... 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..., quits.
Last week, an officer threw Saleh with his shoes; setting off a wave of protests in the military facility demanding their allegedly corrupt boss resigns, and emboldening others to get rid of their corrupt bosses.
Loud calls to remove al-Hmar from his position have begun form al-Anad Base and expanded to all Air Force bases in Yemen in less than a week.
After the peaceful revolution has successfully toppled Saleh from office, a wave of institutional revolts ensued.
"Two high-ranking officers have been kidnapped due to their supportive position to discharging al-Hmar, and we know exactly who behind this incident, it's the Republican Guard, the best trained and equipped troops in the country, commanded by Saleh's elder son, Ahmed," said a soldier at Sana'a base, requesting anonymity.
Saleh relatives still control key military institutions, including the elite Elite Republican Guards, Special Forces, Counterterrorism Unit, National Security, and Air force.
Saleh has left Yemen for U.S.A to receive further medical treatment form wounds and injuries sustained in a bombing last year at the Presidential Palace and he is most likely not going to return home.
