Yemen: New Information Minister Makes Immediate Changes
[Yemen Post] Immediately after the new Yemen government was sworn in on Saturday, Minister of Information, Ali Amrani, told Abdu Ganadi, former government spokesperson not to talk on behalf of the new government.Critics say that Ganadi's main goal over the last year was to spread hatred among all factions in Yemen and this is why he had to be released. Ganadi was one of the strongest supporters of President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... and the most outspoken. Ali Amrani stressed that the new government is for all the Yemenis and no hatred should be allowed if success is to be seen. "We need security and stability to ensure that peace enters every Yemen residence," said Amrani. Amrani announced his resignation from the ruling General People Congress party after it stood behind the March 18 massacre, which killed more then 50 unarmed protesters. He is one of the respected figures in Yemen and is calling for reforms in the media sector. Posted by: Fred 2011-12-14 |
