As stated in the National Charter for the Creation of a New State, which was signed following a consultative meeting with the participation of 330 representatives of parties, movements, trade unions, civil society organizations, national leaders and spiritual South Yemenis, it will be “ a democratic Arab and Muslim federal civil state with sovereignty”. At the same time, the regions are guaranteed the right to local autonomy with all powers “without the hegemony of the central government”.
As experts point out, the government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh has been unable to cope with the integration of the economic systems of the north and the south and to resolve the consequences of the long-running conflict between the Arab Republic of Yemen and the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen, from which the Republic of Yemen was formed in 1990.
