The prospect of the forthcoming elections in Yemen is showing little sign of bringing unity to the country.<br /><br />The vote, along with the departure of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, form part of a Gulf-brokered deal designed to end a year of political upheaval.<br /><br />But there are renewed calls for a separate state in the country's south. Flags of South Yemen have been flying everywhere in the southern port city of Aden, a symbol of the South Yemen republic that joined the North in 1990.<br /><br />These protesters say they lost everything when they joined the union - their lands confiscated, rights denied and oil revenues taken away by the former government.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra reports from Aden.
