Former President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh's... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...
media advisor, Ahmed al-Sufi, said on Wednesday that President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi's decrees, which were issued last Friday, are unjust and hasty.
He pointed out that the decrees were unexpected as they favored one side over the other, saying it was obvious that more military commanders loyal to the ex-President that were dismissed than those defected against him.
The decrees did not take into consideration the principle of reconciliation that was adopted in the GCC-brokered power transfer deal and they expanded the areas-controlled by Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, the commander of the First Armored Division who defected against Saleh in May last year, in the capital Sana'a, according to al-Sufi.
The only beneficiary of the decrees was the Islamic party of Islah, the main party in the Joint Meeting Parties bloc, added al-Sufi, wandering "does President Hadi wants us to hand over the power to Islah which represents the Moslem Brüderbund in Yemen?"
Hadi has become the President of Yemen in February after he overwhelmingly won the one-candidate election, which was part of the GCC-initiated, US and west backed accord.
Hadi issued republican degrees sacking dozens of Salah's loyalists including his half brother, Mohammed Saleh al-Ahmar, and nephew, Tariq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, from the Air Force, and Presidential Guard command respectively. The decrees drew the ire of the former ruling General People Congress party.
