes and two others lost their lives in hospitals due to injuries they sustained during the conflicts, the witnesses explained.

People in the southern parts of oil-rich Yemen have long criticized the northerners over what they describe a 'void unity accord'.

They claim that northern Yemenis applied the agreement in order to exploit the resources in southern Yemen and to discriminate against local residents.

Former South Yemen was united in 1990 with former North Yemen to form the current republic. Ali Abdullah Saleh took power in former North Yemen in 1978.

The Yemeni president fought a brief war in 1994 against southern separatists after their ******, Ali Salem al-Beidh, called unification 'absurd' and announced a halt to the union.

The Yemeni government is doing its utmost to shed its insurgency-scarred image in an attempt to bring more tourists and foreign investors into the country and boost its international prestige.

In line with its quest for more tourism, Sana'a clamps down on rebels and continues to battle militants active mostly in the south.

Two people killed as police clash with protesters in southern YemenMay 21, 2009, 10:53 GMT

Sana'a, Yemen - Two people were killed and around 20 others injured in clashes between police and anti-government protesters in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden on Thursday, medical sources said.
The sources in two Aden hospitals told the German Press Agency dpa that two people died in hospital of bullet injuries, and 19 others were still being treated.
The clashes erupted after anti-riot police tried to disperse demonstrations in the Sheikh Othman neighbourhood called by southern opposition groups to mark the 19th anniversary of the reunification between north and south Yemen.
Witnesses said police opened fire in the air and used tear gas to disperse the protesters.
The confrontations were the latest in a series of violent protests that engulfed cities in three southern provinces in the past few weeks, leaving dozens of wounded protesters and security force members.
Authorities on Wednesday said they would prevent any unauthorized protests during the country's celebrations of the unity day.
Southern separatist groups, that want the south to secede from the north, have been organizing protests since April 28 against what they claim as the central government's discriminatory policies against southerners.
North and South Yemen were united on May 22, 1990. In 1994, southern ******s announced the secession of the south and battled northern forces led by President Ali Abdullah Saleh for 10 weeks in a civil war that ended in their defeat.
The violence highlights the increasing discontent by the southerners and tensions between southern and northern Yemen, 15 years after the civil war.

Yemen denies reports of deadly clashes

updated 3:07 a.m. EDT, Fri May 22, 2009

(CNN) -- Yemen's state-run news agency denied reports that clashes between police and anti-government demonstrators left three people dead and 25 others injured in the southern port town of Aden.
"No clashes occurred between security forces and demonstrators in Aden," said Adnan al-Jefri, Aden's governor, according to SABA, the Yemen news agency. "The province issued earlier a decision to avoid any clashes with demonstrators and not to give opportunity to those who stand behind unrest."
However, the ruling party newspaper, Almotamar, citing the same official, reported the deaths Thursday of at least two people at the hands of "rogue elements."
Thousands of protesters staged a demonstration, according to media accounts, which was reportedly called by the anti-government Southern Movement. The group is demanding that the country's south secede.
Many Yemenis ([فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات]) who live in the country's oil-rich southern Hadrmout region have expressed frustration with north-dominated governments, saying they have not equitably distributed wealth from natural resources since reunification in 1990.
The independent Yemen Post reported that anti-riot police fired bullets and tear gas at protesters. More than 120 people were arrested in Thursday's demonstrations, the newspaper said.
The alleged clashes came on the 19th anniversary of the country's formation when the states of North and South Yemen united after signing a peace agreement. But in 1994, a short-lived civil war erupted when former southern Vice President Ali Salim al-Baid declared cessation.
The unrest also follows a speech given this week by al-Baid, who relaunched his political career 15 years after fleeing to Oman following the war. He has assumed ******ship of the Southern Movement and is again pushing for the south to split from the north, to become a socialist state.
Marking the reunification anniversary, President Ali Abdullah Saleh called for a responsible national dialogue to address all issues of concern to the country.
Saleh has been the head of state since the post was created in 1990 and is perceived by many Yemenis as a symbol of corruption.
Amnesty International has condemned his government's decision to blockade the offices of al-Ayyam newspaper in Aden and close the offices of six other newspapers.
The newspapers are accused by the government of expressing views favorable to southern secessionists in their coverage of recent protests.

No Clashes Between Citizens And Security: Governor

ADEN (Yemen), May 22 (Bernama)-- Some media outlets, led by al-Jazeerah Space Channel, escalate incidents and magnify them when they talk about killed and injured people in clashes between security forces and demonstrators here, said Aden Governor Adnan al-Jefri.

"No clashes occurred between security forces and demonstrators," Yemen news agency (Saba) quoted a speech by al-Jefri, which appeared in 26september.net. on Thursday.

"The country issued earlier a decision to avoid any clashes with demonstrators and not to give opportunity to those who stand behind unrest," al-Jefri said.

He indicated that some chaotic elements have conducted unrest and sabotage acts in al-Hashimi area Thursday. These acts wounded a number of citizens as these elements threw stones on them.

A citizen has been killed when armed persons of the demonstrators started shooting while they were grouping in a nearby building, stated al-Jefri. He affirmed that security forces have arrested a number of elements accused of agitating unrest and are interrogated to be presented to justice.

Oman 'punishes' Yemeni dissident

Aljazeera.net ¸ 22 May 2009

The Omani government has stripped an exiled former Yemeni vice-president of his citizenship for intervening in his home country's politics.
Ali Salem al-Beed, who fled from Yemen in 1994 after a civil war erupted there, lost his right to stay in the Sultanate of Oman on Friday.
He violated the conditions of his citizenship in calling on residents of south Yemen to fight for liberation, the Omani authorities said.
Al-Beed, whose attempt to secede from north failed in 1994, said in Germany on Friday that the international community should force the Yemeni government to withdraw its army from the south.
Old divisions
There were clashes in Yemen on Thursday over the country's 1990 unification - part of ongoing protests that have threatened to reopen the country's old north-south divide.
At least four people died in the violence, which broke out in the capital Aden a day before the anniversary of the union - one marked by unity celebrations, political speeches and military parades.
Dozens more people were wounded when police opened fire on the thousands of anti-government protesters.
A security official in Aden said police shot into the air to disperse the crowd, but did not confirm or deny any deaths or injuries.
He emphasised that the protest had not been officially approved.
The protests are reportedly being organised by the Southern Movement, a loose coalition of groups opposed to the government in Sanaa, the capital.
Protesters sang independence songs, highlighting the depth of separatist sentiment in the south where living conditions are worse than in the rest of the country.
But in his anniversary-day address, Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Yemeni president, gave warning that those who want to secede would fail as they did in 1994.
He said the country's unity was "solid and blamed "outlaws" for the violence, which he said aimed "to hit at the nation and its safety and to stir unrest".
Multiple threats
Saleh has cautioned in the past against the risk of Yemen splitting into "several entities".
In addition to the southern unrest, Yemen's government also faces the risk of a potential rebellion by Shia Zaidi Muslims living in the north.
Saleh announced during his speech that his government had plans to change the constitution and develop the political and electoral system so as to grant more power to provincial rule in an effort to attract investment.
Southern Yemen is home to four million people, whereas the north's population is more than 20 million.
For decades southerners have complained of jobs and land being reserved for the northerners.

Oman strips Yemeni dissident of citizenship

Associated Press , 2009-05-22 03:36 PM




The Omani government has stripped the citizenship it granted a Yemeni dissident who fled to the country after sparking a civil war at home in 1994.
The government said Friday that Ali Salem al-Beidh breached the conditions of his citizenship by returning to politics.
Al-Beidh sparked a civil war in Yemen in 1994 when he declared the south independent. The Yemeni government put down the movement, but Al-Beidh, who was Yemen's vice president in 1994, said Thursday that southerners should continue the fight.
Four Yemenis were killed Thursday when police reportedly opened fire during a demonstration of anti-government protesters in the southern port of Aden.

من القومية إلى الاشتراكية ومن التشطير إلى الوحدة فالإنفصال
علي سالم البيض.. انقلابات في الفكر والسياسة




المصدر أونلاين ـ الجزيرة نت


تترجم حياة علي سالم البيض الممتدة حالة من التقلب من القومية العربية إلى الاشتراكية العلمية ومن التشطير إلى الوحدة فالعودة للمطالبة بالانفصال.


الزعيم اليمني الجنوبي من مواليد العام 1939 في قرية معبر مديرية "الريدة, وقصيعر" بمحافظة حضرموت، تلقى تعليمه الابتدائي والمتوسط فيها.


انتمى مبكرا إلى حركة القوميين العرب وكان من الشخصيات الأساسية في تنظيم الجبهة القومية وتولى قيادة العمل العسكري في المنطقة الشرقية -حضرموت والمهرة- ضد الاحتلال البريطاني.


تلقى عددا من الدورات العسكرية في القاهرة في النصف الأول من ستينيات القرن الماضي، وكان له موقف معارض بشدة ضد دمج حركات تحرير اليمن الجنوبي، وأعلن انسحابه من تنظيم الجبهة القومية وشكل تنظيما بديلا أسماه "الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير حضرموت".


ظل يمثل الخط اليساري المتشدد في الجبهة القومية، وأسهم بقوة في إحداث الانقلاب الفكري في المؤتمر الرابع للجبهة القومية بزنجبار (تنزانيا) في العام 1968 وكان عضوا للقيادة العامة للجبهة القومية وشغل موقع نائب عن شؤون الجيش والأمن فيما كان يسمى بالحكومة المؤقتة قبل الاستقلال.

مناصب
تولى منصب وزير الدفاع في أول حكومة دولة الاستقلال باليمن الجنوبي آنذاك حتى العام 1966. تقلد أكثر من منصب حكومي في مرحلة ما بعد حركة 22 يونيو/ حزيران 1969 إثر الإطاحة بقحطان الشعبي.
ظل عضوا للمكتب السياسي للجبهة القومية في المؤتمر الخامس والسادس والمؤتمر التوحيدي الأول للحزب الاشتراكي اليمني.


جرد من مناصبه الحزبية والحكومية في عهد عبد الفتاح إسماعيل في 1979-1980 لخرقه للوائح الحزبية وقانون الأحوال الشخصية بسبب اقترانه بزوجة ثانية مخالفا قانون الأسرة الذي لا يجيز الزواج بثانية دون وجود عذر مقنع.


عاد إلى واجهة الحياة السياسية في حكومة علي ناصر محمد وتولى وزارة الحكم المحلي.
وأسهم بفعالية في صراعات الأجنحة والمحاور داخل الحزب الاشتراكي الحاكم حينذاك في اليمن الجنوبية.


في أحداث 13 يناير/ كانون الثاني 1986 كان من الشخصيات التي أيدت مجموعة عبد الفتاح إسماعيل وعلي عنتر، ونجا من الموت بأعجوبة صبيحة 13 يناير/ كانون الثاني.
تولى منصب الأمين العام للحزب الاشتراكي اليمني عقب تلك الأحداث الدموية.



وحدة وانفصال
وقع في 30 نوفمبر/ تشرين الثاني 1989 مع رئيس اليمن الشمالي آنذاك علي عبد الله صالح على اتفاقية الوحدة.
تولى بإعلان الجمهورية اليمنية منصب نائب رئيس مجلس الرئاسة إضافة إلى موقع الأمين عام للحزب الاشتراكي اليمني حتى مايو/ أيار 1994.


شغل في 21 مايو/ أيار 1994 حتى سابع يوليو/ تموز من نفس العام منصب رئيس جمهورية اليمن الديمقراطية المعلنة من جانب واحد لمدة لم تتجاوز الشهر تقريبا.


صدر عليه حكم غيابي بالإعدام بتهمة الخيانة العظمى وأعقبه عفو رئاسي بعد قرابة عقد.


استقر في سلطنة عمان منذ خروجه من بلده اليمن في حرب صيف 1994 بعد حصوله على اللجوء السياسي.
وفي 22 مايو/ أيار 2009 توجه إلى النمسا، حيث خرج إلى العلن لأول مرة منذ 15 عاما، ودعا في مؤتمر صحفي في مدينة ليستبو إلى انفصال جنوب اليمن.
