- <p> To the dismay of neighboring Saudi Arabia's conservative
- monarchy, the Red Sea republic of Yemen has taken a first step
- from one-man rule toward multiparty democracy. The General
- People's Congress Party, which governed North Yemen before its
- 1990 merger with the Marxist South, won a plurality of the 301
- parliamentary seats. But in a bid to curb lawlessness and
- inflation, President Ali Abdullah Saleh promises a coalition
- government that will include the southern Yemen socialist and
- fundamentalist parties.
