Yemen Exploits Cartoon Controversy to Close the Yemen Observer
The Prime Minister of Yemen has revoked the license of the English language online and print newspaper, The Yemen Observer. Technically he doesnt have the authority to do that, but its Yemen. The despotic, corrupt, anti-democratic, terrorist supporting Yemeni regime finds it in its interests to discourage moderation. And further, it may be looking to shut down this English language source of information about Yemen. YO "I am very surprised by this development," Mohammed Al-Asadi, editor-in-chief of the Yemen Observer said. "They want to close the newspaper in response to our efforts and continuous calls for understanding, tolerance and accepting the apologies of the Danish people, officials, and editors. We have received dozens of apologies from Denmark. Here's their current ediltorial, "The Art of Losing Opportunities." This is an outragous abuse of power and manipulation of popular sentiment to target those advocating dialog. Posted by at February 9, 2006 10:31 AM
