I see that two time South Yemen (PDRY) President Ali Nasir Muhammad is getting into the game. I had many hours of conversation with him at his exile home some years ago. His ambition to stage a comeback was undimmed by what some believed was the end forever of his Stalinist brand of rule. He told me that he was the only Yemeni leader who could find a way to bring all the parties together. He believed that if he was at the head of the table, South Yemeni leftist secularist could find common ground with tribal Zaydis. David Macknoreply@blogger.com
