Dialogue committee elects head

13/5/2012 -


Alsahwah.net-Yemen's dialogue liaison committee has elected Abdul-Karim Al-Iriany as a head of the committee formed by President Abdu Rabo Mansour Hadi and tasked to contact Yemen's different parties and factions with the aim of preparing to an inclusive national dialogue conference.

The eight-member committee elected Yaseen Saeed Noman as deputy head of the committee and Nadia Al-Saqaf as a spokesman of the committee.

In a meeting held on Sunday, the committee determined the factions that it will contact them.

Hadi discussed on Saturday with the committee the forms of its tasks that include liaison with all Yemeni political, cultural and social forces that did not sign on the GCC-crafted power transfer deal.

The national dialogue is designed to settle disputes between Yemeni political factions under the supervision of Hadi, in accordance with the deal that eased former president Ali Abdullah Saleh out of power in February after one-year deadly protests.
