"It's a war between two powerful teams within the regime, not a revolution for change that we need," said the political analyst and politics professor at Sanaa university, Najeeb Ghallab.
The defected faction seems to betting on more bloodshed in violent demonstrations to exercise more external and internal pressure on Saleh and his team.
"if they bet on more bloodshed to win on us, we bet on peace and democracy to win on them," said Abdul Janadi, the deputy minister of information and the official. front man of the government.
