| Vice President Warns 'Yemen on Verge of Civil War' |
| 2011-10-01 |
| [Yemen Post] Yemen's Vice President, Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi, warned that if the situation explodes in the country the GCC-brokered power transition deal and all peaceful solutions to the political crisis will end, Saba reported on Wednesday. The current situation represents a direct threat to the general situation in Yemen and with it the country enters a dangerous stage of civil war, he said. Despite meetings with the opposition that started last Sunday, the opposition continued to escalate and inflame the situation through occupying and stationing on streets and deploying vehicles and troops, a move with which the crisis worsened, he was quoted as saying during his meeting with ambassadors of permanent members of the Security Council, and EU and GCC blocs. The security-military committee on supervising a ceasefire after heavy festivities between pro and anti-regime forces in Sana'a last week attended the meeting. Hadi addressed the meeting saying, "I preferred to meet you today to launch together a process that will lead to agreeing on a mechanism for signing and implementing the GCC plan and ensuring the commitment of all parties to the plan's terms". Hadi considered the meeting as a kick-start to practical implementation of the GCC deal after he had been authorized by President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... to hold a dialogue with the opposition over necessary steps to make the deal a success. |

| #1 Somehow, for me, "civil" and Arab intertribal conflict don't mix. |
