Mystery as Yemen editors resign

Two key figures at Yemen's al-Nass newspaper have resigned. Editor-in-chief Ali al-Jaradi and managing editor Abdul-Baset al-Qaidi announced their sudden departure after al-Jaradi had previously resigned from the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate. Though the men refused to clarify their reasons it is thought that they are concerned at threats to press freedom. Al-Nass was prevented last week from providing an SMS news service after failing to obtain a government licence. (Via Yemen Observer)
