Yemeni-US cooperation to re-qualify Guantanamo returnees

SANA'A, Sep. 11 (Saba) - Yemen and US have made an agreement to
establish a center to re-qualify Yemeni returnees from Guantanamo
Camp.

Well-informed sources told the weekly 26 September that center to be
established soon by a US financing would receive the Yemeni
Guantanamo detainees and re-qualify them through holding technical
and vocational workshops and training courses to merging them into
the Yemeni society and acquiring them with the necessary skills to
be able to participate in society development programs.

The intellectual, cultural and psychological treatments will be
undertaken by the Yemeni side, according to the sources.

Yemen has presented a qualifying program to the returnees from
Guantanamo, which has been accepted by the US administration. This
acceptance contributed to overcoming the disagreements in the issue
of releasing Yemeni detainees in Guantanamo.

About 100 Yemeni detainees are in the Guantanamo camp. Yemen
government has demanded many times to be extradited.
