Its not a campaign
Just spending millions of dollars right before the election, nice to have that old public budget to buy votes with. Ali Saleh continues his tour:

Yemeni Unity.

How irresponsible and inept. Roads and employment opportunites are essential but where was all this money before, and how much of it is going to medical, education and water services, which are less visable, don’t require a cornerstone, but are very important to the lives of the citizens.
