Military Committee prepares reorganization projection
2012-04-26
[Yemen Post] Defense Minister Mohammad Nasser Ahmed has said that the Military Committee formed under the GCC-mediated power transfer deal and the Higher Military Academy will prepare a projection to reorganize the military and security services.
Egad, the Yemeni military has learned how to use Powerpoint. There's no stopping them now...
A military-run news website, 26 September, said that Ahmed met on Wednesday with high-ranking of Yemeni officers including Chief of General Staff and his deputies, confirming that the Military Committee made progress regarding security and stability in the Capital Sana'a

Media sources had stated that a US military team has recently visited the state and held meetings with officials of the Military Committee and the Higher Military Academy.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?
Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.
If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

the minister said that the Capital Sana'a will be totally removed from gunnies and barracks, stressing that all roads will be opened.

He further ordered to improve living standards of all persons affiliated to the Yemeni military, praising their role in combating Al-Qaeda in Abyan
...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues...
and other southern governorates.

The GCC deal provides to reconstruct the military on national bases in the wake of a sharp division the military witnessed during the last year as military commanders defected from the 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...
After several days of negotiations brokered by a United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
envoy, Jamal Benomar Mohammed Saleh al-Ahmar, half-brother of former Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, has resigned as head of the Yemeni air force on Tuesday.

Hadi , who took office in February, has vowed to launch more reforms in the army to end divisions and hold a national dialogue to settle disputes among political parties.
