Earlier this week, Sheikh Hamid bin Abdullah al-Ahmar met President Ali Nasser Mohammed in Damascus confirming that the visit was his own initiative in an effort to discuss with President Ali Nasser Mohammed the ways for contributing to take Yemen out of the current crises, and preserving Yemen's entity, achievements and unity. Al-Ahmar expressed his satisfaction with Ali Nasser's fixed and well-known attitude towards Yemen's unity that showes great readiness to continue and intensify his efforts in order to maintain Yemen's stability, unity and integrity.
The Secretary of the Preparatory Committee for the National Dialogue confirmed in a statement having many views in common with Ali Nasser, including being very keen on Yemen unity, believing that the authority in Yemen is responsible for the current critical situation, and that a real change is needed for Yemen to be brought out of the crisis and for safe and prosperous future. He added that it is time for those who harmed Yemen to pay for it , and that Yemen is no longer able to bear the power's mistakes that led to this complex and dangerous situation, explaining that repression and confiscation rights is not the way to counter any separatist calls, and that justice, bringing rights back to their owners, and addressing the real reasons that made people, who earlier took up arms to defend unit, today call for secession adding that misusing power and using it to penetrate the Constitution and breaking the law every day is the key reason of any behavior against the Constitution or the law by individuals or groups.
On the same regard, Al-Ahmar said that what authorities recently did, charging people of acting against national unity, taking advantage of having a complete control on the media, in addition to being able to breach the Constitution and the law to confiscate the freedom of opinion and insulting national figures, pointing out to Mohammed Salem Basendwah, all this shows nothing but being bankrupt which has become clear to all and everyone.

Al-Ahmar was also quoted as saying that the storm that the authority made through media outlets might be an attempt to justify a separatist step by the authority itself to ensure keeping power, even if it sacrificed Yemen's entity, security and integrity explaining that recent words and actions by the authority proved that its only aim is keeping power and not the country, which justifies its inability to believe that still there are people whose only aim is just the people and the country.
