Yemen's Local Authority Law broke down centralized government and forced locally elected district governments to exist. After the 2006 elections, future measures were put into action so that governors could now be elected directly. In May of 2008, governors were directly elected for the first time. Despite the measures that were taken, the General People's Congress continues to dominate local and district governments. In rural Yemen, direct state control is weak, and tribal confederations act as sub-states. ]]> 2019-03-20 03:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kelbur5759/xy5gfd9k831w/wish/343156442
