The human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has highly commended Belqees TV’s staff for efficiency, expressing her gratitude to the channel members for their tireless efforts in improving the level of the performance. 

In a post shared on social media, Karman has said the TV-channel serves as a model for institutions, which Yemeni youth could establish and run effectively and sufficiently. 

"In terms of both form and content, Belqees has come to keep pace with the very large channels," she emphasized. 

It is worth mentioning that the Istanbul-based TV channel, which was launched in March 2015, on Sunday began with news bulletins around the clock. 

“Three more news bulletins have been added,” the director of the channel Ahmed Al Zurqah said. 

Having launched the live broadcast, Belqees has become the first Yemeni news channel broadcasting around the clock.
