Saleh order to compensate 300 southerners for lands

ADEN, Dec. 16 (Saba) – President Ali Abdullah Saleh has given orders to compensate 300 people in Aden for confiscating their plots of land, a move which comes amid solutions to the standing dilemma of properties 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. FRSaba
