Arabia
Saleh Will not Resign until Opposition Stops Irresponsible Attitudes
2011-05-10
[Yemen Post] Yemen's ruling party said on Sunday that President-for-Life Saleh
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
will not resign amid the current circumstances, as an official in the party warned none can predict how the situation will develop here because of the continuous irresponsible attitudes of the opposition.
"Irresponsible attitudes" means they want to dump him...
Ahmed Ubaid bin Dhagher, assistant Secretary General of the party, said there is hope that the political forces in Yemen will reach an agreement to end the current crisis, pointing to the GCC West-backed initiative.

The Joint Meeting Parties, the opposition coalition, has recently said it will stick to the GCC plan, warning that any postponement of signing it will put the regime directly before the people's choice.

The GCC initiative represented the good way out of the Yemeni crisis, but to translate it to concrete results, its terms should be implemented according to their appropriate sequence. In other words, the resignation of President Saleh should occur after the opposition removes all causes of political and security unrest," he said. "The opposition is taking advantage of the unrest and this makes the situation more complicated".

It is true there are hard-line forces within the opposition bloc pushing to make the situation much worse and seeking to derail any national reconciliation effort, but our bid relies on the good Yemeni people inside the bloc and the youths who must place their country's interest above anything else, he said.

The General People's Congress Party, the governing party, backed all the initiatives offered by President Saleh to lift the country out of all crises, but the opposition faced that through raising their political demands, he added.

"The GCC power transition initiative aimed to maintain Yemen's unity and stability, and for this, the ruling party must back and take its principles to avoid violence and end the political unrest".

The best solution to the Yemeni crisis is that the opposition stop its coup projects and conspiracies against the country, and really the GCC plan paves the way for ending our crisis, he said in an interview with the September 26 website.

" Amid such circumstances, President Saleh should not quit, if he does, a real threat will be posed to the country's unity and security. Also, if he does, the people will resist that and will urge to stay".

#1  IN OTHER IRRESPONSIBLE NEWS, BHARAT RAKSHAK > JeT: US, WORLD WILL SEE MORE OSAMAS UNLESS UNJUST ATTITUDES AGZ MUSLIMS CHANGED.

ARTIC > JeT AMIR M. HASSAN = argues that as MORE OSAMAS ARE KILLED BY THE ANTI-MUSLIM US-WEST, THE MORE NEW OSAMAS WILL BE CREATED TO TAKE THE PLACE OF ONES LOST.

* Reminds me of CHIEF COCHISE's character in the movie "FORT APACHE" > "...AND FOR EACH APACHE THAT YOU KILL [US Cavalry soldiers], TEN WHITE MEN WILL DIE"!
