With Vice President Abdu Rabu Manssor Hadi making it clear that Yemen’s ruling party will not have serious negotiations with any faction until President Saleh comes back to Yemen, the winds of a long war is slowly covering the skies of Yemen.
Opposition parties in Yemen are still in shock that President Saleh was attacked and might not be back anytime soon. The ghost of Saleh that haunted them for years during dialogue is still haunting them while he sits in a hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Sources close to the ruling family said that President Saleh is trying to convince the Saudi government to come back to Yemen and bring with him the medical team treating him. Saleh knows that everyday he stays at distance from Yemen, the more of chances grow that he will be forced to leave power.
The ruling family still controls a large portion of the Yemen military. Security forces have vowed to defend the rule of Saleh under all costs. General Ahmed Ali, son of President Saleh, today sits at the presidential palace while the vice president has not had the power to enter it. A number of the vice president’s high profile meetings were even conducted at his residence.
Some are starting to compare the son of Saleh to the son of the Libyan leader.
Yemen analyst believe that with the ruling family willing to die and sacrifice the lives of thousands the Yemeni revolution will turn bloody while the international community watches.
The opposition, with the backing of defected military leader General Ali Mohsen, have started to understand that the use of force could be
the only option to reach power, therefore, considering the option of Yemenis killing one another.
US started conducting random drone attacks in the country, some killing innocent civilians, including women and children. The US is treating Yemeni provinces the same way it did in Pakistan by conducting random attacks on who it calls terror suspects.
With over 60 million arms pieces in Yemen, the country is on the verge on turning the gulf into a war zone.
