SUBJECT: PLACEMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS DAY OP-ED

1. Post has placed A/S Lowenkron's op-ed on
International Human Rights day, entitled "Helping
the Impossible Become the Inevitable," in Arabic
and English in the media outlets below. The
Arabic translation was done by Public Affairs
Section personnel at post.

-- Al-Sahwa.Net (news website of primary
opposition Islah Party), December 11 (Arabic
version)
-- Al-Motamar.Net (news website of the ruling
General People's Congress Party), December 11
(Arabic and English versions)
-- Raynews.Net (news website of liberal opposition
Rabita Party), December 11 (Arabic and English
versions)
-- NewsYemen.Net (widely-read independent news
site), December 14 (Arabic and English versions)
-- The Yemen Times (bi-weekly independent English
language newspaper), December 15 print edition
(English version)

2. Post appreciates the opportunity to distribute
and place this and similar opinion columns in the
Yemeni media. For future such offerings, post
offers two recommendations. First, post suggests
that op-eds be translated in Washington, at least
into major world languages, to avoid duplicative
effort (and to ensure consistency in language).
Second, post suggests that op-ed authors ensure
that a recent photograph is available on the State
Intranet or at the Operations Center to
accommodate last-minute requests.
