INFORMedia - alternative free media news and reviews - during times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act

On Friday, massive demonstrations were held in the capital Sana’a, the northern city of Sa’ada, and the southern city of Taiz, where protesters shouted slogans denouncing US and Israeli meddling in their country’s internal affairs and demanded that the Yemeni government cease its political and military cooperation with Washington.

The demonstrators called on the military to try to do a better job protecting the Yemeni people from the violence raging across the country.

In addition, they demanded that the government dismiss relatives of deposed Yemeni dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh and prosecute him and his aides for their culpability in the killing of hundreds of demonstrators since January 2011.

Saleh formally stepped down and handed over power to Vice President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi in February 2012. The power transfer occurred under a Saudi-backed deal brokered by the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council in April 2011 and signed by Saleh in Riyadh on November 23, 2011.

Since January 2011, Yemenis have held numerous demonstrations across the nation to call for political restructuring of the country and to demand the dismissal of members of Saleh’s regime from their government posts.
