Yemen President Calls UN Envoy and Complains about VP Treatment

[Yemen Post] President-for-Life Saleh
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
was not happy when Vice President AbduRabu Hadi would answer his calls earlier this week and was angered at the VP excuses for rejecting his calls.

Sources confirmed to Yemen Post that Saleh then complained to Jamal Ben Omar, the UN envoy to Yemen and complained to him the latest treatment from Hadi.

The latter then called the VP and informed him of Saleh's complaints.

"Saleh is now part of the past, but he insists on remaining part of the future. Hadi has strict orders to take charge and Saleh is scared of being sidelined," a bigwig familiar with the event told Yemen Post.

VP Hadi is seeking not to anger Saleh until he leaves office, though Saleh is currently stripped of most authorities.

International observers warned that Saleh will try to still be in control even after leaving power and are pushing for sanctions if he plans to do so.

President Saleh signed a power transfer deal and will be forced to step down from power by February 21. In return Saleh will be granted immunity from the crimes and violations he committed during his time in rule.
