If Only
MUKALLA, Yemen, 3 June 2006 — Saudi Arabia and Yemen yesterday signed a landmark border agreement, opening a new era in their relations. The two countries also signed eight other accords to strengthen economic and investment cooperation.
Signing agreements is encouraging and helpful; but if only: Yemen can be accepted more by its immediate Arab neighbors. If only, we don't have to require visas just to cross the borders in to Arab neighboring countries. If only Yemenis can easily be allowed access to employment in our wealthier neighboring countries. These - would have been more helpful and meaningful.
Yemen, has only the seas and Arab countries along its borders; we can use the sea's rich resources to help us; and we are doing that. But we need our wealthier neighbors to assist us even more. All the leaders around know: Yemen's fate and theirs is inter-twined - now, just as always has been. To ignore Yemen, and not allow it within the Gulf countries organizations and bodies - is a big mistake. Yemen's right, and historic, place - is with its immediate Arab neighbors. Time.

By the way, I have tagged you so please visit my blog and then share a few facts about yourself!
All regions of the world are co-operating and merging: the best example being Europe; but many regions of the America's, Africa and Asia are doing that. We Arabs, as always - are being left behind!
Our only influence is oil and gas; if we don't use that wisely, our future is very bleak! Not only should each country make itself strong - economically, technologically, educationally and militarily; Arab countries should help each other to be strong too!
