Yemen Acting President Hadi Ignores GCC proposal and seeks new dialogue
[Yemen Post] While millions feel that Yemen can not stand another week of the ongoing catastrophic crisis, Yemen acting president Abdu Rabu Hadi hinted that transfer of power is far from happening and wants to start from step one again calling for dialogue. Hadi said that the UN has come up with a proposal that calls for all political factions in Yemen sit in one round table. Hadi said that he met with a UN representative last week and was informed that the UN is working on a proposal that would involve all powers. Considered a blow to power transition in Yemen, Hadi said that President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... would not step down from power until a new president is elected. "Saleh still has three million supporters in Yemen and that is why he remains Yemen's president. Saleh is ready to conduct early elections to rid the country from more crises." The acting president said that no solution can take place without President Saleh calling him a main part of the solution to Yemen's problems. Posted by: Fred 2011-07-02 |
