GPC officials to form new political party
2012-03-02
[Yemen Post] The Aden-based Al-Omana'a Newspaper has revealed that consultations by big shots of the General People Congress are ongoing to form anew political party.

The most circulated newspaper in Aden said the veteran politician Abdul-Karim Al-Iriani, Minister of Tel-Communication Ahmed Bin Daghar and Minister of Foreign Affairs Abu Bakar Al-Qairbi spearheaded the consultations, Al-Omana said.

The newspaper said the new party would absorb all leaders of the resigned officials of the GPC and those officials who declared their jointing to anti-Saleh protests early of the last year.

The newspaper that quoted well-informed sources said the new party would help overcome challenges and difficulties Yemen witnesses due to the political crisis sweeping the state last year, pointing out that the Untied States supports the notion of creating the new party.

It made reference that the party whose name is still uncertain would stand by the new Yemeni president who will lead the country for a two-year-long interim period as stipulated by the so-called power transition deal.

This nation surfaced days after Abdo Rabu Mansour Hadi was elected as a new president of Saleh who was forced to step down under international pressures.

Local sources affirmed that many aides of the ousted President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh
... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...
left Yemen, stressing that the former security chief of Taiz who was accused by protesters of committing crimes and violations left to Cairo on Sunday.

Yemeni protesters constantly took into streets, demanding to prosecute Saleh and his cronies and bring them to justice.

However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
the GCC deal had granted Saleh and his closest allies immunity from prosecution for crimes they committed during deadly crackdown on the anti-regime protests.
