Ruling Party Official Denies Reports Saleh to Come Back Friday
2011-06-24
[Yemen Post] Assistant Secretary General of the General People's Congress, the ruling party, Sultan Al-Barakani, denied on Wednesday reports that President-for-Life Saleh
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
will be back on Friday.

"President Saleh still needs more weeks, at least two weeks, to convalesce," he said.

The announcement coincided with reports that Saleh has already recovered from injuries he got in the attack on his palace earlier this month and that his plane landed in Soddy Arabia two days ago to take him home soon.

Earlier this week, information advisor to Saleh, Ahmed Al-Sofi, said the president, who along with several bigwigs was maimed in the attack, would come back from Soddy Arabia next Friday, triggering the anger of the youth-led protesters in most Yemeni cities.

The protesters said the return should be resisted and urged to form an immediate transitional council, as they urged the relatives of Saleh to leave Yemen.
