[Yemen Post] Yemen's Foreign Minister Abu Bakr Al-Qirbi has affirmed that al-Qaeda will not be engaged in any dialogue but after it renounces violence. In an interview with the Kuwaiti Alsyasya Newspaper, he asserted that the Yemeni government has no negotiations with al-Qaeda, pointing out that the government follows up the case of the Saudi diplomat, Abdullah Al-Khalidi.
He cited that Yemen needs urgent aids and international support in this critical transitional stage, pointing out that the Yemeni army could dislodge al-Qaeda Death Eaters from Abyan
...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an
Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues...
and only some elements are still hidden.
Yemen is preparing to hold an inclusive dialogue conference in next October for which all factions were called to participate.
He indicated that all Yemeni factions expressed its acceptance to participate in the national dialogue conference except the former president Ali Salem Al-Beedh.
He admitted that US drones are used in attacking al-Qaeda strongholds when the Yemeni army fails to reach them, stressing that al-Qaeda Death Eaters will not achieve any success in Yemen.
"They only shed blood in Iraq, Pakistain and Somali, and achieve no victories in these states" he added.
