First: A Brief Historical Background On The Southern Issue The emergence of the southern issue goes back to the 22 May 1990, the date of declaring the merge unity between the Yemen Arab Republic (North) and Peoples Democratic Republic of Yemen (South). Substantially, Yemeni unity has failed, because the Northern regime aborted all the attempts to reform it or reach a compromise between the two sides. Accordingly, the Sanaa regime totally eliminated the unity project and replaced it with forced annexation of the south land and people by force arms, in a devastating (72) days war. This in turn, ended in the exclusion of the southern partner, and the displacement of its leadership who signed the unity treaty, and eventually expelled them outside the county. In addition, they were also referred to trial and were sentenced to death. Most of them still live overseas up to this moment, including three former southern presidents. This is in general the substance of the matter. Because the present is an extension to the past and it is actually based on it, a brief historical overview has to be given in order to understand the southern issue thoroughly based on the mentioned facts. #Oct14
