Ongoing problems throughout a large number of governorates has influenced the National Solidarity Council to come up with strategies that could help the country escape the dangers it is confronted with. Over the last year, Yemen has by far seen some of its worst protests and chaos in more than a decade and most coming through southern governorates influence.

According to the council's report, the government has not done a good job in solving the problems that erupted after the unity, and in the same time did not stop other problems from occurring. This includes army officials and soldiers in the south who were forced to leave the army and have their salaries cut, as well as retired generals from the south who has not received their retirement plan. Other issues that made the crisis bigger concerning the south was the point that the government did not respect the land ownership of locals in the south, as large portions of land was taken from their southern owners by the government and given to northern officials or businessmen.

On how to solve the current crisis in Yemen, the council mentioned numerous points and steps for the government to follow. The first point in the report stressed that the government should set free all political and opinion detainees in Yemeni prisons, and give all of them a fair trial instead of being imprisoned without a court order. Another point that was mentioned in the report was that the government must remove all newly established military presence in areas where chaos erupted over the last year. This will ease tension as locals in those areas currently feel that the army is there to hurt them instead of helping them.

Also, the report demanded the government to return all previous soldiers and officials who were kicked out of the military after the 1994 war, saying that these people are Yemeni and have the right to serve their country, and old problems should be forgotten for the sake of the nation.

In their conference, which was attended by dozens of media outlets, the National Security Council (NSC) came up with suggestions, but did not mention the negative aspects of the government. “We were expecting your council to not only bring up suggestions, but also to show the mistakes the government have done in order for the government to learn from its mistakes,” said Al-Jazeera correspondent in Yemen Ahmad Al-Shalafi. However, organizers of the conference stressed that their duty was not to show faults and mistakes from any side, but rather to give the solutions out of the current crisis.

The council called on sides, ruling party and opposition represented in the Joint Meeting Party to sit and negotiate their problems instead of escalating them and putting more harm to the country.

From a political point of view, the council asked the government not to be biased towards locals from specific governorates and not others, saying that anyone who applies for a government position or to enter the military should be treated equally, not looking from which part of the country he is from.

Concerning the local council elections, the report mentioned that it was a good first step in giving the people a stronger voice, however, a real form of democracy needs to be witnessed as the power given in the governors election was limited. It demanded that all local authorities including governors should be chosen by the people and not the local councils to insure a stronger practice of democracy in the country.
