YEMEN: SPECIAL ADVISER PRAISES WORK OF UN-BACKED DIALOGUE, URGES FINAL
AGREEMENTNew York, Sep 3 2013 7:00PMWith preparations under way for
a new constitution and a general election in Yemen, a senior United
Nations adviser is in the capital Sana'a working with all sides of a
national dialogue conference to finalize how the Government should be
structured and how to address the specific challenges linked to the
South.

Special Adviser Jamal Benomar today congratulated Yemenis for
conducting "the most genuine transparent and inclusive National
Dialogue the Arab region has ever witnessed."

Mr. Benomar, who along with his team of experts is advising the
Conference, urged all sides to cooperate on a final outcome document.
He met with President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and leaders of all
political parties on Sunday.

Since arriving last week, Mr. Benomar also met Prime Minister Mohamed
Salem Basendwa, Minister of Foreign Affairs Abou Bakr AlQirbi, in
addition to a wide range of leaders of politicians and civil society
organizations.

The latest round of UN-backed National Dialogue Conference includes
565 delegates representing a cross-section of Yemeni society. The
ongoing conference will feed into a constitution-making process and
pave the way for general elections in 2014. Preparations for the
electoral process are under way, including steps to create a new
biometric voter registry, with registration due to begin this month.

Among the major challenges before the Dialogue is the need to find a
consensual settlement to the question linked to southern separatists.

Briefing the Security Council in June, Mr. Benomar said there had been
a significant increase in the frequency and number of demonstrators in
the South in recent months as a result of "pent-up resentment at more
than two decades of unaddressed grievances and systematic
marginalization."

Mr. Benomar will brief the Security Council on his visit, including
recent political developments, on 27 September.

Prior, he is scheduled to participate in a ministerial-level 'Friends
of Yemen' meeting in New York on 25 September.

This will be the first meeting since the conference in London in
March, attended by 39 organizations and countries to discuss the
political, economic, security and humanitarian sectors in Yemen.

The country has been undergoing a democratic transition, with a
Government of National Unity, which came to power in an election in
February 2012 following protests that led to the resignation of former
President Ali Abdullah Saleh.Sep 3 2013 7:00PM
