Vice President Hadi Takes Control
2011-06-06
[Yemen Post] Vice President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi started today his new powers as an acting president after Presient Saleh left for treatment in Soddy Arabia.

Hadi also met with the U.S. ambassador to Yemen and they talked about an orderly transfer of power as government officials denied that Saleh has left the country forever with his family.

A senior revolution leader in Sanaa said that there are strong chances that the youth protesters will accept the VP Hadi if he leads change in Yemen. She said, "Even though President-for-Life Saleh
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
still have his sons and nephews in power, they are kids and will cry soon if Saleh does not return."

#1  Take wid a grain of salt, as the last thing I've read this AM is that Saleh has NOT taken formal control yet, + that Prez Saleh's familia is preventing or obtsructing Hadi from doing so???
