“Kuwait has not shut down Yemeni Suhail TV”
Well thats good. I’ll go back and update the prior post also. Odd that the Yemeni government was praising Kuwait’s decision, well not that odd.
News Yemen: A diplomat source in the Kuwaiti embassy in Yemen denied press reports that the Kuwaiti government had shut down the Yemeni Suhail TV.
The Kuwaiti diplomat said in an interview with Anneda independent newspaper that Kuwait has not issued a license to Suhail TV to broadcast from Kuwait and has not banned it.
Local press reported last week that the Kuwaiti authorities had banned Suhail to broadcast from Kuwait.
“We welcome this positive decision by the Kuwaiti authorities as Suhail TV’s programs incite sedition in the country,” media cited an unidentified Yemeni official as saying.
Minister of Information, who is also the spokesman of the government, praised the Kuwaiti decision and relations between the two countries.
Suhail TV, which is owned by Hamdan al-Ahmar, brother of well-known opponent Hamid al-Ahmar, denied any political involvement and affiliation with any political organizations.
A source in Suhail TV said it would resume broadcasting from a western country.
