National Democratic Front (Yemen)

The National Democratic Front, also known as the Jabha, was a leftist opposition militant group in Yemen Arab Republic. It founded as an umbrella of various opposition movements in North Yemen on February 2, 1976, in Sana'a. The five founding organisations of NDF were the Revolutionary Democratic Party of Yemen, Organisation of Yemeni Revolutionary Resistors, the Labour Party, the Popular Vanguard and the Popular Democratic Union.

As the National Democratic Front Party
The remnants of the party became known as the National Democratic Front Party (, Ḥizb al-Jabhat al-Wataniyah ad-Dīmuqrātiyah), which still operates and which participated among others in the 2003 Yemeni parliamentary election, where it failed to win a seat and got 0.12% of the vote. During the Yemeni Revolution, it issued a statement demanding elections to be held as planned on April 27, stressing its importance for political pluralism and the peaceful transfer of power. In September 2014, it signed a statement expressing support for the Houthi takeover in Yemen, which also underlines that this takeover would represent the people of Yemen and not only the Houthis. While two other center-left parties that initially supported the Houthis, Al-Ahrar Organization and the Yemeni Labour Party, later got into conflict with them, the National Democratic Front Party continued to support the Houthis over the years. On 19 April 2019, the new general secretary Nashwan Nusayr an-Nusayri called on the parties, forces and political organizations that oppose the "aggression", to continue their efforts and strengthen the unity of the "home front". Particularly, he criticized the "occupation" of the eastern governorates and Soqotra by "aggressor countries". On the other hand, he also stated support for a national dialogue to reach a "honorable and just" peace. == See also ==
