In many parts of Yemen are quite often few demonstrations that are protesting the military and tribal rule. There has hardly been any international news coverage about these events (1) . Meanwhile there are many civilians who have been shot and got killed in these protests by the military forces.
The 30 year-old regime of Ali Saleh, his powerful politicians, the military, and hired tribal-militia thugs are constantly committing atrocities of a criminal and corrupt nature against the Yemeni People, their property, methods of living, life-style, interests, well-being, security and freedoms.
The Allied Parties Coalition/APC (Liqa Ahzab al-Mushtarq) (2) is the opposition body that is representing all oppositions to the government. The APC has frequently expressed regret that despite the peaceful nature of the on-going complaints the security forces are continuing to shoot at marching activists. Many civilians as a result have been killed during the security forces attacks on these civilians every time there is a demonstration.
While Local and regional media outlets (3) are presenting the wrath of the Yemeni populations as if though it is merely an anger over the constantly rising inflation in the country the truth goes deeper than what is being presented. What causes these popular agitations is the devastating hunger and growing poverty, low standards of living, highly priced commodities, the lack of cash to buy basic staples, and the fact that unemployment rate is at 60% high. What is also more important are the facts that the majority of the population is demoralized, disturbed and feel hopeless of the Saleh's regime top-to-bottom and mischievous reforms.
The dictatorship of Ali Saleh continues its inhumane practices and atrocities against the protesters’ dissatisfaction and restlessness. However, if the government continues to clamp on these civilians in its militant fashion, restlessness will escalate and the regime (4) will find its structure gradually falling apart, especially if Ali Saleh himself is not willing to recognize the Yemeni People's rage and let reforms happen from the ground up -- not from his usual top-to-bottom constantly failing approach. One way to let the people make grass-root changes toward these reforms is to let them voice their resentment and grievances in all forms possible without governmental interference or even stopping them. Ali Saleh (5) and his powerful elites must pay careful attention to the serious initiatives of the credible Allied Parties Coalition (Liqa Ahzab al-Mushtarq) before it is too late.
