protest in yemen

Tens of thousands of people called for the Yemeni president's ouster in protests across the country on Thursday inspired by the popular revolt in Tunisia. The demonstrations led by opposition members and youth activists are a significant expansion of the unrest sparked by the Tunisian uprising, which also inspired Egypt's largest protests in years. They pose a new threat to the stability of the Arab world's most impoverished nation, which has become the focus of increased Western concern about a resurgent al-Qaida branch, a northern rebellion and a secessionist movement in the south.
The largest demonstrations took place in the capital of Sanaa, where crowds in four parts of the city shut down streets and chanted slogans calling for an end to the government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been in power for nearly 32 years.
"We will not accept anything less than the president leaving," said independent parliamentarian Ahmed Hashid.
Similar anti-government protests took place in the southern provinces of Dali and Shabwa where riot police used batons to disperse the demonstrators. In al-Hudaydah province, an al-Qaida stronghold along the Red Sea coast, thousands took to the streets demanding the end of Saleh's rule.
Opposition leaders called for more demonstrations on Friday.
"We'll only be happy when we hear the words 'I understand you' from the president," Hashid said, invoking a statement issued by Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali before he fled the country.

Saleh has tried to defuse simmering tensions by raising salaries for the army and by denying opponents' claims he plans to install his son as his successor.
After the Tunisian turmoil, he ordered income taxes slashed in half and instructed his government to control prices. He deployed anti-riot police and soldiers to several key areas in Sanaa and its surroundings to prevent riots.
That hasn't stopped critics of his rule from taking to the streets in days of protests calling for him to step down, a red line that few dissenters had previously dared to cross.
Nearly half of Yemen's population lives below the poverty line of $2 a day and doesn't have access to proper sanitation. Less than a tenth of the roads are paved. Tens of thousands have been displaced from their homes by conflict, flooding the cities.

wind of change in arabe world

The dictators of the Middle East aren’t going down without a fight. As anti-government protests escalated in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen, so has the states’ response. Dozens of peaceful demonstrators have been killed in the three countries over the last few days, but the tidal wave of revolution sweeping across the Middle East shows no sign of retreating.

In Bahrain, security forces raided peaceful protesters while they slept in a square in central Manama, the capital, Thursday. According to Democracy Now!, heavily armed riot police fired tear gas and rubber-coated bullets into the surprised crowd, killing at least six people and wounding hundreds more. Bahrain’s main hospital is “flooded” with victims, and security forces attacked doctors, nurses and patients alike. Demonstrators were attacked again today. Bahrain’s special envoy to the United States, Latif Al-Zayani, told CNN’s Candy Crowley that his government’s response to the peaceful protests has been “proportional,” but the deadly crackdown has drawn a rebuke from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “The United States strongly opposes the use of violence and strongly supports reform that moves toward democratic institution building and economic openness,” she said. “I called my counterpart in Bahrain this morning and directly conveyed our deep concerns about the actions of the security forces and I emphasized how important it was that, given that there will be both funerals and prayers tomorrow, that they not be marred by violence.”

malcolm x on zeonisme

• The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is "dollarism." The Zionists have mastered the science of dollarism: the ability to come posing as a friend and benefactor, bearing gifts and all other forms of economic aid and offers of technical assistance. Thus, the power and influence of Zionist Israel in many of the newly "independent" African nations has fast-become even more unshakeable than that of the 18th century European colonialists... and this new kind of Zionist colonialism differs only in form and method, but never in motive or objective.

• Zionist Israel's occupation of Arab Palestine has forced the Arab world to waste billions of precious dollars on armaments, making it impossible for these newly independent Arab nations to concentrate on strengthening the economies of their countries and elevate the living standard of their people.

• "They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as fast as they."

• Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab Palestine, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all Arab property for themselves just based on the "religious" claim that their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? Only a thousand years ago the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation ... where Spain used to be, as the European zionists have done to our Arab brothers and sisters in Palestine?...
