  • According to reports, Yemen’s President Abdrabu Mansour Hadi issued the republican decree No 30 for 2012 on July 14, 2012 forming a technical committee to prepare for a comprehensive national dialogue. The move came after more than a month of liaisoning with the groups mentioned in a power-transfer deal and its UN-sponsored implementation mechanism. The deal and its mechanism called for holding the dialogue in early stages of the second transition period, which started after electing the president in late February. The committee comprised of 25 members from all concerned groups specified by the deal and its responsibility is to prepare for the dialogue, scheduled to take place in November this year. According to the decree, the committee is not authorized to assume acts related to the ideas of the dialogue and its outcomes. The groups to participate in the dialogue are: the national coalition (the General People's Congress and its allies), the national council (the Joint Meeting Parties and its allies), other active political parties and forces, the youth movements, the Southern Movement, Harak, the Shiite Houthi Group, SCOs and the women. The committee will start its job in ten days since its formation, with the first step expected to be electing its head, first and second deputies and a reporter. 1
