Yemen: No crisis with Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia-Yemen, Politics, 10/17/2005
Sanaa denied on Sunday that a crisis is looming with Saudi Arabia, on the background of the request it asked Riyadh to hand over its former foreign minister Abdullah al-Asnaj.
A source at the Yemeni foreign ministry told "September 26" paper, which is close to the Presidential palace, an official request was given to Saudi Arabia to "hand over al-Asnaj who has been conducting hostile practices against Yemen and is damaging the warm and remarkable brotherly relations between the two countries."
Abdullah al-Asnaj has recently disclosed moves to form an opposition Yemeni coalition abroad that precedes the Yemeni Presidential elections to be held in September, 2006, calling for disseminating democracy without militancy. Al-Asnaj had left Yemen to Saudi Arabia in the 1990s after he was pardoned a death penalty under treason charges.
