Protests escalate after new government formed
2011-12-09
[Yemen Post] Hundreds of thousands of pro revolution youth protested on Thursday rejecting the newly formed government and called for a complete fall of President-for-Life Saleh's
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
regime.

Youth activists rejected this government and called it a puppet government that is working to save Saleh from being held responsible for the crimes committed against unarmed protesters.

The protests took place in 17 provinces nationwide raising fears that the new government will soon fall after goals of the revolution have not been reached.

Sana'a protest was the largest on Thursday and only hours after kabooms were heard in the northern part of the capital.

Light festivities continue between government forces and tribal fighters loyal to the Ahmar clan.

The government formation went smooth in Yemen and UN envoy to Yemen, Jamal Ben Omar, praised the recent political success in the country.

He hoped that all sides would work in helping the agreement be fully implemented and help the county start building its economic infrastructure.
