After Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, it's Yemen's turn to host a protest suppressed by firing firearms. It was in this atmosphere that the Yemen deplores multiple victims.
Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Yemeni president is both head of state and government, dominates the country's political life.
In power since 22 May 1990, he commited to leave at the end of the year. But the revolt of the opponents of the dictatorship; refuses, wanting his immediate departure, especially after the massacre of about forty protesters in the capital Sana'a by the security forces.
The opposition says fearing a political maneuver, what that was still acceptable yesterday is not today. In February, tens of thousands of demonstrators marched in the streets already Sana'a which had resulted in a declaration by the President not to seek a third term. Things are soared since that a significant portion of the army, his clan and its executives would have dropped him.
We know that Yemen is facing activism of Al-Qaeda and the 22 March, 13 militants were killed in clashes with Yemeni soldiers to Loder, south of the country, according to a local official.
In the south-east town of Al-Mukalla, on the map, the first incident between elements of the regular army and presidential guard units has did two killed, according witnesses and medical sources.The terrorists of Osama bin Laden are active in Yemen as the country is not stabilized; especially in the east wich is desertic.
Yemen is an extremely poor country among the 10 poorest in the world, wich explains the revolt suppressed in blood. This poverty and unemployment are at the heart of the revolt in a country of 24 million people and 40 inhabitants per km ². There is 45% of the population who lives below the poverty line set at two dollars a day; it can be compared in Cameroon.
The Yemen's oil revenues: he produces 300.00 barrels crude oil per day, representing 25% of its revenues. In addition the country has significant gas resources from a height of 259 billion m3.
