“Thousands of people rallied in south Yemen on Sunday’s 19th anniversary of the civil war that was won by the north to demand secession for the south.  ‘No union and no federation — no to the occupation!’ the crowds chanted in the Hadramawt provincial capital of Mukalla.  They waved the flag of the former South Yemen and portraits of Hassan Baoum, head of the Southern Movement’s supreme council.  In a statement, the protest organisers reaffirmed their rejection of a UN-backed national dialogue under way in the capital Sanaa, which aims to draft a new constitution and prepare for elections in 2014, after a two-year transition led by President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi.”
