Arabia
President Saleh's Fading Powers
2012-01-08
[Yemen Post] With Yemen's ruler supposedly stepping down from power in less than 45 days, strong differences are taking place between him and the country's next leader, VP AbduRabu Hadi.

With Yemen's ruler supposedly stepping down from power in less than 45 days, strong differences are taking place between him and the country's next leader, VP AbduRabu Hadi.

Numerous ruling party officials verbally attacked current Hadi in the presence of Saleh, and claimed that he is on a mission to destroy everything connected to the fading President-for-Life Saleh,
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
and start a new dynasty.

Senior ruling family officials are trying to convince Saleh to stay in power fearing they will all fall like dominos if he flips aside.

A number of Saleh's core pillars have already been ousted from major position as a result of a growing phenomena, which has been known as the "revolution of institutions in Yemen."

A close Saleh aide told Yemen Post that he is worried that the immunity given to him will not be enough for him and that he is almost sure that he will stand trial for the crimes committed during the 33 years of Yemen rule.
