General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, the commander of the First Armored Division and the Northwestern military region, accused former 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...
of trying to thwart the GCC-brokered deal by demanding to adhere to previous agreement, according to a source close to Mohsen.
These comments came as a response for Saleh's demand that elements of the one-year political impasse quit their posts and leave Yemen based on a deal struck at Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi's, the current President, house last year.
"If he wants us to abide by previous agreements then fine we will, but the immunity granted by the GCC deal would be invalid and nullified," said the source who considered Saleh's return to Yemen and the political scene is a breach of the deal singed in the Saudi capital of Riyadh in November last year.In May 2011, Saleh, Sadeq al-Ahmar, Mohsen and other top opposition figures held talks in Hadi house with the aim of resolving the crisis and they agreed that ten influential opposition leaders as well as Saleh quit their posts of authority and leave Yemen.
However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
Saleh has changed his mind hours later and withdrew from the deal, saying it was serving his opponents and that he was holding incumbent position unlike his foes who can be relieved from their posts by a republican decree.
In a statement released on Thursday, the former ruling General People Congress Party, whose head and founder is Saleh, said previous deal should be committed to by all sides, arguing Saleh had quit his post then his opponents must follow suit.The statement demanded the resignation of Gen. Mohsen, Abdu-Majeed al-Zandani, Abdu-Wahab al-Anasi, Hameed al-Hmar, Sadeq al-Hmar, Hasham al-Hmar, Mathahj al-Hmar, Hussein al-Hmar, Mansour al-Hanq, and Mohammed Ali Mohsen al-Hmar.
