| 2011-12-01 |
| [Yemen Post] Senior sources within the office of Vice President Abdul Rabu Mansoor Hadi said that he continues to call President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... for every move he takes, forgetting the Saleh is now only an honorary president. "The vice president tells the opposition parties that he cannot take a decision on certain matters only with the approval of Saleh. Hadi knows the timing in sensitive and he wants to ensure all his steps are carefully taken," said an official close to Hadi. The power transfer deal signed in Riyadh last week gave Hadi complete presidential authority and left Saleh with the honorary name of president but with no authority. President Saleh has been meeting with bigwigs in the ruling party since his arrival to Sanaa last week. Saleh wants to ensure the complete loyalty of the majority of the government army and elite republican guards before he leaves power, and is now coordinating ton make that possible. |
