The ministry is also preparing to develop the second Yemeni channel, in additions to the new channel, to concentrate on education, tourism, and youth issues, al-Lawzi said. “The government is seeking over the next year to open five local radio stations in the governorates of Sa’dah, Marib, Shabwa, and Soqatra in addition to Ibb Radio, which was opened last month,†he said. Many Yemeni journalists hope that the new law will give them more freedom to talk about the troubling problems of the state, such as corruption. Al-Lawzi’s comments come in the wake of weeks of journalists’ protests of the curtailing of SMS news services and the blocking of several news websites.
