A trap to re- pay Custom Clearance

A dangerous precedent
In a letter to the coup authorities in Sana'a, the ambassador at the Foreign Ministry in Yemen, Hisham Yahya Zaid al-Radi said that the re-imposing fees on cars that were previously paid at the Customs ports in the Southern provinces of Yemen. "This procedure represents a dangerous precedent in flagrant violation of the Constitution of the Unity of Republic of Yemen; moreover, it enshrines the concept of Separation, reinforces the idea of Division and encourages advocates of ''Disengagement" within a single State.
