Saudi- Yemeni talks concluded over border cement barrier

Saudi Arabian - Yemeni talks were completed in Riyadh, and aimed at settling the differences over a "barrier" Sanaa accuses the authorities in Riyadh of building it between the two states without issuing any official statement on that.

A Saudi source confined to saying that these talks which started on Monday in Jeddah to the west of Saudi Arabia were run in an ordinary way.

Sanaa accused Riyadh recently of building a security barrier on the border situated in an area open for grazing between citizens of the two countries, according to the text of Jeddah treaty for marking joint borders for 2000.

Building this barrier, which the Saudi sources say is almost similar to oil pipelines at a length of 42 Km to prevent the crossing of cars within Saudi efforts, is to fight entry of cross-border sneakers to Mecca.

Worthy mentioning that the Saudi borders guards arrest annually thousands of smugglers and persons why try to sneak into the Saudi lands, and confiscate large amounts of drugs, weapons and ammunition on the joint borders of the two states.
