KUALA LUMPUR - SABA
The Yemeni Cultural Forum in Malaysia organized a political evening seminar on the pivotal role that Gamal Abdel Nasser’s Egypt played in supporting the Yemeni people and revolutions of 26 September and 14 October.

The seminar was organized on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the departure of President Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Yemeni people's commemoration of their two revolutions.

In the concert, Yemeni presidential advisor Abdul-Malik Al-Mikhlafi, gave a lecture in which he shed light on the role that Egypt played in supporting the Yemeni liberation movement from the early fifties up to the eruption of the September 26 and October 14 revolutions.

He pointed out that Egypt's decision to stand by Yemen did not come suddenly, but was part of the revolutionary orientation of Abdel Nasser.

Al-Mikhlafi pointed out that the Arab nationalist dimension in supporting the Yemenis to liberate from the priestly rule preceded the July Revolution in Egypt, especially the 48th Revolution in which the Iraqi leader Gamal Gamil and Algeria Al-Fadil Al-Wortlani participated in it.

He said that Abdel Nasser began to awaken Arab awareness in Yemen through the Voice of Arabs radio station, which then embraced Yemeni revolutionary leader Muhammad Mahmoud Al-Zubairi through a weekly program directed to the audience inside Yemen in 1953 AD at a time when the Yemeni people were captive to the heresies of the Imamite rulers.
