The proof is in the "continued bolstering of military units loyal to Saleh," the statement said noting the "refusal" by pro-Saleh troops to withdraw from the streets of Sanaa despite orders from the newly formed military commission created to restore order on the streets of the capital.
In a statement published by Yemen's official news agency over the weekend, Saleh said he would "not allow the collapse of state institutions," in response to an increased number of protests within government institutions designed to unseat Saleh loyalists that continue to hold key positions.
