Editor,
It seems like the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt have inspired the people of Yemen to follow suit. The president Ali Abdullah Saleh has ruled the country since 1978, and his rule has been ‘unpleasant’ to put it mildly.
Two protesters were murdered in the city of Aden. The tension is rising as president Saleh has canceled a planned trip to his puppet masters in Washington. As that wasn’t bad enough for president Saleh, a group of influential religious scholars have also sided with the protesters and demanded that the time for a new government has come.
Let’s buckle up, because it looks like this is going to be a bumpy ride.
