Desperate Regime

A guest post (meaning I didnt write it) by Abu Yemen:

The Yemeni dictator continues to turn Yemen into a failed state despite all free advice given to him by honest citizens and overseas friends. President Ali Abdullah Saleh is turning a deaf ear to all sensible opinions expressed to him by politicians, scholars, and experienced clergy. The recent tour he made to Russia and Ukraine in order to acquire huge quantities of sophisticated weapons worth over 2 billion US Dollars is another example of his irresponsibility, ignorance, and betrayal of constitutional obligations. According to reliable sources in Yemen, this little dictator has indulged in many constitutional violations, totally disregarded human rights, and has abandoned democratic principles. Further, the President of Yemen is involved in ignition of civil wars and sponsors a crude policy of creating disputes, tribal and political, amongst the entire population in Yemen. Today the deplorable President of Yemen has gone too far in misrepresenting the aspirations of the Yemeni people over the last 30 years. During this time, he misled public opinion in Yemen as well as many friendly governments in the Arab world, Europe, US, and Canada. In this regard, he pretended on one hand to play the role of cooperating in the joint efforts to curtail and defeat international terrorism, and on the other hand, he maintained discrete arrangements with terrorists to survive and use them to exterminate his political opponents.

Consequently, Yemen has become a safe haven for such terrorist elements. These terrorist elements represent a serious threat to the security and stability of the entire region to the extent that genuine interests of all are at risk. It is therefore time for all concerned to consider stepping forward and extending all necessary efforts to assist the masses of Southern Yemenis seeking to abandon the political unity between the two Yemens after the dictator betrayed the unity agreement concluded 20 years ago. Your attention is equally invited to a possible military confrontation currently under preparation by the dictator and his men against the Hawtis in Saada who enjoy the support of tribes all over the province, and the support of those in the provinces of Al Jawf, Ma’rib, and Harf Sufyan. Yemen has reached the point of disintegration and every self-respecting citizen in Yemen is praying for safety from becoming the next Somalia.

Being an old citizen of the South Arabian under the English occupation, I would love to put my comments on whats happening in this little Dictator country. Problem there is the President of Yemen, he is uneducated ignorant person who carries a great hate to the Southern people. He is humiliating those people of the South in which he think that they have educated their people to a highest rank both under the British colonized and later on under the communist rulers.
The man is in sane, he is sabotaging all the cities of Southern Yemen under the name of war against terror, The biggest terror is his own regim, he is giving away people properties to his admirers from the north.
The election was to take place in the very near future, but knowing that the southern people are against it he extended that for another 2 years , so that he can crush the the other part who are against him. The world is just standing there watching a ONE man Army power crushing educated peace loving and wise people, who are seeking a better future for their own country. Wonder when the world will go against this man and crush him and his tripe and all other tribes that exist in the Area. Under the British, there were no weapon to be carried of no other people than the Army men at work, There were no tribes allowed to be there, all people were equals no matter where they came from, Oh yes I can just write and write and keep on writing with out end. Visiting my country today is just like visiting a country that have been through a never ending wars. Who to blame for that…. Well Ask Ali Abdullah Saleh the big thief of Yemen.

Oh yes one more thing I have forgot to put down for you in here. Looking at the world statistics, There are around a 100 new born kids that dies every single day because of health care needs in Yemen, The country imports Guns ammunition Police dogs Apaches copters and all that but forgot to help their own people in decent living, Only at the north, people there can afford everything…. Why is that??? wonder who is going to do some thing about this in a peaceful way, the country had enough wars
