Sana’a university students carry out five days marches, demanding raising the enrollment capacity.

Mohammed Al-Kabab, head of the Shoura Council’s political committee, opened the session, saying, “This youth council represents a very interesting initiative that deserves care and interest.”

He went on to say, “The YCC promotes a greater exchange of leadership experience between youth and political leaders from one generation to another. This generation’s problems are different from the past, particularly in terms of unemployment.” During the discussions, YCC members cited facts that demand the Yemeni government provide more jobs. For example, the Civil Service Ministry received 132,000 job applications in 2006, but only 8,000 jobs were available.
