Intelligence official hands over duties to successor
[Yemen Post] Deputy chairman of the National Security Amar Mohammad Abdullah Saleh handed over its position to the newly-appointed Mohammad Al-Khadhir, the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) said. Saba said Ammar handed his duties over to his successor under the supervision of Chief of the National Security, Ali Mohammad Al-Anisi.President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi issued a decree, firing Ammar, a nephew of the former president Ali Mohammed Abdullah Saleh hours after a jacket wallah killed and maimed hundreds of Yemeni soldiers at Al-Sabeen Square of Sana'a while they were in a military parade rehearsal. Hadi also issued on Monday decrees of dismissing commander of the Central Security Abdul-Malik Al-Taib and chief of the Police Forces Mohammad Al-Qawasi, both men are allies of Saleh. Al-Eshtraki Net online newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Yemeni Socialist Part, quoted its sources as saying that Al-Qawsi still refuses the decree of Hadi and that he brought gunnies to the headquarters of the Police Forces. Relatives of Saleh have refused Hadi's decrees, and only after international pressures and intervention of the UN Envoy Jamal Benomar, Saleh's half brother, Mohammad Saleh Al-Ahmar, handed over the air forces command following three weeks of rebellion. Saleh's allies still refuse handing over the 3rd Republican Guard Brigade to the newly-appointed Abdul-Rahman Al-Halili. The command of the 3rd Republican Guard Brigade was handed over to Al-Ahlili with the presence of the UN envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar who put pressures on the pervious commander, Tariq Mohmmad Abdullah Saleh, to hand over. However, the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach... after the departure of Benomar, Al-Halili was prevented by officers loyal to Saleh from entering the brigade. Media sources said Benomar is set to arrive in Yemen next Wednesday to follow up the implementation of Hadi's decrees. Posted by: Fred 2012-05-23 |
