With his sudden departure, on the morning of Monday, November 15, 2021 AD, in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, the General People’s Congress Party in Yemen has lost one of its flamboyant pillars of activity, vitality and organizational effectiveness, and what can be called the third of three who devote themselves to political and organizational work (outside power) even for limited varying periods After the president of the party, Ali Abdullah Saleh, relinquished power under the Gulf initiative in November 2011, and the then-Assistant Secretary-General of the party, Aref Al-Zoka, renounced government positions and devoted himself to political and organizational work.
With high dynamism and remarkable political intelligence, the youngest of the assistant secretaries-general, Yasser Al-Awadi, worked with the leaders of his party (Saleh and Aref) in remarkable harmony during the last ten years, specifically the period after the local and presidential elections in 2006. They were brought together by many consensual visions, including their appreciation for the plans of political Islam groups in both parts. (The Brotherhood - Al-Houthi), and their early prediction of the failure of these groups to manage the affairs of the state, and the dangers of fragmenting the national state at the expense of feeding divisions and group conflicts and fueling the abhorrent sectarian, regional and regional strife.
At the height of the storm of what was known as the Arab Spring at the beginning of 2011 AD, and in light of the heightened intensity of the discourse of violence, hatred, incitement and justification for violence at that stage, the conference leader, Yasser Al-Awadi, opened many channels of communication and communication with the partners of political life, and considered his house council in Sana’a as a political forum for various forces and intellectual currents and politics, in the hope of easing the tension and trying to bring the views closer, and upholding the values of dialogue, peace, democracy and the peaceful transfer of power.
In addition to his scientific qualification - Bachelor of Political Science, Higher Diploma in International Law and Public Relations - Yasser Al-Awadi immersed himself in political and public work on the ground, as he engaged in a series of negotiations within the conference team and its allies with the Joint Meeting Parties and their partners during the period from 2007 to late 2010, and represented the conference in The 2013 National Dialogue Conference, and in the post-March 2015 period, Al-Awadi actively participated in the consultations in Kuwait, Geneva, as part of the conference team.

A year earlier, the politician Al-Awadi spoke courageously about “the explosive issues in the National Dialogue Conference, refusing to tear the nation apart and deport the crises in order to find new authoritarian entities.
Al-Awadi recorded exciting and loud unilateral opposition positions at the meeting tables of his party bodies, but he remained an example of organizational commitment to what the conference bodies decided, and he was quoted in late 2018 AD as “organically with the rules and leaders of the conference as they decide, according to the conference system and regulations and the approach of its leader and secretary general.”
Following the uprising of December 2, 2017, in which President Saleh and the Secretary-General of the party, Aref Al-Zoka, were killed, he blessed the appointments approved by the party’s permanent committee at its session in Sana’a in May 2019, considering that these decisions “concluded important parts of the conference and left the door ajar in front of the other parts and that they delivered arteries and did not Cut the veins."

Yasser Al-Awadi was appointed Minister of Planning and Development within his party’s share of government seats after the formation of the (Supreme Political Council 2017) in Sana’a between his party and the Houthis, but he refused the position and the seat remained vacant until the conference replaced him with another minister, and in June 2020 he led an armed tribal uprising against the Houthi militias in Radman District, Al Bayda Governorate.
