Prominent military leader’s defection from the Elite Republican Guards’ units affiliated with 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... have come at a time when the legitimate government’s forces made advances in the Nahm front. According to the report, legitimate government troops, aided by the coalition’s air force, shelled militias’ posts and reinforcements and seized control of a number of posts, including those in Jabal Qurn and Daa, after militias escaped. |
