President Ali Abdullah Saleh ordered to compensate 300 people in Aden for confiscating their plots of land, a move which comes amid solutions to the dilemma of real estates, alleged looted in the south, an official said on Wednesday.
Director General of the Land and Survey Authority in Yemen's business capital Sheikh Salim Ba Nafa'a said the president is very concerned with the 17-year standing issue of lands at the Hiswa area, ordering now to compensate those whose lands were confiscated under public urgency or due to other reasons.
The years-long problem is now resolved, he said, urging the compensated people to attend to the authority's compound to finalize compensation procedures.
The issue is deemed along with the one of retired military officers a roadblock to the stability in the south which saw much violence in recent years with protests that turned violent urging effective solutions to the people's right complains and better rights under the unity.
Protesters also chanted anti-unity and regime slogans amid cries of injustice, confiscating properties and unjustified crackdown.
