Britain Will not Recognize Transitional Council in Yemen
2011-07-20
[Yemen Post] The UK will not recognize any transitional council to manage Yemen's affairs, said Jonathan Wiliks, the UK ambassdor to Sana'a on Monday, two days after the youth-led revolution council formed a transitional council including opposition figures abroad.

The announced council is still controversial inside change and freedom squares in Yemeni cities and as some of its members said they had no idea about their nominations.

He argued that no country will support such council and that it is very necessary to focus on the suffering of the Yemeni people right now.

He also said that he had advised the youth-led protesters inside squares of change and freedom telling them that they can't form a competent transitional council because of their divisions.

Wiliks warned of negative consequences if power is not transferred to Vice President Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi, who is managing the country while President-for-Life Saleh
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
is being treated in Soddy Arabia.

The refusal of President Saleh and his family to discussing an immediate power transfer will negaitively affect political, economic, security, social landscaptes in the country, the ambassador was qouted as saying by newsyemen.net.

"Yemen is in need for a political change right now under its constitution which enshrined that the president should transfer power to his deputy in case the president is incompetent," he said, stressing the importance of involving all political forces in tackling the current situation to achieve a positive political change.

#1  Yemen may be the least of Britain's probs.

* WAFF > ERDOGAN SENDS THUNDERBOLT ON CYPRUS TALKS. Other than the status quo, Turkey may not accept anything less than a TWO-STATE SOLUTION FOR CYPRUS, + will not accept any Greek Cypriot Presidency of the EU in 2012 UNLESS A "MUTUAL" RESOLUTION TO CYPRUS' ISSUES IS FIRSTLY REACHED.

What affect CYPRUS affects MALTA = UK projection of strategic milpol influence in the Eastern Med.
