Cairo (Debriefer) - The formation of Yemen's new government under the Riyadh Agreement is not a decision to be made by Yemeni parties, Yemeni former foreign minister tweeted on Wednesday, as political parties', but not Yemeni people's, interests are behind the delay of announcing the government.
"If only the delayed formation of government in Riyadh was because the Yemeni parties trying to agree on a political program and priorities to save the Yemeni people," Abu-Bakr al-Qurbi added.
However, he said the "delay proved to be a result from a dispute over quota in order to gain interests, although they know that the decision is eventually not in their hands."
He hoped that if the situation is reconsidered with Yemen being placed first.
On 3 November, the Yemeni ex-minister doubted the upcoming government's ability to maintain the war-torn country's sovereignty and solve its crises.
"The formation of the government ignored two facts," Dr. said then. First, its parties have not agreed to this government's national program to maintain Yemen's sovereignty and unity and to solve its economic and humanitarian crises.
The second fact is the lack of an accord on criteria of selecting the ministers so as to help enable the government to fulfill its program away from any effects of party-based interests and foreign agendas, he added.
